Even doing things in real life that you can do in video games are not as fun as the video game version.

Killing people? Not fun in real life. Just leads to guilt...and also prison.

Racing cars? Sure it would be fun...if you could afford it. Way cheaper to play video games, especially if you wreck. Saving money is fun.

Flying a plane? Super stressful in real life, I bet. Not so in video games.

Parachuting? Okay, this may be a tough one to call. But it's still way safer in video games. Being alive is fun.

Playing music? Alright, you've got me there. Sorry, video games. You can't win 'em all!

Breaking up with a video game character is a lot easier than in real life :)

@ahoodedfigure: excellent point!
