After a point there's chaffing and muscle fatigue, and it's possible to cum blood from overuse.
Thinking of life as a game is a brilliant way to think about existence. Just don't wind up like this kid (emphasis in bold is my own).
Devin Moore (born Devin Darnell Thompson on 15 May 1985) is a criminal from Alabama who sparked a large controversy over the video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
Moore was apprehended several hours later in Mississippi. According to the Associated Press, after his recapture he said, "Life is a video game. Everybody's got to die sometime." Once in custody, Moore quickly confessed. He told detectives that he shot the men because he didn't want to go to jail.
The controversy involving his relation to Grand Theft Auto was revealed during an episode of 60 Minutes in March 6, 2005. In the episode a student demonstrated Grand Theft Auto to them, showing them the adult nature of the game. Moore, who had recently graduated from high school, had never been in trouble before. He had enlisted in the air force and was due to leave for service at the end of the summer.
Moore faced trial in 2005 and pleaded not guilty. The trial judge barred the defense from introducing evidence to the jury that Grand Theft Auto incited Moore's shooting spree. Moore's attorney, Jim Standridge, contended that Moore was suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder at the time of the crimes. Standridge argued that Moore had been emotionally and physically abused by his father as a child.
In August 2005, Moore was convicted as charged and on October 9, 2005 he was sentenced to death by lethal injection. Jim Standridge appealed the case.
Grand Theft Auto always struck me as a parody of itself. It surprises me that people can claim to take that series beyond it's 2D renditions seriously.
GTA: Vice City seemed more ironic than usual. That inspiring murder to me translates to anything being capable of causing that epiphany.
Video games from personal experience don't tend to make people violent...unless the people are already on the verge of violence, in which case virtual violence can be a trigger. What he says does make sense in a way though, does it not? "Life is a video game, everybody's gotta die sometime." I guess GTA was a good model for how he wanted his life to end.
Maybe I'm missing the point here, but why does Bob want to become religious if he already acknowledges that life is a game?

As for the topic, stress is good in the right doses. Without stress you can't enjoy things like Roller Coasters and your fight/flight instincts would be stunted.
Think you're confusing stress with adrenaline. I've always thought of them as quite different things.
The sad thing is, it doesn't matter if we're in a game or not. If we're not in a game, we're still free to do whatever. If we do something in the game that is currently punished, we will be punished.
Does it matter if we're watched by God or the game creator? The game creator's intelligence is far beyond our reach anyway.
Did the game creator ever get into the game and speak to us on our terms? Then he must've had endless patience because if anyone with true human patience saw what the people in the game do, he'd be pissed off and beat the hell out of us.
But that is kind of what happens in the end of the Bible. God has enough and destroys the world.
Still I think Vedic scriptures correspond better with quantum physics.
