So let's discuss what would (should?) happen with the eventual release of a Twilight videogame (if it ever does).

*Dakka Nerdrage button primed*

If it happens the nerdrage will register on Earthquake sensors.

It must have a way to kill off every freaking character from the series in some sort of horrible manner, including the author. Oh and be free!

The Twilight character death simulator!

Sparkly emo vampires, meet exploding stake launcher... Hilarity ensues!

The werewolves get to deal with the neutron-powered rolled-up newspaper. Bad doggie! Bad!

doh double post, sorry.

It would be a dating sim if one looks at the books and the target audience.

All your nerd rage just makes me stronger!

Horrible things would ensue. Not only nerdrage, but pure, simple, unadulterated RAGEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every man, woman, child, and animal with enough sense to see Twilight for the Devil Incarnate that it is will do everything in their power to destroy the game and all copies of the book,
ensuring that future generations will only have to deal with it as a passing history lesson.

And all who read the book, saw the movie, or who were in any way involved with spreading the epidemic to others will be put to death. T

The lives lost will be catastrophic, but it is a price that we must be willing to pay to survive.

^that. I are agreeing with GES.

DEATH TO TWILIGHT!

Twilight vampires are responsible for the release of the bludanglez codex...

For this they must die!!!! (again)

Maybe they could release it as some sort of Twilight Vs. Aliens type game; then 'forget' to 'balance' the two sides Meaning we could all spend happy hours crawling along ceilings and eating vampires.

it would have to be on the DS as this is the only console the girls who would buy this game would own, i don't really see what the point of the game would be:

'you stopped yourself from having sex with a girl so you don't kill her, +10 point'

Edward gets a nasty case of chestburster

Oh god imagine the alien produced...

If the game gets released,one word:EXTREMINATUS.

Sigged.

The general nerd populace would grow even more elitist and detached from any one or thing of actual consequence, including, but not limited to, female interaction, having friends who do things besides play games, having anything to talk about with someone who isn't a nerd or not living up to a stereotype they themselves perpetuate.

It isn't specifically licensed as such, but I'm sorry to say that I did see a new MMORPG in production about the battle between Werewolves and Vampires. It was called Midnight, and probably toes the lines of copyright infringement quite expertly.

^^
Sounds more like Underworld to me. That would be an awesome mmo.

This. Last time I checked, nobody was being strapped to chairs and forced to watch Twilight, 'Clockwork Orange'-style. I can only assume that any computer game based on the popular Twilight franchise would operate along the same lines. Don't like it? Dont watch/read/play it.

Thank you for that.

WEll, usually i would agree, but, Twilight are bads. We must purge it from our society and banish Stefanie Myers to pluto

I assume there are tons of panties twilight hasn't put in a twist. In fact they probably outnumber the lifeless weabon nerds that actually care about a tween film trilogy about vampire boys so much that I've heard more bitching about it than actual material related to the film.

The ^ is also pointing to the greatest Rommel quote ever

It has come full circle, bashing on people who bash on Twilight is now "in".

I have to agree with Alba here,I don't quite get the "MURDER EVERYONE WHO LIKES TWILIGHT!!" frame of mind,sure it's a silly little film,but then it's target audience is silly little girls...if your not one,you most likely won't enjoy the films.
Now,I do admit to having my own "Twilight rage",but that was mostly due to the fact that I had no idea what I was going to see (a friend recomended it saying it was a "Great vampire movie...becuase my wife says so" ),30 minutes into the film I was like "What the feth..." , but that's the point,I saw that it was a silly piece of gak...so I don't watch it (them).

Or is it that people who needlessly bitch about things to look cool has been out this whole time?

Yep, nothing worse than listening to teenage nerds whining about how girls have taken over 'their' thing.

Youth is wasted on the young.

Repressing your loathing for Twilight is a necessary evil for hanging around girls nowadays.

Totally worth it.

Not so sure about that,at least with the 25 and up "crowd".
Besides,most of the women I know A) Have no interest in Twilight at all -or-B) Think it's gak -or-C) have no idea what Twilight is.
