You have all seen behind the music if not then read on just for a laugh. This is similar except this time it is behind the game. It's all done for fun and a laugh so don't take it serious, it is not true. Don't say I didn't warn you. Now its time to turn to laughing mode and hopefully entertain you.
So who is first? Mario is probably the first character to make it big in the industry so why not start with him.
Mario
Mario has been around for quite some time, but how and why for such a long time? It is because he is good at what he does but there are a lot of things that you don't know about him that will shock you, if you feel such information could damage you mentally then stop reading now as what you are about to read may shock you!
Mario was born like any normal everyday Italian boy, his childhood was normal until he was around the age of six, with his little brother Luigi he would be locked away in a room while his father would take the family money and go to the local pub, when he came home he would be aggressive towards his mother and on occasions to Luigi and Mario.
Mario has spent time in jail, rehab clinic and currently is seeking new age therapy to help control his numerous problems, he was caught in
possession of drugs and beating his wife (yes its true he is a wife beater), which could possibly be, traced back to his parent's behaviour most definitely his father. Sadly he has also said that at certain times in life he had indeed considered taking his own life but due to the help of his brother Luigi and some Irish bloke called Paddy, he has kicked the drugs (well apart from the beer) and is talking a new approach to life. He isn't actually a plumber, darn good fraud master maybe but no plumber, Luigi is though and sometimes is required to help his brother in times of need. He is now concentrating more on making games and trying to teach others of the correct way to live their lives. Why do you think winners don't do drugs was used at the end of some games?
Lara Croft
Her life has been plastered all over the news and some rather saucy pics have been pasted all over the web. There isn't much more to tell other than the "real" truth. From an early age she didn't really have a good relationship with her parents, they were always to busy for her. She was brought up by her nanny and butlers and maids which could be the reason why to this day she has not found a true love. Lara was expelled from her private school, something which has been kept secret up until now, she was caught smoking and sneaking boys into her dorm at night. But with the donations from her father she easily found work and now travels the world in search for old things that need to be dug up and rescued from caves. Another one of daddy's excuses of getting rid of her for a while then. Having recently been killed of in her latest game caused quite a stir amongst young (acne ridden) teenagers so the developers decided to bring her back, which not only keeps her in a job but keeps her away from daddy. Rumour is her daddy bribed the company to take her back.
Sonic
There is a lot of missing information about this speedy little guy but now I can exclusively reveal to you some of this missing information. Why is he so fast? Why is he blue? How can he afford such stylish trainers?
It took some time to gather this information but recently I found out that Sonic hasn't always been the good little hedgehog we know and like (well some like him). Sonic like Mario has also spent time inside the slammer, actually both for similar crimes except Sonics was a little more serious in that he was the one supplying Mario with those strange mushrooms. He stashed a lot of his cash which now allows him to live this life of luxury. After he was released it is reported that he had people teach Mario a lesson for grassing him in, which is now why the two don't really see eye to eye. It wasn't until he was again asked by Sega to try and be a children's favourite that he decided to take life a bit more normally, having no family or real friends (just people who fear him and his goons) he just now wants to try live like any other normal blue hedgehog does (In a science lab?)
Solid Snake
He is known to most as the character in the best game ever. Saving the world and getting the girl. Boys and men want to be him and the girls want to be with him. Well that is up until now. We reveal the dirt on one of the world's best characters.
As we all know he and his evil brother were engineered. But very little is known about his childhood before he joined the army (military, special forces, whatever he does) Not long after his birth he was adopted by an elderly couple, his brother was separated from him and he grew up as a lonely child. At a young age his only toys were GI-Joe and action man although he would rather play with the girl next doors
Barbie's. He was bullied a lot at school and at college he turned to drink to "ease his troubles". His parents passed on and left the house and their belongings to him along with information on his adoption, using the money and house he managed to get his life back into control and decided to sign up for the army. We cannot confirm any rumours about snake and which side of the fence he sits on, he says he is a ladies man and I believe him. He recently returned to a high school reunion were he was arrested for violent behaviour after six of his old classmates left in ambulances as he left he muttered the words "ahh revenge is sweet". Not only is he serving time in a military compound (Hey maybe he will join the A-Team!) but he is also looking to further his education by learning to write poetry (ladies man, you sure?)
Now for a little insight into the consoles, stuff you didn't know, as they didn't want to tell you. Lets start with the PS2.
PS2 (Or to Ninty's Piece of poo, gaystation 2)
To some it looks like a black radiator or a strange object from an unknown planet but to all Sony fans it is a magical box that does wonderful things. The noise is actually made by a large fan which is turned by a hamster in a wheel, if your PS2 develops faults it may require not only technical assistance but also the delicate hands of a trained veterinary student. Pieced together by some of the finest technicians and experts makes this console great for making games but unfortunately it doesn't make toast as some people claimed.
GameCube
GameCube (Or to Sony fans the GayCube, Nintardo GameCube) This small box (its not a CUBE!!!) was made by tiny people from a far off planet, using their small components and great knowledge they managed to make this tiny console . Not long after they were bought by the monopoly known to all as Microsoft. Now monkeys repair and put the finishing touches to the console before they get released. Claims that the GameCube can be used as a weapon and swung around the head have been shot down by Nintendo as they claim 99% of their buyers can't lift it and can't even spell weapon. No dangers there then.
X-Box
X-Box (No silly name required -already got one)
This one is huge, why so big? Well the tiny people who created the parts for the GameCube actually live inside it, that's right inside every X-Box is a team of trained engineers to fix the numerous bugs and faults. They get paid for there trouble and when it eventually breaks down beyond repair then when you take it to get fixed the small people are removed and sent back to their home planet. Your X-box is then given a little tidy up before the new family of tiny people enter to again do as the previous occupants did. If you can lift one then it could indeed look good in front of your TV (that's if you can see over it to see your TV).
Well that's enough for now I suppose, hope some of you actually enjoyed it.

WHat the hell 4? Bub and Bob in Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Islands did absolutely wicked as they were released on about 5 machines and they even made an arcade version. It was really really hard unless you had cheats enabled. Thie idea of Bubble Bobble was to encase enemies in bubbles and then burst them to save you dear beloved mother. Rainbow Islands was where you had to climb up rainbos up about 30 levels and defeat some really hard bosses. Again you needed cheats, but this time the characters looked like people and you had to save your girlfriend - check out the re-release on PSX.
Mind you, Bust-A-Move did rather suck.
