Radiation is great. Three-eyed fish, green-glowing monkeys, even flying rats! There's an endless supply of mutations waiting to happen with radiation, and I think it's about time it leaked into the video game industry.
So, instead of writing some dodgy post about how radiation WOULD affect Characters, I'm going to write about how radiation HAS affected gamers themselves. Yay, and all that.
So, radiation. Let's get down to business. Probably most famous for weapons (Namely Plutonium and Uranium grade) radiation has caused many a disaster/energy supply/three-eyed fish. So, if we are able to harness radiation to create power, or to use it to work out the age of fossils, why can't we evolve gamers with it?
Fairly obviously, the first mutation that was waiting to happen was an extra pair of hands. Imagine, these lucky people who decided to take a bath in Uranium get to play Metroid Prime, while simultaneously eating, or perhaps doing homework. However, there are a few complications, namely lack of eyes.
Which brings me to mutation number two. A new set of eyes. This means you could play Metroid Prime AND Metroid Fusion at the same time. Well, if your brain could handle it. So I guess that means an extra brain is needed, then.
See, radiation is fun. Take, for example, average Gamer Barry. Now, Barry here has quite a predicament. His shiny new Xbox has just arrived, and he wants to play Halo. Unfortunately for him though, his Mum says he has to do revision. So what does Barry do? Why, he decides it would be fun to play with Plutonium rods, of course!
After a week or so, Barry notices that he now has heat beams emanating from his eyes. Not helpful to his situation, but at least he can roast a chicken in a few seconds…
A month passes, and finally some results. A new pair of hands! Oh, the fun that could be had with these *cough*. Then, the eyes started to appear. "Just in time!" said Barry, as he switched his Xbox one, and whilst running around with an Assault rifle, he was also learning the tangents.
But it didn't stop there, no. Doing both tings at the same time was such a strain on Barry's simple mind. He couldn't cope with the high level of brainpower needed to supply both tasks. However, radiation saved the day once again, and he developed an Egg-shaped head, through swelling of the brain. Now he was super smart too!
Unfortunately, we visited Barry a year on, and he had become nothing more than a radioactive genius, too smart for this world. Pursuing greater tasks, more knowledge and a bigger version of Lord of the Rings, Barry built an inter-dimensional portal, capable of spanning both worlds. Unfortunately, he died of food Poisoning.
Shame, really.
Lesson learned: Never eat at BeefEater. Or play with radiation, for that matter.

In the 2 days you spent writing your GAD attempt you could have went out, got a job, and bought a game with your earnings. Just a little advice.
Only bother doing long GAD attempts if you have fun writing them.

Why did this win?
I spent 2 days solid writing my GAD attempt and THIS beat it!
This is the biggest pile of.... moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan... it's all a fix, stupid thing!

Thanks. I like doing shorter posts once in a while, gives a bit of variety.
Unlike some people...

Hurray for Barry and his Radiationally mutated abilities.
But I like to play with the microwave - will I get extra hands?
And speaking of extra hands, I bet MWA would like that....
*ahem*
Good, short post my friend.
