You've all heard the news - if you haven't where on earth have you been? It's been all over the major news channels, all over the internet and a program on games network which showed partially naked women was stopped for a 5 minute interval because of it. Early this morning reports broke out of a huge Godzilla - like creature rising out of the sea off the shores of Japan. Many of the locals thought it was just a re-enactment of the monster movies of old even doing bad lip synching to pay tribute to it. As time grew on, however, it became blatantly obvious that the massive lizard was there to do one thing and one thing only - kill the games industry.
The creatures objective became clear when he targeted a single Gameboy Advance playing youth out of a crowd of thousands, picked him up and stole the hand-held. Eye Witnesses say that the monster actually looked at the Gameboy Advance cartridge before screaming and pummeling the world beating portable console into a building, which instantly fell apart. After looking around to see that everyone had seen his strength, he rubbed his hand and quietly wrapped bandages around it.
The mutant later moved onto a Tokyo highstreet and searched out game shops, of which most of he destroyed - strangely, all the ones which had models of Super Happy Go-Go Bot of Smile Town, the latest craze in Japan, were left. Some think it is coincidence, but the internet is strife with rumours of Stretton, which was revealed as the monsters name only minutes ago, is, in fact, a worker for the Kind Joy Joy Factory. Nothing has been confirmed, but Stretton has been spotted sporting the company logo and signing the companies legendary 'Smile for Tomato betters' tune.
The gaming world is, as you would expect, in shock, and all 3 major companies have reacted in there own different ways. Sony acted quickest and offered a peace deal, which seemed very popular with the people without actually offering the onster that much. Microsoft offered the monster a $300,000,000 contract for a game, and Rare have already started work on it. The project looks to be ones of Rare's quickest ever to capitalise on the publicity of the monster, and is slated for a 2007 release date. Nintendo have re-released Godzilla Destroy all Monsters Melee to include Stretton. This new, improved version of the game has been hailed by critics as revolutionary and ground-breaking, with US and Japanese sales going through the roof. A European release date is still uncertain.
TV comapnies hae also been trying to make money out of this too, with ITV trying to get an interview lined up with him, although Martin Bashir has declined to take it, claiming that the monster isn't strange enough for him to interview.
Although nothing has been confirmed, apparently Stretton has been detained by polic for indecent exposure. Reports are coming through of Stretton dancing up and down with a Go-Go Bot in his hands singing Hot Chocolates 'You Sexy Thing' whilst naked. the creature has been sentenced to making movies to been shown on Sky Cinema 1 at 3:30 in the morning for the rest of his life. Students from acrss the world have already started organising Evil Monsters Rights Marches. more on this story when we get it.
