Also managed to go karting when I was a kid... a friend of mine broke his leg that day and since then I thought I would much rather play the video game version of it and not risk getting a broken leg.. or worse, and with more style that some 13y/o could do in a petrol go kart.
Again I have also tried to join the Navy, I got turned down after 13 months of intensive training to get myself fit, only to be told that because one of my legs is longer then the other the doctor failed my medical exam... which was right before the final examination and test where Ihad to run a mile and a half in 12.30 minutes, I could do it in 11.15, then swim fully clothed for I think it was 500meters then tread water for 3 and a half minutes, all of which I could do.
I have done this also! I didn't like it when I got it in the neck from my parents, and I don't get in trouble for playing a fighting game like street fighter(my preferred beat 'em up)coupled the fact that I couldn't shoot fire balls from my hands...definitely prefer the game.
This is one of the ones I have not done, and seeing as I do not want to kill anyone fighting in r/l with a weapon would:
1. Require some arms training with said weapon.
2. Require someone else who had also had arms training and for them to have said arm when I entered combat with them.
3. Require the Police to not arrest me or my opponent for carrying about a lethal weapon. And
4. them not arresting me/my opponent for GBH/Murder/Attempted murder. Its frowned upon in civilized society.
I think I have gone into my past about the Navy already but this is slightly different, before I had aspirations to become a Navel Officer and a Gentleman (lol) I was a member of the 1349 Woking Air Training Corps, where I indeed had weapons training and also....
I don't even know what that is so I have no response to it xD (Yes I am serious I don't know what it means, I honestly don't know if you did a typo or what).
I am one of the minority that actually can't stand Tony Hawks or the like games... though much to most of my friends chagrin.
*thinks for 5 minutes* Yep I definitely have played (and preferred) actual rl card and board games... with possibly Solitaire being the exception that proves the rule, its just so much easier have the cards all nice and neat.
At the end of the day I would rather do what I prefer to do, as opposed to doing it another way, Yes I play war games such as CoD and MoH but that is likely the only way I will be involved in such warfare seeing as the military life I would desire is closed off from me, as is racing super expensive car's for the price of a Pre owned Forza (which cost me about £15 back in the day) and not being arrested and fined: Big Win.
