Everyday stuff = realism

Hmm, I'd love to see more games include aspects of 'realism'. Not so much trying to be real, but to add -details- that make the world seem like our world with the same sorts of problems. Ie. You get in a truck to go to town. It is a country road. And the exhaust is really smoky, and the are some nasty potholes that bump you about. (Haven't we all seen hundreds of games where the cars don't backfire or pollute the environment?. This is a road in the middle of nowhere, it isn't going to be well-maintained). Or when you deal with bureaucracy, you need to fill in three copies of a form (done in a quick cut-scene). They also want a passport photograph and a urine test! (Ie. This provides a humorous reference to real-life red-tape.) Anyway I'd love to see more of this humorous / sad everyday "details" that often get left out.
