If video game skill translated into real life, what job would be best and worst for you?

[You_have_a_name]

[GrinningManiac]

Evil Genius/Pyromaniac/Director/Conquistador/Colonist/Monarch/General/Zookeeper/GOD

 

[jackbriggs18]

Immortal Totalitarian Monarch responsible for the deaths of billions of innocent human souls.

Civ IV

or

Crash test dummy

Any game with any vehicles in it.

 

[A random person]

I'd probably be a good detective or maybe pilot, and very poor spy (other than this one round, I'm a bad spy in TF2, and was hilariously stupid in Metal Gear Solid).

 

[SirRiffAlot]

I guess I'd be an amazing lawyer and a skillful dragon slayer.

 

[Zombie Izzard]

I'd be really good taking down evil corporations or being an assassin.

 

[SimuLord]

Best jobs: Chief Financial Officer of any corporation you could name, past or present (q.v. my skill at Capitalism II, the Patrician/Port Royale series, and Koei's Aerobiz games), city planner (SimCity and every game in its genre), or generic magic-user type (Morrowind/Oblivion). Defensive player on a football team (Madden/NCAA Football).

Worst jobs: Anything requiring stealth (Metal Gear Solid series), driving around shooting/killing people (Grand Theft Auto, the entire FPS genre), or cooperating with other real live humans (the entire MMORPG genre and multiplayer in general). Games I suck at are noted.

 

[Lord Thodin]

id be a very good sniper, a great grunt soldier, or the CEO of a fortune 500 company.

based on CoD4, Gears of War, and Starcraft, Warcraft and Overlord

 

[MicrosoftPaysMe]

assassin, Spartan/ODST, Third Echalon spy (see logo), and Wastlander/Vault dweler/Whatever you are in Fallout 3

 

[wannawanna23]

I'd be... a great.... Bejeweled?????? lol Is that like a Jewel Thief?
Or id also be a good... jedi... Ya...

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

Id be an amazing Battle Mage, a pretty good commando, or a nuclear fallout survivor who kills mutant bears with his bare hands.

 

[RavingPenguin]

Id make a great Armored Core pilot. Or a Ninja, but prefferebly the first one.

Im not so hot at, umm... surving in fallout? I seriously cant find a game Im terrible at.

 

[Stormz]

I would be horrible at commanding an army.

I would do good as a sword fighting adventurer or an assassin.

 

[Ozkilla]

I would be excellent at surviving after coming out of a vault after nuclear fallout . A great Pilot driver and soldier .

Bad Architect, and worse at looking after myself >.<

 

[OneBig Man]

I would be an awsome engineer. And by that I mean a persom who runs around with a shotgun and so happens to be able to build and repair stuff. Either that or professional racer/stunt driver.

Iwould be a terrible ninja.

 

[War Penguin]

I would be a good Jedi (KotOR) and/or swordsman (Zelda) but be a bad driver (every racing game).

 

[Insert Comedy Here]

Battle Strategist, or sniper.

Adversely, I wouldn't be able to do anything that involves too much heavy running, lifting, throwing, bending, stretching and no drinking.

 

[Librarian Mike]

Great topic!

Well, if there were an alien/zombie invasion, I'm the guy you'd want leading the resistance (Half Life, Beyond Good and Evil, L4D). I'm pretty good in a fight, and my puzzle solving skills are not bad either.

Certainly one job I wouldn't be good for is an engineer, as evidenced by my absolute uselessness at Tetris.
