Let's make up stories!

[Arbitrary Cidin]

A lot of games don't actually have a story to them, particularly arcade titles and games like Team Fortress 2. Now I know that a few of you are already trying to find this [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/the-needles/6502-History-Lessons] article from a few weeks ago, so let me rephrase that. A lot of games don't have obvious stories and plots. So what do we do about that? We make some up, that's what.

Make sure you keep it clean, no fan fictions about the pilots from Space Invaders and Galaga getting it on. Feel free to add on to someone else's story, or make your own if they already did one for that game. It doesn't need to be a page long either. A simple "The people from TF2 are clones made by Black Mesa" is fine.

If any of them get good, I'll post summaries of them, and revise them over time, in spoilers here:

Spoiler: Team Fortress 2

Nine pairs of twins are at war. One of each twin fights for Red or Blue, and why? for the love of their mother. Yes, each pair of twins was born of the same mother, a woman you will hear commanding them via intercom through the game. Why does she do this? She aims to use her children's affection as an instrument for global domination...

Uhhh, shameless plug number 1, and shameless plug number 2.

But to keep my post form being all shameless plugs, let me add that the whole story about the G-Man in Half-Life is actually very simple. He's simply an inter-dimensional insurance broker who unleashes Gordon Freeman so that insurance prices sky-rocket and he makes a killing. There ya go! Piece of cake!

Team Fortress 2 is a war between twins..One twin turns red and the other is blue, that is why they look the same and they are fighting over, well I am not real sure.

What you don't know is that the story of Halo is ENTIRELY real.

Who is the announcer lady, giving orders to the characters who are actually clones in order to overtake the world.

Oblivion, your character is really your character from Saints Row 2, hallucinating in the grip of their coma...

There once was a banana named Jim who fell out of his tree and was shipped to a Morrisons in England. Your job? to return to the jungle whilst avoiding the ravenous monkeys and small children. Collect the banana stickers on your way if you can.

left 4 dead: bill is a vetren red solider form the red.vs.blue war from TF2, zoey was a pyro in training(working under the assumption that the pyro is a girl of course.), Louis was the illigetamite offspring of a blue demo-man and the girl from portal, Frances was a red sniper before he became disillusioned by the red's and decided to become a vein popping biker. and the zombies are GLADOS' (not sure about were the capitals go, so i put it all in caps, and i'm also not sure about the spelling either.) last ditch effort to kill the portal girl, but they took several years to become widespread.

Yes, but she announces for both teams at the same time, doesn't she? Unless Mother Red and Mother Blu had identical children after stealing the fathers of each of the nine men from one another. Their lifelong rivalry is now being driven through their children, who they raised to be combat geniuses!
