[ WP ] There is now a virtual reality video game which is as realistic as reality .

Frank removed the helmet from his head as the lights came back on in the small room. He had reached a good stopping point in his VR game and decided to take a break. In the game, Frank played a successful real estate agent named Steve whose life was getting better and better. He just finished closing a deal that solidified his pending promotion to Vice President for the company. Outside the game, Frank worked a desk job crunching numbers and spent each day wishing he was back home doing whatever he felt like, even if it was playing some character that made him feel a bit more fulfilled and impactful. 
 
 Frank stepped out of the small room and, realizing he was thirsty, walked to his fridge to get a soda. He looked out of his window to the building just an arms length away. He could see partially into the apartment across the way but nothing interesting was ever going on. 
 
 Suddenly, Frank heard a loud screech and then everything went dark. 
 
 Dave removed the helmet from his head as the lights came back on in the small room. His VR game had crashed and needed a few minutes to reboot. In the game, Dave played a character named Frank who lived a remarkably realistic but admittedly boring life. After taking a break, Dave wondered if the game had gotten so realistic that it was no longer the escape from reality he wanted.
