What do you imagine the protagonist doing after beating a game?

[Slenn]

I suspect most of you have wondered exactly what happens after the "and they all lived happily ever after." But what exactly DOES happen after it ends? Does the protagonist kick it back after the epilogue? Do they continue to beat the crap out of things?

For me this would probably be Reimu's expression after each Touhou game:

Personally, if I got back after a long days worth of beating up vampires, shades, fairies, and nonsense that take you to hell and back, I would also be really pissed.

Everything depends on the character
e.g. Max Payne would just continue being as a cop in NYC(Yes i said NYC and Cop, MP3 does not exist to me)
Besides, its what he did in the sequel and he lived normally after Max Payne 1

Actually, id believe most characters would just do what they did before the game started

Probably just kicking back, enjoying a few beers and his/her harem...

Going to Dragon Shores only to be abducted into another adventure.

I don't know, cake probably.

EDIT: followed by golfing, followed by go-karting, followed by basketball, followed by tennis, followed by baseball, followed by... am I forgetting anything?

Get really fucking drunk.

Oh, and take a bath because, after all those days rifling through the wilderness, they apparently never found the time. Must spell my blood, piss, mould and gunpowder.

Also, I thought they ended the Touhou games with a cup of tea?

Damn. You said exactly what I was going to post. :/

The first game I thought of was AC:B. So, I actually had an image of Ezio returning to his hideout, putting his feet up and having his posse of assassinettes attending to him. =P

Banging the princes off camera now that that anoying thing is either no longer following the protagonist around always looking over his shoulder, down on him, or glued to his nose.

I imagine they sign up for several years of therapy for PTSD...

 

[Vhite]

Maybe having sex and all the other things they couldn't do because you were costantly watching them with camera, you freak!

Parties, chess, typing lessons, gate crashing other people's games, picking fights with other franchise stars, going to the Olympics and so on

Zero Punctuation referance:

They probably just draw back for some sweet... "cake".

Really? In that case... *snap* *snap* A beer and a massage, please!

(Sorry, couldn't resist!) =P

*sigh* And I just thought of such an inappropriate innuendo... I'll pre-emptively ask you to slap me!

Sleep, seriously how many games do you see where the protagonist actually has ANY sleep throughout the days of constant combat/parcour/running that would render them as tired as the prettiest whore working overtime? I would be knackered and hop off to bed assuming I was sure some vengeful basterd wasn't gonna take that opportunity to run me through.

Gorden Freemen helps people overcome their fears of public speaking.

They. Would go. To the God-damned. Toilet!

Except Duke Nukem. He went before like his mommy always told him to.

 

[Booze Zombie]

Getting laid, watching TV and getting drunk before going home and sleeping in for about 12 hours?

 

[Ben Jackson]

Masturbating...is that just me.
No, they'd probably just continue, say assassin's creed 2, ezio would just carry on being a assassin and killing shit up.
