Could your job be a game?

[Regga_Overallt]

I dont think that my work could be turned into a game, since it lacks crucial elements, such as fun, but pretending to be working is awfully similar to a stealth game


Off topic: I was surfing at work and looking for a new job and I finally found something I have plenty experience off It would look good in my CV

Oh man would I LOVE to have "Welcome to Gamestop" turned into a game.

- Customers gain a whole new appreciation for underpaid game advisors!
- Alphabetize every shelf, every day for bonus points!
- Pull your hair in frustration as groups of ten year olds put everything back in the wrong places!
- Juggle phone, computer, game cases, and angry customers all at once!
360 achievement: do this while running Windows 95 and the POS program crashes every three transactions.
- HARDCORE mode: play as a female game advisor and add marriage proposals into the mix! (Yeah, seriously, not even kidding.)

I'd like to think that a few people would stop being dicks after playing.

When you ask if it could be turned into a game... remember that there's a John deere game for DS. And Hannah Montana, for chrissakes.

I was usually about one angry customer from a real life version of 'Postal' every waking moment of my life when I was in retail.

whats the old quote? 'You know how dumb the average person is? Now realise half the world is MORE stupid than him'

QFT, there is nothing more stupid and irritating than the person who 'thinks' they know what they want, and why it's your god given duty to get it for them.

HARDCORE mode also works in Male advisor mode. With the added threat of instant GAME OVER from harassment charges.

 

[BlazeTheVampire]

Yeah, the marriage proposals are from the nicer folk.

I've also been pinned to the wall many times, had my breasts grabbed, and even had one threaten to kill my boyfriend.

My manager's tendency to put his hand on my lower back when trying to get my attention is really the least of my worries when I head to work, lol.

I've been punched and yelled at by female colleagues on a daily basis and when I complained, been told that I deserve it anyway. Also been chatted up by some of THE ugliest men/women I've ever seen.

And I'm the one the girls call on when they get in your situation, Blaze.

Face it, retail sucks.

If you replace questing in World of Warcraft with paperwork, then my job and that game are roughly analogous.

 

[the protaginist]

hell,my life could be a video game(s). biking through the hills of pennsylvainia(driving games.this is work too.BIG paper route.)school(a Bully-type game)hanging out with friends(sims-type game)baseball(sports games)occasional paintball game with friends(FPS)

 

[huntedannoyed]

I cant wait to come home from work and then play the game based on my job!

 

[Caimekaze]

I'm a full-time student.
Therefore, yes.

Pizza Delivery: GTA open world driving and ramming competition, combined with Cooking Mama mini games in the Kitchen, and Assassin's Creed style dogding obstacles, dogs, surly Jerks and Muggers...

Lets see I work at a book bindery(blue collar job, unlike most of the pots) the computer which I look at the beginning of a shift says it takes x hours not regarding paper type or hepers available (y factor). We may a math formula to make boring game. I also have a opsenity/non-opsenity ratio to how well a job runs.

 

[reizza]

I uh am a production...artist...Haha. I have to make sure the things we print, business cards, etc look good before I print them. I also do a little design work. However, I could kind of see a game about my job that would involve fighting the vile menace that is the printer. the whole plot would be when I kick the stubborn printer suddenly some magical event makes me all tiny and I have to then navigate my way through the printer's insides to find a way out (and fix it).

It would be a frustrating game with many paper jams.

If making a video games was a great video game, then my brothers game would sell like hotcakes. If someone didn't get that, he makes video games.

Oh it seems I have forgotten to mention my game. Well it would consist of: A) Do nothing for the next 3 hours except watch stupid shows and play some games but with no real commitment. B) After that strenuous task you have to go on the computer and watch pointless videos and post in forums that you'll never even read again. C) Take dump.

Yeah people will be killing for my game. I mean to experience my day for a day. That just screams awesome. /sarcasm
