I wanna be the guy.

Turns out there is a video game that was made by a guy called I Wanna Be The Guy. This video game takes the hardest parts from some of the most classic games and compiles them into one game, this way, you, could be the guy. You could be the guy that won the game, saved the princess...........got the princess...beat dracula, saved the world, beat up Robotnic...and Knuckles, probably beat Streets of Rage (Mr.X the jig is up!) and beat Battletoads (NOT the full game just the end boss).......(WHICH I have beat it for NES...it's honestly the hardest game of all time. It took an eternity to beat...just play it sometime...you'll see. It's like I dunno, you have to be perfect in like three or four different parts. Eventually, yeah, I was perfect at it. That's not even bragging. Eventually, you play something enough that you memorize the pattern. It's as easy *or hard* as that...it took...a long time...It makes me realize, in an infinitesimally small way, what eternity is going to be like, so I appreciate it more. And that's something.....right?)...I digress...

It's an interesting thought. I want to be the guy. Who doesn't want to be the guy? Who doesn't want the story book ending? Who doesn't want to be the guy that saves the day? Who basically gets what he wants? Like...it's so crazy...you are the guy that is there at the perfect moment everytime.

I have thought about this phrase a little bit, if you can't tell. It's intriguing to me and I love the thought of it, it's pretty inspiring.

  2. Unfortunately for all of us, in order to be the guy, there is an eternal amount of death in the way. :(

  3. Hey Xanny...don't harsh the mellow. At least, from how I read it, it's harshed.

  4. but in the real world, you can be The Guy and not have to face death (most of the time)...just a lot of enduring to the end and stretching to learn and grow and challenging your views of self and others. A fate worth than death? Maybe.

  5. Haha...yeah I agree...Xan might have also been refering to the game. Like if you touch anything you die. At some parts of the game stars will fall out of the sky and kill you. Or he could also just be a lamo. Both possible...but the latter is more possible.
