Ep. 4: Roger Goes on a Date. “Computer games are the new cinema,” said Roger, adjusting the microphone on his computer headset. “Seriously, I’m not the only person to have said it, but the cut scenes in Unreasonable Travesty 6, could have been a movie. I was there. I saw the comments in the forums. When it went on-line, people thought it was the trailer to a movie, not a game.”
There were two distinctive characteristics that made Roger special, although he would never have guessed what they were.
Roger was obese and lived in Hapten-Shufti.
These two reasons alone substantially increased the chances of sudden and violent life changes.
Yet Roger remained blissfully unaware of this new danger.
Far from being worried, he was in the middle of an explanation to his friend Hank, outlining his theory that computer games would supplant Hollywood film.
“If it doesn’t have a controller,” said Roger, pausing for effect. “Then it’s lame - period.”
Hanks smiling face appeared in a video chat window on the computer screen.
“They’ll never make a game that captures the badness of a great B-movie,” said Hank, not giving any ground in the argument. “The computer game industry is too slick. Indy games don’t do it either. They’re too aspirational.”
“You have to be kidding me,” said Roger. “Indy games are more ironic than any B-movie you care to mention.”
“Your argument is like your love life,” said Hank. “It’s full of crap. It just won’t stand up.”
“I’ll have you know,” said Roger, cut by this last comment. “In two hours I leave to go on a date with an incredibly hot woman.”
“Where did you meet her,” asked Hank, cautiously searching for the next opportunity to take down his friend another notch.
“On-line,” said Roger vaguely.
Hank smelt a rat.
