More Braindump

Now, for my sins, I sort of want to write a post about Hirakawachi 1cchome, wFL and rockism versus popism - except it would be more like assumptions of the American musical industry/audience versus assumptions of the Japanese musical industry/audience. What stops me is that the people on my flist who know these names are real popists, as opposed to uhh faux-populist intellectual wanktards like me (BY SAYING THIS SHE IS ONLY REDEFINING 'AUTHENTICITY' OH NOES), and thus... would really, really not care.

So, instead, I'll talk about video games.

...I think a boybander breeding sim would be really cool. The boi would hatch out of a sparkly pod, and you'd have to feed it and make it do jazzercises, and expend points on teaching it songs and dance moves. Depending on what skills you give it it will specialize into various classes on maturity. You could even have one that writes its own songs! Then you hook up yours with your friends' and teach them combo moves and give concerts.

(Wow, I bet you're all regretting trying to sl0re me on this stuff now.)

Hee hee hee!

They should have random events in the game too for instance:

"Scandal with underage fangirl. Lose 5 charisma points. But write novel abou your tragic youth, gain 7 fame points."

...It would be like breeding Pokemon for Popularity contests! Only more sparkly. And then they could battle with other singers (except would that be too Macross? o_oa) and you could go out and hunt wild singers to add to your team.

I would TOTALLY BUY THAT GAME.
