Madden and the Da Vinci Code

Today I won 50 dollars playing Smash Bros Melee. To guys, it's a Gamecube game. To girls, it's just another sound and picture game on the TV box that boys use to establish nerd dominance.

But that's not the point here. The point is that the group that ran the event blamed the game for the poor turnout, not the fact that they don't advertise.

After the tournament was over, men with fat necks came in and wondered if they could get 'some Madden up in here.' Because to some people, that's all video games are. (Football franchise) + (year). And it's the same goddamn game.

Madden is to video games what the Da Vinci Code is to books.

'Hey person who doesn't play video games/read books, what's your favorite game/book?'
'Oh, it's Madden/The Da Vinci Code. Everyone should play/read it.'

In conclusion, I hate people.

(Bed.)

If they make a movie out of Madden just like they did with the Da Vinci Code, you know it's going to be popular. But then they'd have to make another movie the next year to update all the characters. And then one the next year. And the next year. And so on, until movies are beamed directly into to chips the government implants in our brains and they don't call them "movies" anymore, but rather "brain adventures."

You think I jest, but when everyone asks you to beam the Madden 2043: The Movie into your brain chip, you're going to feel very dumb. Or you'll feel whatever the chip tells you to. Whatever. Go read a book.
