Video games are fun

Here's a great thing in video games.  The borders of objects in videos games never real.  That is to say, things will very often "phase" through each other.  They don't act as true physical objects because they aren't!  I have no idea how it technically works, but you can end up with some pretty crazy results.  Like this one!




Do people actually play sports games?  Who knows.
Along with having non-existent borders, objects in video games also have no internal mass.  They are simply hollow.  If you were to walk inside of a rock, you can see the edge of the rock, then simply nothing.  Most of the time, you'll simply stare out the other side, as if it didn't exist at all.
I was reflecting this fact the other day.  Here's a poem based on this idea!

Protagonist
Do you like video games?
I like video games.
You are like the characters in my video games.
You are strong
Fast
Cunning
You can jump from rooftops
Leap across gorges
Shrug at explosions.
You, like my favorite character
have no fear.  You see danger and laugh.
You face the odds, smile at death.
Crack a joke at the perfect moment.
You save the world.  The galaxy.  The universe.
You shrug off bullets, knives and shrapnel.
How can you be so brave?
How can you be so incredible?
How can you kill that creature with such impunity?
You are like the characters in my video games.
And like them, you are hollow.
Empty.
You are a shell.  A wire frame comprised of pixels, textures and fabricated back story.
You are spineless, mass-less.
Empty.
I see through you.
You are like the characters in my video games.
You are not there for me.
