I had this ridiculous idea today!
So I was playing Nintendo in my little brother's room because I have no life, when I started thinking of that thing we threw around like a year ago; about re-writing a book or movie, with a different perspective? And Genesis gave me the cool idea to do a write a story off of a music video. Which made me realize; what if someone did that, but with a video game?
Here's the deal: Mario Party is, if you think about it, very insane. In Mario Party 3 to be specific, everyone's just hanging around, when they're suddenly transported to his magic-toy-box world. If you beat the entire game-all the boards and mini-games and all that- the "Millennium Star" sends you home with the title of 'Superstar'.
It just hit me today: that's nuts! You have to put yourself in crazy situations, physically attack the other players MANY times, and do all sorts of nutty tasks. Just to get back home! You're basically kidnapped! It's like if Disney made a Saw movie!
Okay, that was a weird metaphor...
Anyway, the point is this. I realized if I wrote a story about a guy who has to beat Mario Party, I could make it awesome and funny by being really, really sarcastic. I even planned out all the characters and everything.
I think this could actually work. And I'm not talking about that Kingdom Hearts thing I tried a couple years ago; it was kinda cool, but very confusing. This would be satire, pure and simple.
What do you guys think?

You make me cry with that piano, so now MAKE ME HAPPY!
