GAMES MAKE ME SAY STRANGE THINGS
(Posted 2004-11-02 17:36:40 by basscomm)

Video games are known for puttng the characters in some... well, let's just
call them improbable situations. When people ask me for help, I find myself
putting words together in ways that, taken out of context, might make me
sound like I've been eating too much paint.

Here are some examples (I'll give you some bonus points if you can name the
games they're from):


*  "First, defeat the Ninja beating up the old man, then take his money to
the pizza delivery man in the sewer to get the pizza."

*  "Throw the turnip at the fish."

*  "Before you go up the stairs, get the pork chop in the wall." 

*  "You can kill that ghost by throwing a hammer at it."

*  "It _is_ possible to ride the snakes to the top of the room, but it's
not easy."

*  "Right after you go through the parking garage, there's a lady on an
awning that wants to go to the Tennis Court."

*  "You'll have to use your hammer to clear out a section of forest."

*  "When he winks at you, punch him in the face to get a star."

*  "If you give him some dried meat, he'll join your party."

*  "All you have to do is type the words that appear on the zombie's chest
to kill it."



And the list just keeps going. This is just the tip of the iceberg.  As
long as the people who make games insist on putting the characters into
these bizarre situations, I'm stuck trying to describe them to people while
simultaneously trying to make myself _not_ look like a huge dork... If such
a thing is possible.

Also there is always the advice around the SMB games
"Just eat the red mushroom and you'll grow really big."
That one might actually get you arrested if the wrong person hears it!
