Massive Haiku Madness

So, yeah, I like haikus. Last time there was a haiku competition I was in the middle of a really busy period in work and I still managed to think up a few but this time round, well, I made a few more...

Here is the list. 25 so far...

Let me get this right;
Your friends all try to kill you
But this is still fun?

Run through a dark maze.
Pop pills, fluorescent lights glowing.
Now play some Pac-man.

Do you remember?
Black Yorda, sinking castle?
Running down the beach?

They will realise,
One day soon, that playing games
Won't make us killers

l4d "singles" haikus

Black I.T. worker,
Seeking girl with a shotgun
To cover his back.

Fifty-something male
Seeks mate for killing zombies.
Must bring own ammo.

Tattoed male seeks date.
Hates vans, planes, water, woods, malls.
Likes vests. No zombies.

Female survivor,
Seeking friend with benefits.
Nude mod enabled.

General Gaming Commentary

In role-playing games,
Why is kleptomania
So acceptable?

Overabundance,
The sequel generation;
When will it all end?

Don't be a fan-boy
Seriously, why bother?
Gaming is all good.

I am ejected,
Unceremoniously;
Team-killing is fun!

Forever rolling,
I will pick up anything
To put back the stars

Using two portals,
Interdimensionally,
I will find my cake

I will not listen,
Though she is persistent;
That pesky fairy.

I yell "BOOM HEADSHOT!"
Into a small microphone;
I am so lonely.

Mr Destructoid;
He's in Bomberman, you know?
I have blown him up.

Shape of things to come:
"Two princesses, 1-Up" site
Mario vomits.

Mario related

A giant turtle
Steals the princess, all the time,
Mario gets bored.

Insurance fraud scam
King Koopa is suspected.
Castles too fragile.

Toads have freaked me out,
Ever since I found out that...
Those are not their heads!

Driver, Plumber, Doc,
Mario does everything
To avoid marriage

Thwomps get just one chance
And normally fail to get
Job satisfaction

Hundreds of turtles,
Stunned by a viscious plumber,
Naked in the sun.

Mushroom monarchies
Fail to govern well due to
Stolen princesses

My lame attempt at videogame haiku:

Zelda gone again,
Ganondorf up to old tricks,
Find the Triforce, Link.

Wow, that's a lot! I could only think of one good one for the contest, but I'm pretty proud of it. I'm excited for them to announce the winners.

Mine was:
"Naming who I love
is like a Pokemon fight:
I always choose you."

That isn't lame in the least, Brim! Loads of mine are way ropier than that. ;)

@Phantomile: I am also waiting with great anticipation! I don't know how they'll chose winners; there's so many great ones!

Phantomile, yours would make a wicked Valentine. And Glipe, I really like the L4D ones. I wrote some TF2 ones myself (somewhere on the third or fourth page of comments, I think).

Heh, yeah, I know, absentee or what! ;)

I've been about, occasionally jumping in to reply on some front page posts, but things got really mad at work for a while there and I was working ultra-hard to get a project finished.

I should really write about that too...
