What is best in life... or in gaming?

[elforcelf]

Flumphs! :d

 

[Angel Tarragon]

All of the above.

 

[Blackthorne]

Plus chainsaws. Inserting a chainsaw into a movie, novel or game raises its quality level significantly.

 

[Orius]

Pirates that fly around on steampunk airships.

Ninjas are overdone. They need to be eaten by dinosaurs.

 

[mythusmage]

Having barbarians and ersatz Mongols come back as hamsters.

That or dinosaur ninjas. (Picture an awakened ultraraptor with ninja training.)

 

[BullMarkOne]

Beer!

Beer! Beer is best in life you fools!

But, since the amber ambrosia didn't make the list for some unknown reason (conspiracy?), I had to vote for zombies.

What do you think the material component in Animate Dead is.

 

[StreamOfTheSky]

Ninja monkeys piloting giant robot mechas, of course! And how are pirates beating ninjas? Pirates can't even wall climb!

 

[genshou]

All of the above.

I was wondering who was going to be the first to say that! The best games have a little of everything good, and a lot of everything good! Throw in an extra batch of everything good, and... well, you get the picture.

On another note, I'm surprised that ninja are getting so many votes. I would have thought everyone was ninja'd out by now. Of course, that's because mention of them is so pedestrian in common culture that they lose their mysticism. All you ninja-haters should play in one of my games sometime. As one who greatly honors and reveres the ways of these noble masters of stealth, I'll put the mysticism (and fear) back into the word ninja for you.

Ninja'd out? Tosh. When a man is tired of ninjas, he is tired of life!

Anyway, the poll clearly shows in a highly scientific manner that pirates are the coolest things on the entire planet (apart, of course, from colossal squid). The interesting question actually seems to be that of second place, where ninjas and zombies are locked in a pitched battle for supremacy. And, as the equally scientific googlefight shows, it is an equally close-run thing in the world at large. Now there's a movie I'd pay real money to go and see: Ninja Zombie Apocalypse on Planet Venus! Especially if someone could work some colossal squid into it somehow...
