What if Real Life were more like CoH?

What I'm thinking of specifically here is the ability we have in-game to right click on another hero/villain/alignment-confused character and select Info. How cool would it be if you could do that in real life? See their "badges" and "powers" and the like?

Hmmm... well... maybe it wouldn't be ENTIRELY cool..

* "Why am I dating him? He's got Stamina, Quick Recovery AND Rise to the Challenge... why WOULDN'T I date him?!"

* "Bob... we're here for your intervention... seriously dude... the only Day Job badge you have is Tony's Bar..."

* "You got into another fight at school today, didn't you Billy? Don't bother lying either buster... I'll just look at your PvP stats and learn the truth."

* "You didn't know I had them put an exploration badge at the entrance of Wild Willy's Woo-Hoo Strip Club, did you? You are SO busted!"

* "No, Miss Reynolds we won't be hiring you for the position. Yes, your resume is very impressive... strange how you list all these office skills on it yet your powers menu only lists the Gossiping Primary with the Blame Co-Workers defensive secondary..."

* "Ron I really think you're taking this badge-hunting thing a little too seriously... yes, I KNOW they've instituted an 8 badge per city zone base line but really... do you have to get them from EVERY CITY?!"

* "No, I don't think Harold will ever ask me to marry him... he has a problem with commitment... he's earned the Come Full Circle badge three times over..."

* "No, Bob, I don't think 'conquests of the female variety' should count towards a Defeat badge... No, I don't think there should be a Gigilo Day Job badge, either..."

* "How do I know Margaret doesn't know about my affair with Wendy? Because every time I go home I sneak up and look in a window... click on Marge... as long as she hasn't earned the 'Hell Hath No Fury' badge... I go inside..."

* "Yeah, I think Marcie and I are through... she just respecced into the 'Terminal Headache' tier 8 defense power..."

* "I noticed I'm not mentioned in your Description... Well, gee... I don't now why that would upset me... I mean... we've only been married for 15 years!!"

I'd mish TP to work everyday, thus saving hundreds of minutes a week.

oh, and first after SC

EDIT: just to add, *honey, leaving your repel power on isn't the greatest form of contraception*

It would bring a literal meaning to "quick hop to the store".

I would say "nuts to driving, I'm grabbing my travel power!"

I think we might also all bemoan the loss of our cars as they apparently begin to drive around themselves, aimlessly. Thank god the Public transportation would become more reliable, free, AND almost instantaneous!

"Don't worry, dude, she's oblivious to your crush on her; she's missed every Tip she's ever gotten!"

Real life has nipples. CoH does not. I will never allow real life to be like CoH!

*random heroes/villains sneak up to Dark_Respite and furtively hand her cash*

"Okay, soooooo... it's me AND Swan AND Sister Psyche... right... in the Penthouse Apartment map... uh huh... and you said you could modify measurements? Anywhere? I am so set..."

Nightclub Bouncer: Sorry can't let you in. 25+ only

YAY! Always wanted to jump off the Grand Canyon and live to tell about it! (So long as there aren't any Trolls or Igneous down there.)

Wonder what they'd think at work if I had the flaming eyes aura.

I'd probably be one of those crappy Empathy defenders who didn't bother taking any powers from my Sonic Attack secondary.


Those are totally my actual powersets, btw.

... and Wall Street is again in chaos after the discovery of yet another Las Vegas Exploit....... and in other news, the TSA has announced the deployment of a new "Alignment Scanner" in airports nationwide.....

I did experience a CoH-like moment in RL a while ago.

Took a trip to DC with some relatives. Staying in a hotel near a Metro station; with the intent of taking the metro to visit the Smithsonian. The group left the hotel. Partway there, I realized I'd forgotten the camera back in the room, so I ran back, got it, and then ran like mad to catch up before they got on the train. While I was wishing I had Superspeed, that wasn't the CoH moment.

The CoH moment was when I turned off the sidewalk a little too soon. Ran smack into the inside corner of a bus stop shelter.

What happened to Thug_Three?

I would totally open up a massage/chiropractic office. With so many women having ginourmous back-breakers and heels? I'd be raking in the cash PLUS there'd always be heroines in the office so I'd never get robbed.
