Video game characters in therapy sessions

[Chris++]

How do you think it would go? Take the bad guy from Kaboom!, for instance. He's a confused, frightened soul and doesn't really wish any harm on anyone, or he wouldn't be dropping the bombs in such orderly, predictable rows. And look how often his facial expression changes! Talk about erratic!

 

Evil Otto's another matter altogether. He exists to jump on stick-men and pulverize them. There's no internal conflict whatsoever. He's so happy about being evil that he bounces around merrily.

 

Therapist: Now, how can we find new ways of releasing our pent-up emotions?

 

Mad Bomber: Well, for one thing, I'd have to change my name.

 

Otto: For me, there's no other way. I have no pent-up emotions. I'm just evil. Simple as that. I wish more people would accept me for who I am. I lie on this couch and look up at the ceiling and all I can think about is evil.

 

Therapist: Have you tried asking yourself where this evil comes from?

 

Otto: No. I don't have the patience for that.

 

Mad Bomber: Just get yourself a bunch of bombs. It makes you feel so much better.

 

Otto: Shut up! All I need is for that damn humanoid to show up in one of my mazes with a bucket of water. That'd probably screw up my robots as well.

 

Mad Bomber: Jeez! Sorr-ry! (sob)

 

Otto: Look, don't cry. I've just been feeling especially irritable lately.

 

Therapist: Have you tried asking yourself (zzzzzap) YEEEAAAAAARRRGHH!!!!

 

Mad Bomber: Thanks.

 

Otto: No sweat. She was getting on my nerves.

 

(Yeah, I know, I have some weird pastimes...but there's so much potential for humor in our hobby, Atari Brothers...)

Anyone who can carry as many bombs as the Mad Bomber can, is a person I don't want to question the sanity of.
