Choose Your Weapon - by Chris Gerringer

Jumping on the bade dude’s head only gets you so far, that’s why the Gods of Gaming created weapons. In this series, Chris reviews some of the most memorable vidya gaem weapons from Dedede’s Hammer to totally cheap and should probably be made illegal RCP-90 from Goldeneye. I’m still looking for the Vampire Killer from Castlevania, but I’d settle for the Cream Pie. Check out a few more over at Chris’ deviantart

While the last post was for a bookish girl, this one is for the gamer girl at insanelygaming. Mallory’s blog shares wonderful video game images and music, including artsy and funny interpretations of classic gaming themes. Seeing her posts make me remember a not-so-distant past when I feverishly gamed. I smile every time I see an image of Ash Ketchum on her blog. One of my all-time favorite games is the Blue Version of Pokémon for Gameboy. I love that game for the same reason I enjoy a lot of minimalistic music; it is so simple to understand and play, yet profoundly imaginative. I wrote this song today for Mallory because her blog made me remember the good times I had playing that game. When I was a boy, the thought of a girl who played video games seemed more mythological and magical than dragons. So, this song posits a ridiculous way I could get Mallory in my life if I lived in the world of Pokémon, using a Ditto. I think anyone can enjoy this tune, but aficionados of the first-generation Pokémon games will revel in the references (I hope the intro/solo is recognizable).

I’m tired of living

a Blue Version life.

Day after day,

everything appears more wild.

I’m gonna hang up my red cap,

and quit the gyms.

‘Cause I got a plan

to fill my life with love again.

I’m gonna catch me a Ditto

and have it read your website.

And when it transforms into you

I’ll ask it to be my wife.

Cause I don’t got to catch them all.

I just got to catch one like you.

We’ll settle down in Pallet Town,

and I’ll build a bird house.

Pidgeys will come from all around

to play in our yard.

We’ll grow Cut flowers in the garden

and go Surf at the beach,

and we’ll Fish with my Old Rod

for Magikarp.

We’ll go spelunking in caves

with our Flash(lights),

and Dig our escape

from all those Zubats.

CHORUS

On days you don’t feel special,

I’ll brew you elixirs

to restore your PP

(and your feelings for me).

We’ll teach you

how to swallow your laughter,

so you don’t ever return

to your true form.

I’ll finally be a Master

of a household.

You’ll fill every page

of my heart’s Pokédex.

CHORUS

Note from InsanelyGaming: No one has ever wrote a song for me, this is truly beautiful, thanks :)
