Alter Ego (game)

[Crash]

After a long, but very relaxing day, with a deep sigh you climb into bed and sink into the warm, cushiony fabric. As you drift off, feelings of intense serenity and well-being overwhelm you. Pleasant images of childhood visit with sweet memories of Mom and Dad, school, and growing up.

The memories flash by your mind's eye with startling reality -- the smell of school on your first day, the outfit your very first girlfriend wore on your first date. You recall places you haven't visited for years in picture-perfect detail. Friends and neighbors who have gone on greet you.

They are filled with excitement to see you, though you soon realize they are not communicating their joy in words. It's almost as if...



this will go on forever...

You have died.

Darn, I wanted to have an interesting death.

That's the spirit! You try out for your position and make the STARTING TEAM. In the ninth inning, a high pop fly is hit directly to you. You thrust out your glove in an attempt to field the ball. The excitement of the play fills your whole body...

The ball THUNKS solidly into the glove, knocking you off-balance. Your heart is beating furiously from the thrill of making the play. You feel happy and carefree, just like a child again. Suddenly, the field begins to fade and turn black.

The last thing you see are players from both benches running out to greet you for making such a great play. Something's wrong. You can't run toward them. Your body and hands won't respond to your wishes, but instead of feeling frustration, you feel great peace. How you only wish you could have said good-bye.

You have died.

Probably shouldn't get too active in old age.

Dammit, I went the same way.

[The Pletch]

Tried this time, died during coronary bypass. Oh well.

^Got this.

Also, WHY DID A CRAZY LADY GIVE ME 50'000 DOLLARS? Stuff like that never happens...

...To me...

[Naem]

Also, WHY DID A CRAZY LADY GIVE ME 50'000 DOLLARS? Stuff like that never happens...

I got that too. I have a feeling that if this really happened IRL and if I were so willing to help as I was in the game, I would have been brutally murdered by that lady.

Who founded the American Federation of Labor?

Select an action :
GEORGE MEANY
SAMUEL GOMPERS
JOHN SMITH

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THIS

[Shiver]

I got to middle age, then I got bored with it, divorced my wife, neglected my child, blew all my money, quit my job, and was very negative to the neighbor's dog.

The middle answer is ALWAYS CORRECT.
...At least it was for me.

[Oberstleutnant Insipid]

Game's depressing. I keep having to consult psychologists about that too, by the way.

Why are there no options to join extremist groups? D:

[The Pletch]

Yeah, all the intelligence-boosting questions related to history are extremely US-centric. Sorry, Dooms.

[Tené]

Yeah, the guy points out on his "wishlist" that most questions are US-centric. Though some are generic (eg "who was the father of modern chemistry") And you have at least an okay chance of guessing them right.

I am tortured, raped and killed as a little kid. :\

Sig'd.

[ShardNet]

I played this ages ago.

I chose everything wrong and died of old age.

Somehow

You didn't meet CAR-MAN?

[Oberstleutnant Insipid]

Yeah, because if you did everything wrong, you would have died in childhood from the man in the car.

EDIT: FYI, I said n0 and got away from him. STRANGER DANGER

...How many of you guys actually died there? xD;
