Title: Gameplay idea
Post by: OnyxFlame on November 04, 2004, 12:30:25 AM
I don't have the game yet, but I must say I'm totally drooling over it lol. I did have a nifty idea though...

What if you used random stuff off of TV to start the game out? Flipping channels, you see Captain Kirk so you put him in. Then someone sees a bleach commercial so you put that in. And so on. I'd imagine you'd have to stop once someone was able to come up with a scene, otherwise it'd make absolutely no sense, but it'd still be an interesting way to start out.

You could easily do the same thing with books, newspapers, websites, etc.

Any comments?

Cool. I sometimes use an illustrated encyclopedia to start me out. Or my big book on the history of cartography - so many cool pictures to start from - worth 1k words, etc.
