Have you ever wondered, what would happen if some of your favorite video games were real? it would be awesome, right? No. It wouldn't be. Take for instance Pokemon. One of the most innocent games ever, supposedly. "But it would be awesome," you say "I'd have a cute little pikachu, and we have adventures and he'd be my best friend XOXOXOX ZOMGSOCUTE!!" I don't think so. First of all, there would be some MASSIVE licensing going on there. I mean, if we have licensing laws for things like handguns, and restrictions on knives and stuff, imagine for a second if there were little rodents running around with the power to turn anyone into a smoking crater. You want a pet growlithe or arcanine? Ok, that's just a 5 month waiting period, and a $4,000 license fee to take home that minature weapon of mass destruction. and then pokemon that can tear a person's mind apart with thier own? Forget it. The closest you'd ever come to seeing a psychic type would be on a tv show. Not to mention all those pokemon who like to... I don't know? Eat souls? A ride on a bike down the road would be like playing paper boy. Except all the people are pokemon. Trying to kill you. And the tornado is from a pokemon. And death is still death.

Nice blog mate, i've always imagined the same thing.
ReplyDeleteNow, if only FF was real, then i'd have a nice chat with Kafka :D
Huh. Never thought of it that way.
ReplyDeletewell maybe later on I'll do one about final fantasy. I've always wondered what it would be like to be one of the normal people in an RPG where people ran around making fire and supermassive explosions from nothing. Golden Sun ALWAYS made me think about that.
ReplyDeleteI wish Mario were real. Then I'd have an excuse to be an overweight plumber that eats shrooms. Following good sir.
ReplyDeleteI like to think about what if chocobos were real. Not just any chocobos, Final Fantasy Tactics chocobos. The crazy ones that can launch fire, energy balls, and meteors. It would suck to run into one of those on a camping trip.
ReplyDeleteBut would the fire ones already taste like buffalo chicken? It could open up a brand new type of wing culture... Hot wings, but without any mess! But then again, it's the sauce that's the best part, no?
