About Me
Favorite Games:
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Mass Effect
Total Annihilation
Unreal Tournament
Halo 3

Platforms:
Xbox 360

My real name is William, but I go by Bryce. I live in Harrisburg, PA.

My dad first got me into gaming by taking me with him to LAN parties with his co-workers where we'd play Total Annihilation and Unreal Tournament until around 2 AM, which was very late for a second-grader. I was pretty much exclusively a casual PC gamer until I got my Xbox 360 Elite in the summer before my junior year of high school. Now mouse & keyboard feel wrong to control games. I have a Linux-based laptop that has problems showing Youtube videos, so I can't play PC games anymore.

I have ADHD, which, combined with a lot of shit that happened in my family, caused me to fail my senior year of high school, despite the fact that I was literally one of the smartest people in my class. I like programming and am trying to learn more about it. I'm also a huge physics nerd. I'm basically a cross between a nerd and a gamer. Just mash the two stereotypes together and you'll pretty much get me.

Why There Should Be More Cats in Video Games
Arkhon | 1:33 AM on 08.28.2009 21 comments


I've noticed that there seems to be very few of my favorite animal in video games these days, whether as main characters or whatever. Everyone seems to like dogs better, as evidenced by the most recent Zelda game, Fable II, and Fallout 3. Well I say no more! I want a feline playable character in a video game by the end of next year! Here's why:



Kittens are the most adorable things on the entire fucking planet. Why limit it to earth, though? Why not take the extreme cuteness of kittens to explore the galaxy, visiting alien worlds like in Mass Effect? They could rule the universe!



Kittens, while cute, are also stone cold killers. Their cuteness only makes them more effective at killing, because nobody suspects a kitten of anything. Even when they get caught, nobody can stay mad at something with a fuzzy face like that.



Catgirl-like creatures are very awesome. Look at her fucking claws. If you have any doubt as to whether catgirls are awesome, you are an idiot.



Catwoman was an incredible movie. I hear it even won some awards, like the Golden Raspberries, which are way more prestigious than Oscars.



Hitler was not a cat. 'Nuff said.



You can't do shit against something that's both dead and alive at the same fucking time. Even trying to do so will just make you look like a complete tool.

And finally,



Pumpkin, pictured above meditating before his next battle, is a bad-ass motherfucker. I nicknamed him MegaKitty so that he would have a name more befitting his godlike power. Just today, I got right up in his face and challenged him to a fight, screaming, "YOU WANNA GO, MEGAKITTY? HUH?" so that my voice sounded like the singer in the shitty Rock Band 2 song Visions. You know what he did? He meowed a one liner, did a 180 degree flip sideways into a prone position, then proceeded to knead the air while purring a purr so fucking vicious it made children on the fucking moon cry. That is how badass he is.

I'm thinking a stealth game where you play as a fucking ninja cat sniper. Yeah.

Shadow Hearts: From the New World had a playable cat character who fought in the 'Drunken Fist' style. :)

I have 2 cats myself, but I personally hate cats in general. The only reason their should be more cats in games is to have something cute and innocent to shoot at. I'm a horrible person, I know.

Wow, it's amazing the number of people who focused on my first paragraph.

@Juggs:

It was supposed to be a joke, as was everything else. Although I stand by what I said in the last line.

@Arkhon - Well, I was responding to your last line mostly, where you can play as a stealth game with a fucking ninja cat (no sniping, though).

I'm sure everyone understood this was a joke, btw.
