Of course.
I was somewhat serious in my comment though. It makes sense to me as a valid translation, but I honestly couldn't tell you if it would make sense to normal people. Do normal people look on their lives or some subset of it as a game? Or is it mainly a Scn-type thing?

I think it's a Scn. thing.
I'm in the cornfields of the Midwest in a Christian farming community. The people that I know do NOT think of life as a game. . . .except possibly in the sense of the best-selling book "If Life is a Game, These are the Rules". Here life is viewed as a testing ground for worthiness in God's Kingdom and is anything but a game.
But I grew up in a very liberal University town, and those people didn't see life as a game either. It was pretty serious business to make your mark on the world through your intellectual pursuits or, if not that, your activism.
But, recently movies like the "Matrix" and that new one "Avatar -- even the "Truman Show" are much more "game-like" in their outlook, so maybe things are changing.

"Before you can shatter suppression, you have to confront it. TR O

"You've tried the red pill, for a REAL game, take the blue; get out of the Matrix.

(A lot of Scientologists think the Matrix is an allegory to Scientology vs. the World; twist that back around somehow).
I'm having trouble coming up with a good game one. Sorry. I'll keep working on it.
