Alt-Country Video Game

April 7th 2008 in Humor, alt.country

Stacy Chandler at Hickory Wind has posted her husband Geoffrey’s matrix of a vision of an alt-country video game detailing artists, settings and powers. A sample:

Artist: Ryan Adams

Setting: A back alley behind Quizno’s at 4 a.m. or The Austin City Limits stage

Powers: Two fighting modes – “Greasy dopemups mode” where he can just sit there and take all kinds of damage

“Rage filled dopemups mode” where he gets a phone and the opponent is suddenly holding an answering machine to be the target of a blistering verbal assault

Hilarious!
