Things you are good at in games, but (probably) not in real life.

I'm a pretty good shot in games, but have terrible aim in real life. You'd think having good aim in games would improve that at least a little bit, but nope, it doesn't
In games I can also shoot fireballs out of my hands...still working on that one

All of Assasins' Creed. I can't run on roof tops or take 20 guys on in a sword fight and come out with barely a scratch. Luckily though I am a much better driver in real life than in videogames or I would never drive, ever.
Lighting an enemy on fire, airblasting them back on a set path, then hitting them with a flare that kills them instantly. I have a feeling I'm not good at that in real life. Though if anyone wants to volunteer to let me try it on them, I'm ready.
Well Im gonna charge straight in with the simple but true: Murdering tones of dudes. Whether its the enemies of America in CoD, Aliens in Resistance or just slaughtering a whole town for fun in Skyrim I will always go out of my way to rack up the most impressive body-count i can.
I suspect (or maybe i hope) that I wouldnt be very good at that in real life...

Having played Wii sports a few times, I've found I can bowl and play golf great on the console, but in real life... I'm a deal less talented.
Also as already said, I can't go for days without food or using the bathroom.

Archery and shooting long distance rifles. My aim isn't very steady on account of not shooting very often, and archery-wise it's never been my strong suit. Shotguns on the other hand...I'm probably better with a real shotgun than I am with a game shotgun, on account of a real shotgun having much tighter spread and longer range than a game shotgun.
I would think that I'm better at fighting, killing, and being more persuasive in videogames than in RL. I've never trained in any fighting skill, never had to kill anyone (but I'm sure I'd break down in tears if I did), and I have a hard time thinking on my feet.
I can't drive, so that's out...
Uh, romance. Someone said it up there somewhere and it's so hilariously true.
And Kung Fu. Try as I might, I just can't manage to do a triple flip kick off of a 3 story flight of stairs. Sad, I know.

I cannot single-handedly lead armies to battle, take down gargantuan creatures, while climbing them, make all the ladies want my +69 Staff of Penetration or kill hundreds of goons without breaking a sweat IRL.
Yeah, real life sucks.

I was going to say mind based magic, but then I realised I enjoy messing with heads whenever I get the chance, and I'm pretty good at that in real life. Uh, Idealism. In games, I always play an idealist first, whenever it's allowed. Real life? I'm not a jerk but I'm hardily that idealistic. Swordfighting is another thing. Can't do it myself, but in games, oh man. And a third would be swimming through waters filled with monsters. Me? I have an unnatural fear of crabs.
Piloting jets. In Battlefield 1943 I was in the top 100 best fighter pilots in the world.
In the real world, being a pilot was always something I desperately wanted. It was my childhood dream. Alas, I am colour-blind, and my vision is less than 20/20, so I legally wouldn't be allowed to fly anything. I'm pretty thankful that videogames exist for reasons like this - the awesome things I can't do in real life for whatever reason, I can at least experience to some small degree in a game.

Well im lot better at fighting in games mainly thanks to my awesome chain combos,links and special moves in RL I can fight but my hadoken dosent work very well and my other moves arent as cool either also coming back to life possibly, I havent tried it yet though maybe I have that skill in RL too BRB...................................................
Jogging non-stop wherever I'm going. Seriously, I get tired watching them sometimes. And the whole magic thing - not too great at that.
