I remember as a child watching ludicras (sp) cartoons that were made by Americans or the Japanese and I always remember my dad saying:
" What is that? Its ridicolous, I'm sure whoever did that was on drugs. "
For years I remember just ignoring the ejjit (silly chap). Then just there when I was thinking about something I thought this could apply to games as well.
Think about Nintendo... their mascot a fat Itailien plumber called Mario... YOU WHAT?. Who the hell thought that up?
I'm sure they locked themselves in a room and had a bit of the wacky baccy. There just seems no reason I can think why they thought it would be successful... okay so it was I guess with the moron population but come on it just seems ridicolous.
Then Sega..
" Right Lads, we need a mascot, something to compete with that plumber bloke. Roll Up and write down some ideas. "
Then the only one who has seen a hedgehog says:
" Boss I have a great idea... get this european rat thing, make it blue and have spikey hair and make it run fast "
" Great Idea Jimmy McPot ".
Come on... look at this. The gaming industry is massive and these two massive companies make a mascot and invest millions into an idea like that... sounds very dodgy so I am right and all you people shouting at me saying it was a work of genius... shut up.
So there we have the marajuana mascots. What about the acidic game ideas.
Have you ever seen screen one of those Japanese cartoons? All those half-naked Western woman jumping around with lots of bright endless flashing with no meaning... well that reminds me of Final Fantasy... it just acid written all over it.
I'm trying to think of more examples and I'm sure there are many more. I don't really care if I have offended anyone with my theory and my brief knowledge of drugs, but if you think is it really that far off.
It wouldn't surprise me... and anyway for all you lovers of Mario and Sonic it cheered your stupid faces up.
So I think thats me finished:
And kids don't go and take drugs in the hope you'll meet Mario, you probably would but imagine having a flashback when your 30 of a fat, Itailien plumber or a bad trip involving Sonic.
Thank you and goodnight.

What PS2 ad?
Speaking of that PS2 ad...
Taken from Empire magazine. Interview with David Lynch, just spotted it mysteriously.
-------------
Empire:
Your first two features were in black and white, and rumour has it you initially considered shooting Lost Highway in monochrome, to heighten the film noir sensibility.
David Lynch:
No. Some films are black and white films and som films are colour films. They tell you pretty much straightaway. I love black and white, but Lost Highway wouldn't work in black and white just like The Elephant Man wouldn't work in colour.
Empire:
You know your ad for PlayStation 2 is black and white...
David Lynch:
No it's not.
Empire:
Yes it is. You filmed it in colour, but it was only shown in black and white.
David Lynch:
Really?
Empire:
Really. How do you feel about that?
David Lynch:
I do not feel good. It's supposed to be in colour. You see, there's a total disregard... Once they have it, they do what they want. And if that happened in film, then I'd have to quit making films.
-----------
Interesting, to say the least. I wonder what it would have looked like in colour?

One of my favorite ever PSX games (which I still have) is Bishi Bashi Special. Now whoever designed that one MUST have been smoking something strange.....
I reckon most of Nintendos ideas originally came from a bad Acid trip.
Heh, what a look on life.
I bet all those PS2 ad's were made by people smoking dope :o)
I can see the headlines
"Shigsy smokes dope!" :-D
