THE VIDEO GAME MEME

Video games. We love 'em. You love 'em. Let's play 'em. ...That's all there is to it, yep.

1.) Post with your character.
2.) When you reply to someone, roll from the options below.
3.) Play the game. Feel free to pick a specific one if you want, or make up your own random-ass game.
4.) Try not to break the console.

1. Dating Sim (eg. Tokimeki Memorial, Katawa Shoujo): Basically obligatory in these sorts of memes. But remember, it's not just about picking whether to stick it in or not! It's also about making sure you don't slack off too much in your studies and workout, you lazy ass.

2. Japanese RPG (eg. Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Tales of): Saving the world one scripted overdramatic event after another. Grind those levels!

3. Western RPG (eg. Fallout, Baldur's Gate, Wizardry): Gotta go save the world! ...After I get the rats out of the cellar, and take this scroll to the next city over, and try to find three artifacts for the archeologist at the camp...

4. Management Sim (eg. Evil Genius, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Simcity): I don't know what you're talking about. Having a roller coaster that launches people into orbit is perfectly legitimate park design.

5. Beat'em'up (eg. Final Fight, River City Ransom, God Hand): PUNCH 'EM ALL AND LET GOD SORT 'EM OUT. Try not too eat too many street chickens.

6. First Person Shooter (eg. Doom, Medal of Honor, Half-Life 2): No John you ARE the demons. And then John was a demon. Oooh, motion sickness...

7. Adventure Game (eg. The Walking Dead, Monkey Island, King's Quest): I'm pretty sure that porcelain cat is SOMEHOW important in getting the guard to let you into the club, but how?

8. Platformer (eg. Super Mario Bros, Rayman, I Wanna Be the Guy): Where do all those pits actually drop you, anyway?

9. Strategy (eg. Starcraft, Civilization, Total War): zerg rush kekekekekekeke

10. Survival Horror (eg. Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Dead Space): ...but isn't this what 75% of Dreamwidth RPs are ANYWAY?

11. Puzzle (eg. Puyo Puyo, Chu Chu Rocket, 2048): Yeah, I apologize if that last example is giving anybody withdrawal symptoms right now.

12. Fighting Game (eg. Street Fighter, Tekken, King of Fighters): ARE YOU KEN? ARE YOU KEN? SURE YOU'RE KEN!

13. Shoot-em-up (eg. Gradius, Touhou, Tyrian): Suddenly, there were bullets! Eeeeeeeeeverywhere!

14. Metroidvania (eg. Metroid, Symphony of the Night, La Mulana): Leaving rooms tantalizingly out of reach until you get the right item for years.

15. Classic Arcade (eg. Frogger, Pac-Man, Lunar Lander): Where pretty much the only thing that matters is the points you get and how few quarters you use to get them.

16. Sports (eg. Tecmo Bowl, NBA Jam, Mario Kart): Because why get fresh air when you can sit on your butt and make touchdowns?

17. Dark Souls: Yes. I just gave it its own section. FIGHT ME

18. Wildcard/Other: Anything I forget to list? Here it goes.

prompts/inspiration

1. moving in: circumstances bring you to a new home/mansion/cabin/apt building and shit is weird. need i say more? ghosts, creepy neighbors, the works

2. exploration: did you really have to come here? was it part of a job? a dare? because you felt like it? well, you're here now and the more you explore the creepier shit gets. hope you can find your way out

3. bunker down: it's the end of the world. or something(s) is stalking the outside and boxing you in. either way, this is your temporary home and you've got to figure out how to survive. bonus, there's shit going on inside as well. oops!

4. a curse: something followed you or a loved one, or someone you fucking hate but feel obligated to help out of the mess you inadvertently got them in. better figure out a way to lift this damn thing, hopefully the cost isn't too high

5. vacation gone bad: you just wanted to relax...oh well.

6. this town is all fucked up: the locals are weird, you hear freaky noises in the streets at night, and sometimes you can hear your neighbors whispering loudly through the walls. what the fuck dude? stopping here for the night/moving in was probably a mistake, huh?

7. am i crazy, or...: sometimes the real horror is your mind. you can't tell if it's all just in your head or if something's up. maybe go to the one person who won't dismiss you for help?

8. I DON'T KNOW DO WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT these are just here for ideas. Go wild.

1. Games: From classic ring toss to the shooting gallery, here's your chance to win a prize for yourself or for that special someone. Some say the games at a carnival are rigged, but maybe, just maybe, you'll get lucky!

2. Food and Drink: The sweet smell of funnel cake and the familiar briny aroma of popcorn draw you over to the food and drink tent. There's cotton candy, candied nuts, and cheep booze, all here for your enjoyment.

3. Classic Rides: The carousel, the ferris wheel. All carnivals need these classic rides for kids and adults who aren't looking for the excitement of the faster-paced rides. Snuggle close to your partner and see if you can see your house from the top of the wheel.

4. Something More Exciting: This is for thrill-seekers. Here you'll find the Tilt-a-Whirl, the Gravitron, the Screamin' Swing--all the rides designed to make you lose your lunch. Hope you didn't have too much cotton candy beforehand!

5. Freakshow: Do they really have a bearded lady in that tent? It's time to find out. Buy a ticket and see the greatest oddities the world has to offer.
Hard Mode: one of you actually is the oddity being gawked at by the other. How does that make you feel?

6. Hall of Mirrors: You and your partner entered, thinking it would be easy to get out again, but dead ends abound in this wacky mirror-maze, and each mirror seems to show a more and more distorted image of each of you.

7. Fortune Teller: Whether one of the creepy machines or the even creepier women dressed up in a culturally insensitive costume, you cross someone's palms with silver and get your future told. Will it be happiness forever with your partner, or will ill tidings be bound your way?
Optional: Use this to get your fortune

8. Wildcard!: I know I forgot something, probably several somethings, so here's your wildcard for whatever else you can fit into this

It's late. Like, 3 AM late. You're hungry as fuck, but nothing is open.

Except Denny's.

RULES

1. Post to the meme.
2. Find somebody to eat with. Figure out why the hell you'd do this to yourself.
3. I don't think they have the Hobbit menu anymore, fuck. Maybe you should ask the waiter or something.
