I had an idea for a little Twitter project but I'm pretty sure some game company would get a bug up its butt about copyright if I actually tried it, namely creating a Twitter account/profile/blog and posting entirely in-character as a game character during a playthrough (and it will surprise nobody to learn I came up with the idea whilst in the shower.)
Sample tweets:
From Oblivion:
Guards everywhere...like old Tex Avery toon with Cecil Turtle and Bugs Bunny.
Oblivion gates open left and right and always when I've done something nice for Martin.
Did it snow or is this an Argonian latrine?
From Mount&Blade:
Where did my guys find money for new armor at promotion? I didn't buy it...
1000 denars for a cow? Damn war parties!
I told Matheld fighting unarmored was "warrior's way." She's got nice boobs.
Snowing in Khudan again. It's July, for gods' sakes!
From Morrowind:
I wonder what would happen if I just stabbed Vivec with this katana.
Listen lady, this ain't the diamond I stole. It's one I found!
Maurrie, just standing there won't bring Nelos back. It'll just get you robbed again.
What this island needs is a fucking air force.
From The Sims 2: (at least in my neighborhood):
There is a God and he does set people on fire. I'm scared shitless.
I finished college years ago! Why's this llama in my house?
$5200 for a restored car? What the fuck am I working a job for?
I'd hit that...and her sister...and her daughter...and her girlfriend?
To paraphrase the old Wall Street Journal ad slogan: "An economy of characters. A wealth of potential comedy." I know most Escapists are way funnier and more insightful than I am, so go!
