Game AIs

I had a plan to pull a bunch of characters out of one game series at once. Not the movies or the series based on them. The original games from the early 2000s. Yes, I was seriously old school in my gaming choices. The catch is that I didn’t just want to boot them up outside the game. I wanted to enter the game as a player, walk around killing zombies like a regular big damn hero, and hook up with each of the characters inside the game. And once I’d met them in the game, and helped them fight the big bad guys, I was going to use game and real world magic to pull the characters out into the safety of the real world. Awesome plan. Nothing could go wrong. I hope you guessed the truth. Something went wrong.

I am a bit of a purist when it comes to… a lot. I’m not a fan of most zombie horror stuff, but my uncle introduced me to one of the best series when I was young, and he started with the oldest versions. He called them the best, and I can’t help but agree with him. They are dark, but there is a charm to them that I just love. So I learned to mod all of the later games and movies and series to look like the models used in those earlier versions. What can I say? I did a lot of modding back then. I suppose I still do, but it is a different kind of modding now. I don’t play around with potentially living beings the way I did back then. And despite Tai’s visit, I still didn’t fully realize what I was playing with. I was a slow learner on that point.

I should have been more careful after Tai came over to visit. I thought I WAS being careful. I KNEW I was. And I had this plan I’d been working on for weeks. Maybe months. I had pulled a lot of characters out of games by this time, and I had just received a compliment from Tai. I wanted to do something big. There’s this real famous zombie horror franchise that has been remade and retold dozens of times over the centuries. Movies. Series. Games. You name it. Everyone has seen it. At least heard of it. My uncle introduced me to it, and he had played the games since he was a young man. He liked the oldest versions, and taught me to like them too. That colored my options a bit when it came to my grand plan. The one I should have been more careful about.

My mom was proud of me the day Tai came to evaluate my game AIs. So was my dad. But if I’d done something wrong, it would have been my fault. I knew that. I said that. Dad nodded. He told me that it was the way it would always be. Other people would always pay the price when we were wrong. That we always had to be careful to keep from hurting the people around us. Then he hugged me and took me home. Back to Red and all the game characters she’d helped me pull out of games. And the three that were starting to wake up according to my dad and Tai. Or HAD woken up. Not that I could tell. They didn’t act any different from the others. So I went back to what I was doing. I had plans you see.

Remember when another transgender shooter made the news? She entered a Christian school and shot three children and three adults to death. Do you remember the response? Transgender activists demanded we use he/him pronouns. Biden declared a “Transgender Day of Visibility” and said the transgender community was under attack. Tennessee Democrat politicians led a crowd of people breaking into the capitol building to protest the guns and were stripped of their seats. The Vice President met with them and the President denounced their expulsion. They did not attend the funerals of the children. I do not remind you of this to call them hypocrites. This is how people act when they honestly support the people fighting their enemies. Remember.
