Strafex Claus was facing a Christmas crisis. Almost everyone seemed to be asking for a PS2 in their stocking. But there simply weren’t enough to go around, and Strafex Claus and his elves just couldn’t afford them (rocket reindeer fuel isn’t cheap you know!) It seemed that there would be a lot of unhappy people this Christmas. Strafex Claus called on his most trusted elf, AfroJoe, for advice. AfroJoe was sure there was an alternative to the Playstation2. In America the Xbox had launched, but just one of those would weigh down Strafex Claus’ sleigh, and there would be no more room in the sleigh for him, let alone other presents! AfroJoe had heard of another solution though. A new Nintendo console called the GameCube. But all those had sold out, where could they get enough for all the people hungry for a new console this Christmas?
AfroJoe found Tiltawhirl, a wise elf that had long been a fan of Nintendo. He asked for the advice of Tiltawhirl, who told him that the only hope was to fly to Nintendo HQ in Japan, and get some of the purple wonder boxes. The three immediately set out for Japan in the sleigh. As they flew through the clouds, Tiltawhirl spotted a form moving towards them. As it grew closer, Strafex Claus recognised it as Rudolf! But he was long in retirement. He sped ever closer, and soon the three could see Rudolf had grown a funny looking beard and was wearing a turban.
“Oh no…” Strafex Claus muttered, “what has happened to him?”
Rudolf had grown bored in his retirement, and had taken up extreme pastimes, such as terrorism. He had now turned himself into a suicide reindeer, trying to end Christmas once and for all.
Antlers down, and rage burning in his eye, Rudolf locked onto his previous owner, and readied for impact. Could anything stop the psychotic reindeer? Suddenly AfroJoe had an idea. He dived into the back seat, and rummaged through last year’s present sack. There were some presents left from last year. While Strafex Claus steered the sleigh, AfroJoe and Tiltawhirl threw the old PSones at the incoming reindeer. A few shattered on his deadly antlers, but then one hit right between the eyes. Rudolf fell from the sky, hitting the ground with a load thud. At this time they had been flying over Egypt, where Cooky was spending his holiday. As he was admiring the pyramids, a reindeer with a beard weary a strange hat fell onto one pyramid, impaling itself on the top point of one pyramid. Strange, Cooky thought as he looked up and saw a sleigh fly past the sky.
As they reached Japan, a bright star guided the three towards Nintendo HQ, and they safely landed on the roof.
“What, no chimney? Asked Strafex Claus.
“This is the modern age! Can’t we just ONCE use a lift?” replied Tiltawhirl.
The three took the lift down to Shigeru Miyamoto’s office, where he was busy simultaneously working on Mario Sunshine, and chatting on the NintyUK web site. He was chatting to a user called Ev][L~Dark who was asking about the ‘short and sweet’ policy adopted by Nintendo recently. Strafex Claus asked if there were any GameCubes for Christmas, and Shigsy replied that there was some stock left over, but it was supposed to be shipping to America for the New Year. Shigsy typed a quick question to Ev][L~Dark. Should he give Strafex Claus some GameCubes? Ev][L~Dark said Shigsy definitely should, because Strafex Claus would deliver them to people world-wide, and this would promote Nintendo even more, and think of all the people it would make happy.
Shigsy decided to let them have the consoles. The GameCubes were so small, 100’s could fit into the sleigh, and they were so cute and colourful, perfect for a Christmas gift. The three flew back, successful in their mission. The crisis was averted, and there would be lots of happy gamers this Christmas!
As Sibs stumbled down the stairs on Christmas morning, he saw a small box under the tree. He checked the label, and his name was on it, so he ripped it open. It was a brand new GameCube! Sibs was ecstatic, and he plugged it all in, carefully placed the Rogue Leader disc in place and fired the system up. All that was displayed was static. He tried again. Nothing. The terrible truth dawned on him. His TV was not NTSC compatible.
“Oh F…” Church bells clanged, as the loudest obscenity since Joseph found out Mary was having a kid (and he hadn’t ‘done the deed’ as it were) was yelled.
