YNIN's Cartridge Blowers Ep 42 - Talk About Microtransactions! FAGEDDABOUDDIT!
2When I was a kid and I'd play RPGs, I'd always name the main character after myself. The game would be a wonderful story where I journeyed forth from my small town, interact with a bevy of strangers, and eventually overcome a world-ending scourge to the fanfare of probably no one. That'd be a pretty good metaphor for the sexual awakening that follows adolescence if I didn't also always name the other party members after the X-Men. Unless I guess you grew up and fucked the X-Men. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is today we played games with characters that have the same names as us! That's a weird fucking idea! Cody is a guy but he's not actually Guy in Final Fight, I am a clown child murderer who fights a sword-fighting masturbator in No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle, Nikki is a radical but more of a mechanic than a ninja in Kid Niki: Radical Ninja, and Dylan just doesn't understand how plate tectonics work in relation to traffic flow in The Kyle Shaw Adventure. It was always really weird in Final Fantasy games when I'd end up making out with Logan. I pretty much named every character after Wolverine. It's Cartridge Blowers Episode 42: Talk About Micro-Transacions. FAGEDDABOUDDIT. Next week we'll talk about how Super Mario Bros. 3 is a metaphor for the extinction of Native American tribes after the arrival of the Pilgrims. True story. Probably.
