Games need BLUE SKIES! Games need BRIGHT YELLOW SUNS! Games need RED AND BLUE THINGS in them! We want to play in a HAPPY PRETEND LAND, not a s-it version of an American slum full of mixed-race gangsters wearing licensed sportswear!
We want to COLLECT BANANAS FROM MAGIC CASTLES not earn respect from fictional gang leaders! We want to stun enemies with BOUNCE ATTACKS, not shoot them in unrealistic and shoddy drive-bys!
We want to restore our health by COLLECTING ROAST CHICKEN, not by syringing drugs into the only vein we can still find! Games have gone S-IT and DARK and RUBBISH and WE WANT THEM BACK!
We want to fight WEIRD MONSTERS not drug-dealing criminals!
Make games look like games again! Support the Blue Sky In Games Campaign NOW!
DEVELOPERS: HOW YOU CAN HELP TODAY!
- Change everything that's grey into blue.
- From now on, everyone wears red shoes.
- Make everything happen at midday or sunset.
- Replace gun textures with banana textures.
- Turn all cars into pink convertibles that wobble and only do 15mph.
- If you get 100 of anything, a little tune plays.
- Instead of saying "crew" say "your buddies".
- Instead of saying "hood" say "zone".
- Make the female characters something other than prostitutes.
- Make the black characters something other than drug dealers.
Damn right.

It's about time somebody said this! Bring back games that rely on addictive playability and bright colours that make your brain happy! I want to play as a brightly coloured hedgehog with crazy japanese music in the background again!
Hell yeah.

Yes. Yes. Yes.
Furthermore I want all games to have a high score. Regardless of whether it's appropriate or not.
Okay now you're getting all silly.
Hey, there made plenty of games like this about 15 years ago or so (Super Mario World, Adventure Island, Earthworm Jim, etc, etc, ad infinitum).
Tell him to go play Serious Sam 2 or something instead of True Crime: Streets of Kokomo.
