Video games.

[saa_sadist]

It's come to my attention that in other worlds/dimensions/etc. people indulge in these interactive "electronic video games" modeled after the events of, well, my life. Or at least, those parts of my life that involve the man (or maybe men, I should say) known as Snake

...Suddenly, very glad that self does not have videogame.

[saa_sadist]

I hear that the player can shoot me in these games. When I'm unconscious.

And it's only small consolation that s/he will get a game over for it.

*shrug*

Game is not life, Life is not game.

More important things to worry about. Try to make sure that your compatriots get a piece of merchandise featuring you, though. Would be powerful focus for magics and such.

[saa_sadist]

What? Like voodoo? Now that's a thought. Snake dolls are a dime a dozen...

Not that I believe in that shit, but it might be a feasible loophole in this "non-violence field". That, and I'm bored out of my goddamn mind.

I find it tremendously eerie. On the other hand I found one of the games I was in useful, because it's set in the future.

[saa_sadist]

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. But insight into the future only left my right hand feeling really tingly.

[engelkith]

Well, that doesn't do you much good. Did you like your portrayal? In two of them my appearance is fairly accurate, but in two others I'm pictured as butt ugly.

[saa_sadist]

They got me pretty well dead-on. They were a little off on some of the gunplay, but hey, they can't be expected to reproduce such skill. *grins cockily*

I was a little shocked to get a glimpse of my "future self", though. I never imagined I'd have a mustache...*rubs his upper lip thoughtfully*

[pogo_boy]

I... heard something about video games, but... I haven't looked for them. I don't think I really want to see that.

[saa_sadist]

Good thinking.

Curiosity got the better of me, though. One of these days that's probably going to get me in trouble...

[pogo_boy]

At least they get a game over for shooting you...

[saa_sadist]

But they also have the option to loot my body and drag it around at their whim.

No honor at all.

[just_stu]

Luckily, nobody would wanna play a game about me...I don't fink...

[saa_sadist]

Hell, you never know with the filthy losers that spend all day playing these worthless things.

[just_stu]

It'd be an awfully boring game!

[saa_sadist]

Maybe that's part of the game -- surviving the boredom without being reduced to tears.

[htownshend]

*sighs, shaking his head* Eerie's not the word for it.

[saa_sadist]

What then? Have you got a particularly good horror story?

[htownshend]

*almost smirks* 'Good'? Uh...have you ever heard of Silent Hill?

[saa_sadist]

The name's come up before, yes. Can't say I've looked into it, though. It sounds like some kind of retirement home.
