Forza Life VS Real life Empty Forza Life VS Real life

Post by Slider S15 Mon 12 Oct 2009 - 12:45

Many people think its strange to live out a seperate life through a computer game, they say its unhealthy and warps your sense of reality. But i would never say this of living out a life through Forza.

But just how appealing would it be to live the Forza life for real? Here's a Comparison between My Forza Life and My Real life:

Money:

Forza: Im a multimillionaire
Real Life: Impoverished Student

Job:

Forza: Professional Racing Driver in one of the most Prestigious Racing Organisations in the world
Real Life: Get rejected for Cleaning jobs over summer, Now stuck at uni earning myself about 10K worth of debt

Friends:

Forza: Every week meet up with like minded people to have fun chats and close racing
Real Life: Can go about 4 days without being directly spoken to or able to speak to anybody, Stuck in library doing work in silence

Cars:

Forza: Garage full of Multi million pound race tuned machineary.
Real Life: Drive way full of Czech Poverty Wagon (Skoda Felicia)

Power:
Forza: Many cars with over 1000bhp to play with.
Real Life: An immense 68bhp from my 1.3litre Skoda Motor.

Paint Jobs:


Forza: Garage full of custom painted exotica and race replicas.
Real Life: Slightly dodgey looking navy blue, Some panels dont quite match, small patches of rust... Some trim missing

In Car Driver information:

Forza: Fully customizable head up display and Head set.
Real Life: Crap looking grey dash board with a big clock instead of a Rev Counter


Dont get me wrong I love my real life, But when you look at it like that you cant blame people for wanting to live in that world, to escape into a world where your everything youve dreamed of, I couldnt blame anybody for wanting to...

Sponsorship:
Forza life: Easy as pie. The worlds corporate identites are yours to do do with as you please. Any company will support you. Even Peniston Oils!

Real Life: Given the current economic climate no bugger will even look at new drivers to support or at least not without ALOT of security and promises. It's VERY hard to get started.

Travel:
Forza life: Travel the world in a blink of an eye. Even warp drive is too slow. Cars can be transported from circuit to circuit in moments and no truckies needed!

Real life: Logistically impossible to travel from Silverstone to Suzuka in less tha a minute.
Trucks driven by sweaty guys with advanced builders bum (though you'd not point that out to them!)
jet lag almost cetainly an issue.

Wow is that a Degree?? lol

Banger Racing:

Forza Life: Can Flat out full straight someone and not get hurt, can Get Doored Flat out and not get hurt.
Real Life: 5 Time World Champion Breaks neck and can never race again ("Boxer Jack" For those who saw that appauling Report on 5th gear about bangers earlier in the year), Former world Champion gets half a triumph in his shoulder after getting Doored, Misses rest of Season.

Car Prep:

Forza Life: It takes seconds to get a car built up
Real Life: It takes days to get almost anything more than a service done

Car Painting:

Real Life: It takes forever to do anything Flash
Forza Life: Still Takes Forever but atlest you dont have to wait for it to dry lol Razz

Goes along with car prep, but:

Car Buying:
Forza Life: Buy a perfect car in less the 10 seconds with money from a race that took 30min.

Real Life: Spend years saving up for a car and all the other necessary crap and the car isnt always in the greatest condition.

Another driver; "There's a fifty percent chance I'm on your left!"

Real Life:
Your spotter; "There's a fifty percent chance he's on your left!"
