Topic: Depth in gaming.

@Chicken Brutus: Deep in WHAT, exactly? Suspicious stare.

@That Roman Rooster: i've never even heard of Hotel Mario. is this another one of those CDi abominations?

@Token: agreed. RPGs also make for the best avenues in storytelling, because of the somewhat detached nature of the gameplay.

Yep. And you gotta help us!

@Chicken: gotta help you what? you're losing me, man!

If you need instructions on how to get through the hotels, check out the enclosed instruction book.

Oy, stupid Hotel Mario jokes. Pay them no mind, bro2dragons.

I love you, in a way.

and now i'm concerned.

@Stuffgamer, i believe i shall take your advice.

Nice of the princess to invite us over for a picnic, gay Luigi?

_{Sorry, couldn't resist that one.}

I'm the best player ever, and I never even played the stupid game! Sweet.

Man, those cut scenes sucked. How's the GAME, though? I hear the Zelda CDi games actually weren't too bad once you got past the animation.

I never played Hotel Mario, and I have no idea how it plays.

wow... that's just wow. all toasters toast toast??? really?

I'm very much looking forward to a videogame version of Wuthering Heights.

I probably shouldn't say things like that. Some game developer somewhere might read it and think it's a good idea.

and so i find out the source of all toasters...

@WaltzElf: Better yet, Bleak House: The Video Game!

@Stuffygamer and WaltzingElf: honestly, i'm not sure what either of those are....

If it's a game that can use a good storyline, then yes, please.

Bronte and Dickens. And bad, bad source material for video games.

I'd love an RPG based on Don Quixote, which someone (pixelman?) mentioned at some point in another thread. How awesome would that be? Or one based on Joyce's Ulysses. Imagine that...a 700 hour game where all you do is walk around Dublin hallucinating creatures from The Odyssey while your wife has sex with an actor.

Well, I'd buy it.

@chicken.... don quixote i could see. i mean, heck, if they're doing the inferno, why not the don? or what about an Awakening game? "How many affairs can you have? My high score is 49,008!"
