Hello and welcome to 2002 Video Game Winter Olympics.
KevD reporting today with the stars that we've seen over the past week, to interview them about the highs and lows of their winter olympic events.
KevD: "Hi Mario, thanks for giving us this opportunity to talk to you"
Mario: "It's a me.... Mario"
KevD: "Indeed it is, well spotted.... Now let's talk a bit about your alpine racing event. It didn't go too well did it ?"
Mario: "It's a me.... Mario"
KevD: "Yes.... would you care to comment on your appalling performance ? What happened ?"
Mario: "It's a me.... Mario"
KevD: "OK..... critics are saying that you are not exactly cut out for alpine racing. You don't quite have the figure for it.... not exactly aerodynamic ? I must say that your figure hugging skiing suit didn't exactly leave much to the imagination. And tell me...."
Mario: "It's a me.... M..."
KevD: "Shutup. Please will you shutup..... we know who you are.... Now tell me, was it the fact that you spied a few gold coins off the track that caused you to screw up your chances by bailing out mid-race ?"
Mario: "It's.... " POP!! Gurgle...
KevD: "Well, we seem to have lost Mario there. Fortunately another competitor had enough of his mindless self-announcing exploits too..... Thank you Snake, you've done us all a great service"
Snake: "........"
KevD: "Snake ?!"
Snake: ".... wasn't me.... I'm not here"
KevD: "But I saw you. You just crept up on Mario and shot him"
Snake: "..... not me.... I am a shadow...."
KevD: "Pardon ?"
Snake: "I'm in stealth mode.... shush.... "
KevD: "But I can see you as plain as day"
Snake: "Oh b****r, the battery on my stealth suit has run out again. I know I should have asked for more when I got it at Christmas"
KevD: "You did exceptionally well today in the skiing and shooting event"
Snake: "Thank you"
KevD: "Kinda weird how the other competitors all ended up dying in a most grisly manner before they could finish the event"
Snake: "Wasn't me.... I wasn't there..... I'm not here..."
KevD: "But you won the event"
Snake: "Oh yeah. Well maybe I was there... but you can't be sure, can you ? CAN YOU ?"
KevD: "You're holding the trophy"
Snake: "This is a small thermonuclear device. Powerful enough to blow this entire mountain up"
KevD: "OK then, hey nice talking to you Mr.Snake... must dash."
Snake: "This conversation never happened, you haven't seen me"
KevD: "If only you knew how much I wish that was true "
KevD: "Ah, the beautiful Ms.Croft. How are you ? Congratulations on winning the Extreme Snowboarding event"
Lara: "Does my bum look big in this outfit?"
KevD: "Looks fine to me. Can you comment on the race ? You had some stiff competition from Elise and Brody from the SSX crew"
Lara: "Elise is so last month. I'm the next gen lady every boy wants to bring home"
KevD: "How did you beat her ?"
Lara: "Ever see what happens when you tell a girl her hairclips fell out ? Very messy business that. Far too much screaming and tantrums. But I finished her off by letting her know that "Cop Outfits 'R' Us" was having a sale"
KevD: "And Brody ?"
Lara: "Lets just say he came around to my way of thinking."
KevD: "Is that what they are on about when they say 'stiff-competition' ?!"
Lara: "How droll..... how very shallow..... Is my lipstick OK ?"
KevD: "Ah Dante... good to see you... commiserations in coming last in your event"
Dante: "'s'OK"
KevD: "Can you tell me why you didn't keep up the pace with the other skaters ? In fact why did you just stroll through the whole race ?"
Dante: "The key is coolness and attitude my friend.... coolness and attitude. Why rush when I can strut ?"
KevD: "So, you reckon looking cool and strutting around far outweighs the glory of winning such a prestigious event ?"
Dante: "What was the first bit again ?"
KevD: "So, you reckon looking cool and..."
Dante: "Cool.... Yeah"
KevD: "and the not winning ?"
Dante: "Cool"
Mario: "It's a me.... Mario"
KevD: "Good grief, I've had enough of this.... I'm going home"
Unfortunately KevD had had enough of the mindless banter with your favourite characters at this point in the interview. Maybe we can coax him back to complete the job he's been sent to do....
After all we've still to hear about (amongst other things) how Sonic got mistaken for the star on the Christmas tree (ouch), and how the resident evil zombies lost the ice hockey on account of them being too soft ("armless", some people call them).
Thanks for reading !

Hehe, best bit was the annoying Mario turning up right at the end again. :D
So now Mario's been drunk, and competing in the Winter Olympics. What next for the mad Italian?? Plumbing!?!?

It's familiar somehow...
Very good.
Particularly liked the Snake section.
