When I was sixteen Back in the day I had a blue little friend With which I would play Becasue I was pathetic had lots of zits So I played lots of videogames becasue I never got chicks OH Sonic! Oh Sonic! You brought me such joy! You were better than pastrami or a new He-man toy When you race around it would fill me with glee I would jump up and down like I had to pee with excitement that is, as you charged the green phantom zone, I would get excited and happy as you jumped and went "boing!" In my lonely nights as a young adolescent punk I would watch you do speed jumps as I fiddled with my junk Sometimes I would just watch the demo and not even play as you ran around through loop-de-loops and sped to save the day One time I made a Sonic suit out of blue carpet and clay and even though I routinely got my ass beat by jocks because of it I still wore it everyday But then the day came when I turned seventeen I put the suit away shut off the dream I got me a girlfriend and a little bit of play the dorkiness was left behind the zits went away I got me a job, and a life, re-spon-si-bil-i-tee A whole new world beyond my bedroom television had opened up to me Then I realized one important thing the cause of my inner-strife That even really good games are just games not a way of life Yes it's cool to be into something even if it is a joke and collect a whole bunch of crap relating to it until you are totally broke But dammit, not when it becomes a problem "Pathetic" doesn't begin to describe like disease ridden crack addict when it takes over your life I never thought my friend Sonic could be compared to drugs but he makes people go bannanas and act like unruly thugs Some of us can remain young in our hearts, we are kids and continue to enjoy the things of our youth way into our twilight years But others become lost destitue, and insane an army of diseased little hedgehogs with Sonic on the brain. So some advice my friends, turn off the megadrive a simple little task that will vastly improve your life Sonic was a benchmark not sad, sorry, or lame, but in the end he's like life just another game. Bottom line: If a videogame character can motivate you to break the law, then please, just give it up before you do something dangerous. The rest of us will thank you.
I'd just like to point out that your 'Bottom Line' pretty much puts us all in that boat. Unless you only collect videogames that you can buy at Wal-Mart.
Perhaps. I really like Castlevania. But I've never vandalized someone's house becasue he bagged on it.
Always though Sonic games were a bit shit tbh. Still do. Entertaining poem however, even though anyone with say a proto or dev stuff is likely to all foul of the summing up (albeit not due a specific character, just vging)
I think that poem, was perfectly suited, and I think you are absolutely right, on the spot, and you hit the nail. Thumps up, for that !
I was just trying to say that most of us have at some time or another 'obtained' some dev hardware or perhaps a beta or a biohazard 1.5 that we are not supposed to have.
