Good Morning and Greetings all!
By reading this useless sentence fragment you have agreed that you will enter another world, a world of torture and pain. A world where gaming is flipped around, so that it's so bizarre you wish and will wish you had never clicked on that link that got you here, and no I’m sorry, you cannot escape. "What about the back button?" You cry. Well, ermm, no, you see, that won't work. Your whole body will turn into some sort of dessert if you click it. So it seems you haven’t a choice.
"I CAST YE UPON THY STRANGE ALTERNATIVE WORLD!"
**BOOM**
....You wake up in your comfy chair. Everything seems to be normal. You decide that it was all utter nonsense and you head outside. The sun's out, the sky's blue. Everything’s as usual.
You delve into your wallet and you seem to have enough money in there to get a new game. "Oh boy! I'm gonna get me a new game!" you yelp in sheer glee. However, at that precise moment an old lady across the road swears coarsely at you and throws a brick at your face. Ouch. It hurts.
Already you are shaken and confuzzled, and you haven’t even had breakfast yet!
You see a bus stop in front of your house. "Hmm, that’s strange, I don't remember there being a bus stop here" You say under your breath. The old lady swears at you once again and you tell her to go **** herself. You felt the need to release your anger so badly, however she has a heart attack, but unfortunately manages to throw another brick in her dying spasm. A bus arrives, but what’s this? It has monster truck wheels! ‘’Class!’’ you cry with joy.
The bus driver has a crooked grin on his face, "Where to kid?" He asks. "To the game shop my good man!" You yell at him, and throw some money at him. A coin sticks in his eye.
You sit down next to an old man; he smiles and smacks you over the back of the head with a brick. *Why am I getting hit by bricks?* you think to yourself.
Mere seconds later you arrive at your favourite gaming store (Whatever it is, I am not knowing). You get off and walk into the store, watching the bus go off and it falls off the edge of the road, falling into some lake thingy and getting eaten by an octopus of some mutated kind.
Anyway you’re here now; it’s all good.
*DING*goes the bell several times as you enter. You look around, there are Amiga posters everywhere. "What, since when did this get re-released?’’
A kid appears in front of you "Hey! Have you played the latest game Aero the Acrobat on the SNES?” you stare down at the little freak ‘’Fool, about 9 years too late kid’’ you think. "GO AWAY, go and play Pokemon or something".
"Pokemon?" He replies, “What's Pokemon? My favourite game's that N64 classic, Superman 64!’’
"Argghhh!" you yell in ultimate horror and uppercut the kid in the face causing him to explode into a shower of multi-coloured confetti squares. ‘’Hmm, I must have gotten stronger,’’ you think.
You walk over to the store manager, "Hey, can I get a copy of Final Fantasy X?" You ask, eagerly.
"Final what?" He replies. "Never heard of that, can I interest you in a copy of Army Men?”
"Army Men sucks" you say severely.
"WHAT?" He yells, "You’re strange kid, Army Men is one of the best games ever made!” "Anyway, can I interest you in an Xbox, instead?” Finally, something normal you think to yourself. "What the hell, sure….I’ll go for a Microsoft Xbox."
"Microsoft?” he replies... "Dude, Microsoft makes cardboard boxes. Why would they release a console?" He laughs, and points his dirty grubby finger in your face, which leads to the whole shop amused.
’’Then who does make them?" You ask angrily, as this is getting to be too strange.
"A newcomer, Nickelback “
"WHAT???" You yell, "Nickelback is a freaking band!”
"No, Bill Gates is a band. Nickelback makes Windows and stuff". He looks at you in a queer manner. "Kid, are you new to the world of gaming or something? I mean you got ya facts way off!’’
"No! You’re in the wrong, you freak!"
‘’There, there kid...’’
You run away from him, now quite petrified.
You look round the shop. Gameboy Advance signs are also on the walls. ‘’Live life in Advance!’’ the sign reads. However this is closely followed by the Atari logo. "Atari?" What the hells going on? The more you look the more horror fills you. You see the words, Super Mario 64, yet the box feature's Spyro the Dragon wearing a red hat and blue pants.
Then you realise something. Every game is developed by, 3DO, Atari or some poor sad old company. No Square, no Rare, no Capcom...you grasp your face and shriek. In your rage you toss boxes across the store, Freeserve Dreamcasts, Donkey Sonic 64, Telewest Invaders! You’re making everything fly about and innocent people around start to scream and run away.
And you feel a brick hit your head. *CRACK*
Waking up in your chair again, you quickly realise what happened, it was all a dream, a very bad dream.
You surf to a gaming website - Microsoft is making Xbox, both Square and Nickelback exist, that bus stop outside isn't there and there are no signs of old ladies yielding dangerous bricks, PHEW! You run outside and look at the sky, though it's scarlet red. "Ah well, good enough" you mutter to yourself, and walk back inside.
Hope that was a good and interesting read. Confusing time reading that through, but then again, I had a confusing time writing it, especially at 12:30 in the morning! But maybe this block of cheese is to blame. They’re right when they say eating cheese before bed gives you nightmares. Imagine a world like this! I shudder at the thought.
Anyway, if you made it this far I congratulate you and cheers for reading!
