Ever played a game and thought to yourself, "Damn! If only that could happen in real life (IRL)?" I know I have, but to so many things, it's a well known stated fact that games are just a gateway to a new world, a world we WISHED we lived in. Well, I have a few things that if they were in the real world I think we could all agree, life would get a WHOLE lot better.
Sim Chat

They always know what to say, even if we can't understand them.
The Sims are so amazing aren't they? Freedom, fun, family friendly, able to simulate a future family, or just have "fun." ;) So what would happen if we had their ability of chatting? We could walk over to a nearby stranger, and just start up a conversation. First you would just ask about their day, they answer you back, you get to know them better, you gossip, you trade laughs, all good times. Or what if you wanted to play a game with them instead? Just tag them and run away, they'll surely chase you and a game of Tag begins and what also begins is a wonderful relationship.
See a cute girl/guy? Go over and start up the conversation and then when she/he is close to you make her/him "closer" by buttering her/him up. Compliment her/him appearance and personality and then get into the good stuff. Embrace her/him, hold hands, even leap into her/his arms, then finally, when you have enough courage, kiss her. If she/he accepts then jump for joy friend, you have a girl/boyfriend. See how easy that was? Starting up a conversation, getting to know her/him a bit better, then making your moves on her/him. It may be simple to many people in real life but for those shy and scared people this way they can instantly do it. It would be almost as if someone did it for them.
Sure we can already do that but wouldn't it be better if you could do it with no immature people who think too much of $E*, violence, drugs, and other stupid things. Not only that but Sim chatting is when you chat to someone but it's almost like someone is speaking though you, saying all the right things and still having your meaning in it. I don't know about you but if I can get a date without stammering at the cute girl, looking completely clueless, just flat out embarrassing myself, and still retain my meaning of love and affection, I think this would be the way for me to go. Don't you agree?
Jensen's Glasses

It ain't the future if it doesn't have these glasses in it.
I've heard of automatic seat-belts of the future, self lacing shoes, automatic doors, but never in my life did I ever hear or see automatic sunglasses. They are quite possibly the coolest thing in existence, like how do they operate? Do you say glasses down or something? Do you think it? Do you press a button? Does it just do it anytime something cool is about to happen? I don't know but according to Deus Ex: Human Revolution we only have to wait twelve years until we ourselves can get this magnificent contraption that will likely be the selling point of 2023.
Imagine it's a hot day to, the sun is incredibly bright, and your hands are just worthless in covering up the shine. Simply have these puppies on and in no time at all your eyes are safe. Remember those comments about saying some bad pun then the quotation *puts on sun glasses*, well now they literally can put their glasses down when they say that without having to go get their own sun glasses. Want to arrest a criminal while wearing sunglasses, these will make the criminals shove their hands into the handcuffs cause of how dang awesome you are. Want to look cool like Adam Jensen? Sorry, you never will...not without a whole lot of surgeries and voice practice. No one can ever be Adam.
The best part is getting back to the sun thing, you can adjust the darkness settings so that the sunglasses do an even better job of getting rid of the sun's harmful rays. What an awesome pair of glasses! There is like no bad things to them, none! Well...you do kinda have to get them implanted into your skin, and you can never take them off, and it may be a problem showering with electricity strapped to your head but, still. AWESOME! 8)
Bulletstorm's Leash

The future "GET OVER HERE!"
Bulletstorm has invented an interesting little mechanic that no shooter has done before, a leash. This leash allows you to grapple guys towards you, while there is something like that in Just Cause 2, it doesn't slow enemies down when you use it unlike Bulletstorm here. It's simple to use and very effective, grapple an enemy like a neighborhood bully, pull him towards you, and then beat the snot out of him. No you don't kill him, you just beat him up, he's helpless suspended in mid air in front of you, you know you want to do it.
Also, see your girl/boyfriend walking down the street, use the lasso to get her/him over with you and then get into position of catching and saving them. They'll understand your romantic behavior but with skill you could actually trick people into thinking you saved them! Well...anyone who isn't smart would do that, but for romantic purposes the whip can be used well and you and your romantic interest can enjoy the benefits of pulling them towards you for a cuddling, whether they like it or not. :twisted: OK, that's evil but that's what they get if the leash ever comes into our world, don't worry, I'm sure that the leash can allow you to turn off the electricity so not to hurt someone you love.
Oh but why stop at people? See your sandwich in the other room and are too lazy to get it? Use your leash and not only will you have your sandwich but it will be cooked to perfection and you can eat it in mid air! Not only that but you can use it as simple things like rope, falling off a building? Just use the leash to strap you onto something and pull with your might, you shall be saved. Want your cool, awesome, sweet looking, not attached to your head sun glasses? Grab them with the leash and soon your glasses will be in your hand, staticey and awesomey. Not only that but you can open doors with just a flick of your wrist! There are so many possibilities to this leash, but the best one just might be eating a sandwich in mid air. Awesome and epic in every sense of the word.
Bullet Time

It's Bullet Time with Maximum Payne.
Your a cop and being riddled with bullets, just jump out of the way thanks to your new power of bullet time. Just jump and everything slows down, it's that simple! Imagine you walking to work and suddenly a car comes careening towards you and you jump out of the way, you and the truck are now in slow motion and everyone around you is normal and watching that stunning scene wondering if they're in a movie. No, they're in real life watching an epic win from either you or that lucky lawyer that jumped out of the truck speeding down the road.
Oh but there's much more fun that can come from slow-mo jumping. Basketball players could finally catch the ball to score the winning dunk, the goalie could finally grab the ball or kick it away in an amazing display of slow motion, or you could jump and actually catch the bouquet of flowers coming at you when the bride tossed it in the air. All kinds of fun can be had from bullet time, like falling off of a building. Bullet time won't stop until you hit the ground and at the speed you're going that will probably be for about two months. :P
Not only will sports fanatics love it but also you will, too! Don't you hate it when people throw you things and you just can't catch them? Well, don't worry, Bullet Time has you covered. When it snows and Bullet Time is here you know awesomeness will follow, just think, all your friends throwing snowballs at each other and everyone jumping out of the way and in Bullet Time. Best snowball fight evar? You bet your bottom dollar it is. If someone slips and is holding a precious thing of yours like a family picture or even the Christmas turkey then just jump at it and catch it! Also say no while your doing it, the awesomeness will increase by 10 full.
World Wide Multiplayer

MAG: 256 Player Matches. The World: 6 Billion Player Matches.
I think we al know the feeling of hatred when we feel it don't we? Yes we do, we just want to like kill or strangle something. Of course those with brains know we can't actually do that without getting arrested. So we get out Call of Duty or any other multiplayer shooter and kill the other team like crazy, we get the satisfaction of kills and our anger is relieved. A simple idea, but wouldn't it be better if you KNEW you were killing the other person but they didn't die? They just kept respawning at their base. A world wide multiplayer battle area would be just the place for us to be, there could be this building in the center of the world that teleported us onto a team in some other world where you could never die. When you "died" you would just respawn back at your base.
That's something we all want, the ability to kill a person but know that it wasn't really a kill, just a friendly game of Call of Duty or any other multiplayer shooter and know that he will still be alive but you'll still have the satisfaction of his "death." It could also be a good way of having a war, don't go off and actually shoot people, enter into the multiplayer room and choose the side you wish to be on and then duke it out. The losers would have to sign a peace treaty after the match is over agreeing not to attack the areas or countries the winning side says. No death but still war, now how about that? :D
Plus, if you want to fight another player in just a one on one battle then the building of teleportation has that option, too. You and the other player (whether he likes it or not) enter the arena and duke it out in a bloody fashion but remember that it's all good fun, he and you respawn and go at it again. The world could be a better and happier place when the only violence that happens is inside a multiplayer arena where everyone battles it out and while people "die" they don't die. What a world to live in.
Now, if only the world could incorporate 3D into our everyday lives. Oh...wait...we already do. 8)
