Throughout history, mankind has been plagued by one great, unsolvable riddle. It is a hydra of puzzlement, with countless heads revealing more about the truthseekers than we care to admit. This question:
How many (X) does it take to change a lightbulb?
In an effort to expand the horizons of mankind's knowledge, I put forth my own observations and hope you will do the same.
How many ... does it take to change a lightbulb?
Super Mario Brothers players?
Two, color coded red and green. Then they'll also have to do it several times because usually when they open the box, there's just a note saying "try another box."
JRPG players?
Unless you're using some kind of strategy guide, you'll never know there WAS a lightbulb changing quest.
Dead Space fans?
Three or four. One to try the quick time approach, one to try the minigame approach, one that drops in and out to help and make the process less scary, and one to hold off the ravening space zombies while the others figure out how to WILL YOU HURRY UP AND FINISHING CHANGING THAT ******** THING??!?!?!?
Aperture Science simulated testers?
Three. One to make moronic (but amusing) comments about the bulb and its history, one to disparage the subject's every effort to change the bulb, and one to spend hours figuring out every conceivable way they might possibly have to change said bulb before spotting the painfully obvious 20/20 hindsight solution.
Mass Effect fans?
One, but it depends on what lightbulbs you used five years ago, and if you changed them like Dirty Harry or Captain Picard, and if you broke any other lightbulbs in the process.
Dead Or Alive Players?
Don't even bother. As soon as you've changed the bulb, two fighters are just gonna smash up the place.
OR
You can probably do it yourself, but if any of the girls are around, you may end up dropping a lot of bulbs.
Halo players?
Thirty-two. Two teams of sixteen, slugging it out on battlefields all over the galaxy in a desperate scramble to capture the bulb, get it to the socket, and screw it in before getting headshot and teabagged by a squeaky voiced truant.
Vault-tech inhabitants?
The player is the only one to touch the bulb, but you'll need to get the quest from a random NPC, then journey to other side of the map while getting distracted by numerous other bulb replacement issues and being ambushed by hundreds of critters/bandits/assorted nasties that want nothing more than to kill you and take your bulb.
Minecrafters?
Just one, but first you have to harvest the sand, then forge the glass, then mine the ore for the socket, then find the right material for the wick, then build the generator...
Anyone else found any good answers to this question of questions?
