If you could wake up and spend 24 hours in an online game with any weapons/powers, would you do it? If so, what type of game would you choose, and why?

Hmm, I'm not into many online games. For a while, I was into Neopets, Kingdom of Loathing, AdventureQuest, and Club Penguin, but nowadays I'm only into the former two, and even then, only on a "log on once or twice every few months" kind of way.

So, if I had to spend 24 hours in an online game, hm...I'll go with Kingdom of Loathing. Even though it has cussing (which I don't like) whereas Neopets doesn't, at least you don't have to buy virtual money with real money (not since the last time I was on, anyway).

But if I could spend 24 hours in any video game, here are some I might pick:

This guy on SparkLife hates The Scarlet Letter so much that he's writing hilarious summaries of it. Don't get me wrong, I actually like the book somewhat, but these summaries are still hilarious.

Top ten lines so far:

10) "The Governor, Reverend Dimmesdale, Reverend Wilson and creepy husband Chillingworth enter the room and immediately begin talking about Pearl, calling her 'a little bird' and a demon child. Tweet tweet! ROAR!"

9) "The charming man tells [Hester] that he's not interested in her soul; he's going to find out who her baby's father is and get his revenge that way. Then he kills a puppy just so we're absolutely certain that he's a bad guy."

8) "I said I wanted mushrooms! This is pepperoni! I didn’t realize Beelzebub worked in this pizzeria!"

7) "Granted, it's probably the most action-packed description of a door in literary history, but still, that's all that happens."

6) "Pearl calls her mother over to look at the giant suit of armor, which would probably be overkill if you were defending yourself from mud attacks."

5) "The most likely answer is that this chapter picks up immediately, but I like to pretend that a few hours have gone by of the townspeople waiting for something to happen as Hester continues being embarrassed and occasionally asking for a chair."

4) "My knowledge of history during this time is a little shaky, but think of all the much cooler jobs [Nathaniel Hawthorne] could've had: blacksmith, statesman, pirate, dinosaur rider."

3) "If I had known that Hester was going to get super powers from this, doesn't [Hawthorne] think [he] should have called the book The Magic Scarlet Letter or The Super Adulterer?"

2) "Then some kid comes over and gives a three-hour lecture as to why he's going to throw a pinecone at Hester's head."

1) "Feeling a strange sensation, [Hawthorne] presses the letter to his chest and suddenly he gains all the powers of the letter A and goes on to fight crime as A-Man! Defender of alphabetizing!"

A PC version of Super Mario Bros. with one twist - the whole game is backwards. You start from the flag at the end of the last level (though I wish they implemented the defeating Bowser and rescuing Peach cutscene backwards) and do everything backwards - put coins back where they were, stomp already-flattened Goombas to revive them, etc. It even shows the credits at the beginning. It's tricky because you have to not touch a coin after collecting it backwards, not stomp the same Goomba backwards more than once, not fall farther than you can normally jump, and so on, but it's entertaining all the same.

(If you don't get it, the subject line of this post is a backwards lyric to Mario Twins by Group X)

EDIT: NIP!! Megs and nukes say Nair a-- Flush now so rare purples say air puffs, Ned? See it? No? NARF!!...Yep! Your fish lay hang it note! "Yeah, well, f*** on the easy SNAAARRRR!!" says the open Malfoy! Oh, ow! Yep! Oh, no! (Translation: I beat it! I was disappointed it only had three levels though. Hey, I have an idea: quote backwards Group X again!)
