Aaron Stone: Online Gamer He Isn’t

 Disney’s new attempt at gaining a new target audience has been reduced to using MMO games as the source of crappy inspiration (only crap when Disney is involved). If you want someone who’s young, handsome and probably an annoying twat who can’t figure that he’s being used as the next generation of secret agent or something that involves using a MMO to find someone with the perfect credential to be the new kind of secret agent…..fiction has to take truly monumental liberties of reality—on the little issue of there being no young, handsome and probably annoying twats who play MMO’s to be consider good. Because as we all know, the real MMO masters aren’t exactly eye candy, social—but are probably not annoying twats like Aaron “fuck off” Stone. Who embodies everything the greatest MMO gamer doesn’t have.

The actual image of the greatest MMO gamers that sums up how unlikely reality will ever give us the whole “Disney thinks there’s a gamer like that in the world….ha ha ha”. Anyone who saw the episode of South Park with World of Warcraft will know that’s what the greatest MMO gamer looks like….or similar to a point….you get the idea.

Disney pretty much stole the premise of “The Last Starfighter” but instead of a arcade game to decide who shall become a pilot, they instead for the new era of MMO’s. Too bad everyone is either socially inept or not suited towards the hectic life of a fictional tale involving the most unlikely situation….when I say situation, I mean the young, handsome and probably annoying twat. And anyway, realistically games don’t reflect our actual ability in real life situations that involve the following: a world overrun by George A. Romero zombies, a post-apocalypse event involving nukes, anything that needs to be captured, driving, spying on a foreign nation and countless other things of life, that will never ever happen—like Catgirls coming into existences (what a magnificent world that would be *glazed eyes*). Sorry, the zombie situation is pretty much easy if you’re willing to use friends, family, homeless and anything made of human flesh as a scapegoat—then you’re fine for a few extra of mind numbing fear.

I know this is all a bore fest to anyone who doesn’t know what the hell Aaron Stone (good on you). It’s all about trying to create something to make money instead of creating something just for the sake of creating something new and different (Babylon 5 for example). But that’s a ideal world where creativity is ahead of the monetary requirements.

Thought of the Day: August 28th:

What don’t I think about beyond the want to read “The War of the Worlds” but find myself thinking “god this is boring” and yes, I know it’s written in the time when it would’ve been seen as exciting, but times have changed….sorry to all HG Wells fans. But I’d be lying if I said “This is great and nothing compares to it” personally I prefer Frank Herbert’s classic Dune.
