The Most Absurd Gaming Patent Application Ever

[Pimppeter2]

From his blog:
Which would you buy? Imagine you walk into EB Games, and you have to decide between two versions of GTA. In one, you can only hire and shoot hookers--there is no chance of reforming them nor talking them out of it. In the "Gold 45 Revolver" version of GTA, you can engage in dialogue with the Hooker and hand her copies of the Constitution and Bible, as well as Hayek's The Road to Serfdom, and thus enlist her in your struggle against the fiatocracy, the decline of freedom, and the growth of the corporate-state. She in turn would hand those works to her Pimp who would join you. Which version of GTA would you buy? Obviously the one wired with the novel technology found in "System and method for creating exalted video games and virtual realities wherein ideas have consequences."


I disagree. Handing Bibles to prostitutes doesn't sound like a very fun game to me.

Though it would piss off some disbarred florida lawyers... Hmm

Jesus tittyfucking christ on a turd, that was bizzare.

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

I've seen less confusing diagrams on how to catch Ho Oh in Poke'mon.

 

[BuckminsterF]

I couldn't follow the zombie/vampire/communist one.

 

[9NineBreaker9]

"Shoot woman - world is saved."

See, doesn't this guy kind of kill his own concept when simple violence saves the day? Fuck trying to be intelligent if a gun solves my video game problems all the same.

 

[RAAAAAR]

After reading his blog, I've distilled his whole concept down to this: Reward what the game deems moral, make the opposite result in game ending consequences, and call it revolutionary.

 

[A random person]

Shooting a woman because of her Communist ideals, that's a good idea for a game.

You know what, forget Nintendo's patent that has the game play itself, this is the weirdest gaming patent ever.

 

[Kuchinawa212]

One more thing I know it's not a video game, but Wizards patented "tapping" in magic.
That's weird. Moving your card to the side after a play is patented

What a loony toon

 

[EzraPound]

This is libertarded.

 

[DarkRyter]

Vampire Communists?

Mecha-Reagan was right!

 

[Soldier Ace]

Player - encounters Hooker - What does Player do? - Talks to her & listens - world is saved/ Hires her and kills her - world is lost.

What?

 

[RomanLegacy]

Cool. A game where you win if you agree with everything the develouper promotes, and you lose/suffer if you don't.

I really liked the one about a player receing a normal gun if they acted immoraly, and a Golden lightning shooting unlimited ammo gun if they acted moraly. I can't immagine anyone using such a weapon in a moral way.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

This was one of the most confusing things I've ever read.

 

[ElephantGuts]

That looks long and confusing, but also potentially hilarious. It's too late now to try to wrap my brain around it. Tomorrow, then.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Why would someone invest so much time into something so... insane?

 

[Deleric]

I am so confused at this. Though flow charts are fun

 

[S53]

Damn. There goes the new game I was making. Lol.

But really. That guy is pretty crazy.

 

[bodyklok]

Player encounters women quoting Lenin. Quote Hayek, world saved. Quote Marx, world destroyed.

Christ, dude. I mean. Srsly you guys, srsly.

 

[Sneaklemming]

Man becomes Vampire/Communist? for quoting Lenin- bit harsh no? I'd want xp for quoting anyone
