My Video Game Idea
I think they should make a video game called LIFE where you can do anything. You can waterski. You can sleep with prostitutes. You can start a frozen yogurt business. You can do anything in this game. That’s how we sell the game—unlimited opportunities!
Then people buy the game, download it and start playing—and the only thing that anyone can do is play as the head of accounting for a small house inspection business in Northern Ohio. No matter what anyone does, what options they execute, they’re stuck in this boring accounting job.
Obviously, people will hate this game. If ignored long enough, they’ll storm my mansion, come to me and demand, “We wanted to do fun and exciting stuff, not work as a fucking accountant in North Ohio!”
And I’d look at them all and say, “Hey. That’s LIFE.”
