"The president has been kidnapped by ninjas. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the president?" Hell, yes I am. Start! It might be hard to believe now, surrounded as we are by games that tell their stories with all the humor and lightheartedness of a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zack Snyder movie, but video games have a history of being goofy and unashamedly stupid. And I love it. I love the dumb fun of it all, the absurd logic that guides some of the most beloveℱd creations of this industry.

Take Metal Gear Solid and Halo for exam💞ple. These are two of my very favorite franchises in all of gaming. But the former is about a clone (or, depending on the game, the clone's "father") with a nanomachine virus in his veins who fights nuclear-equipped robot dinosaurs. The last game alone starred a man with shrapnel sticking out of his head, parasites that understand English, a dog with an eyepatch trained to use a knife with its mouth, a giant robot with a flamethrower robo-phallus, and a woman who breathes through her skin.

Meanwhile, Halo is about cyborg supersoldiers from the future who shoot aliens in the face. Oh, and another type of alien that basically makes space-fungus-zombies. Oh, and another type of alien that were essentially gods. Also, humans used to be super-advanced and space-faring, but the space-gods de-evolved us so we wouldn't be a threat to them. Also also, the space-zombie alien used to be the space-gods that existed before the space-gods, and holy crap, this just 💫keeps going, doesn't it?

Let's be honest with ourselves: all of the above is straight-up dumb. These histories and lore read like something that came out of a highschool creative writing workshop where everyone put one verb or noun into a hat, and wrote a story using all of those words. Don't misunderstand though; I'm not being condescending here. When I say the lore is dumb, those feelings come from a place of love. I genuinely appreciate and applaud the sillꦐiness th𝔉ese games get away with.
