Apparently, he thinks the classic schoolboy prank game - Knock a Door run would make a great computer game. For those of you not priviledged enough to have played this in your youth, I'll explain it to you. First you pick a house, preferably one of somebody who you dislike intensely. Then you knock on the door and run away to a decent vantage point where you can see them answer the door and look in dismay as they see nobody there.
Yes, this may sound a bit bland, but he also thinks that making the people come after you, giving you a chase could make for some top gaming action, and as you get later on in the game, the chases become harder and harder.
Now onto my ideas - The game would need a storyline - a great one to string it all together. You take control of a teenage boy who's parents have just left him on the streets to fend for himself. You meet a gang inyour roaming, and they invite you to join them, with one condition - you got to play knock - a door run. If you win, you join. If you lose, you've got to fight them.
You've got to work your way up the gangs, eventually becoming the top knock - a door runner in the whole city, at which point, you've got to play it at your Mum and Dad's new house.
Also, the goals could have a bit of variation - Watch your mate knock the door and run, and whilst they are being chased, Break into the house and steal things, vandalise the house or even pee in heir mailbox. All 3 if you've got the guts.
But what about if you get caught? Well, you'll get demoted from your gang and have to work your way up again.
You'd also be able to choose which houses you pranked - From Old peoples (which gets you the least respect) to Jack, the crazy old drunks, who used to be a sniper in the army
With my greatness, this could make a really great game

maybe if they used Uzi's(Uzis,uzi,whats the plural?) to knock on the door it would be more impressive... and illegal, not to mention bloody
but seriously KDG is not a good thing (especiallyif youtripup and get caught... which ofcausenever happened to me ;))
