I wonder if life would be in 8-bit or 16-bit :eyes:

Or life could be 1-bit, that would seriously be scary!

Every time I would get something, anything, like a piece of cheese or a bottle cap, it would make a short song, and a window would smack into my face and explain it. Then, I would have to find a "start" button, and the item screen would come, and I'd have to climb the screen to get it.

An RPG, eh?

*wakes up*

*brushes teeth* +2 HP.

*eats breakfast* +10 HP.

*goes to school via train, encounters an enemy, Fat Commuter: Attack with Shove!* +4 exp.

Odd...makes me think of that X-Play segment.

If my life was like an RPG, I'd have enough money for college, as I would have kicked many enemy butts already.

Here's another question to branch this topic: what type of character would you be? How great would your stats rise? Follow my stats as a model.

Rate yourself on a scale of 1-10
1=Terrible
2=Awful
3=Poor
4=Fair
5=So-so
6=Okay
7=Good
8=Very Good
9=Great
10=Excellent

Definitions for
Strength: Basically, how hard you can hit, or how much you can bench.
Agility: How fast you can move, how high you can jump, etc.
Vitality/HP: Think of stamina. How much you can endure before getting tired.
Intelligence/MP: I KNOW we can't cast magic, but just think how smart you are.
Luck: How your luck is in life.
Equipment Selection: Can you use a variety of items/tools/weapons/etc.?

As for me:

Strength: 6
Agility: 8
Vitality (HP): 7
Intelligence (MP): 6
Luck: 3
Equipment Selection: 7

Well-rounded, indeed.

I would go for:

Strength: 3
Agility: 7
Vitality/HP: 9
Luck: 5
Intelligence/MP (prefer MP): 10
Equipment Selection: 4 (low strength)

Pure power ain't my style.

Strength: 3
Agility: 7
Vitality (HP): 7
Intelligence (MP): 9
Luck: 5
Equipment Selection: 6

If I were in an RP, I'd be the person in back casting spells while everyone else is running up, attacking, and getting hit. XD

Since I brought up 7th Saga earlier and mentioned Kamil (the well-balanced character) and noticed my stats were all average like his, I found another connection to RPGs and real life: Rivalry and backstabbing (also in 7th Saga).

In a way, life is already like an RPG. We always have financial troubles.

Come to think about it, life is like Star Ocean 2.

-Real time battles, kinda Seiken Densetsu/Secret of Mana
-Relationship values. You talk to other people, and depending on what you do/say, you can either make them like you more, or even like you less.
-Item creation. Okay, so Eternal Sphere wouldn't exist in real life, but cooking, art, and a few other ways to make items.

Hmm... It depends on status. If I was a minor character, I would be bored saying the same things over and over. If I was the main character, I would have to walk around a lot.
