Page From the Geek's Guide: Ten Fictional Characters I'd Love To Be

Good afternoon bones, ghouls and mundane friends,

I am your host for today, Nightmare, and welcome back to Nerd's Notebook. The first of today's posts is based solely around fiction. I, personally, am very deeply integrated into fiction, not only as an aspiring author, but also as an avid and obsessive reader; be that fantasy, sci-fi, paranormal, horror, romance, et cetera. Having said this, let us get started. In no particular order we have:

1. Cpt. Richard Ravager III (TFS Plays Fallout 4): A video game character? Yes, I am addicted to video games; good luck getting me to sell my Xbox. Hilariously, I just like the way Team Four Star goes through their playthrough of Fallout 4 as the boss Captain. Oh, and by the way, it's pronounced rav-uh-jay.

2. Dumplstiltskin (TFS Plays Bloodbourne): Simply put, yes it's another video character, but with Team Four Star at the controller, semi-drunkenly passing it between each other, the adventure always takes an often hilarious turn.

3. Amanda Ripley (Alien Isolation): A girl? Yep. That's video game character? Yes, and let me tell you why. Amanda, daughter of the movie's Ellen Ripley, is trapped aboard a space station and must use her skills as an engineer to survive the reign of terror of the Alien, the emotionless, soulless androids, and the insane human survivors. Seriously, she's just really freaking cool in general.

4. The Cullens (Stephanie Meyer's Twilight Saga): Seriously, Nightmare; a bunch of sparkling vampires? Um, hell yes!! I am the biggest Twilight fan ever; I've read the books at least ten times each (in order) and I've watched all of the movies, though they're not as amazing as the books. I would love to be a vampire already, but to be a vampire with bonus powers? Come on! What isn't to love? Not only that but the story is amazing, the plot is addicting, and the characters are just so...God, I just love these books!

5. Isaac Clarke (Dead Space Trilogy): Seriously, stop with the video game characters. How about, no. Isaac is forced to fight endless hordes of the dead and undead, known as Necromorphs, across the entire trilogy, and I find that amazing. Granted the deaths are gory, but hey, if I don't die, then I have nothing to worry about...right?

6. Christian Grey (E. L James' Fifty Shades of Grey): Um...seriously. Deathly serious. I love Fifty Shades, despite refusing to read the book originally. Filthy, stinking, disgustingly rich, and a room for a sexual fetish that I actually share, though to a mush lesser extent.

7. Percy Jackson (Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Heroes of Olympus): I love mythology as a whole, though I've done most research of the Greco-Roman, Egyptian and Norse mythologies. Originally, I was only a fan of Greek mythology, and upon reading the books in the series as they came out, I found myself wishing more and more that my deadbeat dad really was some kind of mythological God...no such luck.

8. Magnus Chase (Rick Riordan's Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard): Again, the wish of being a demi-god. I am pretty heavy into Norse mythology at the moment, since I'm more or less an unofficial expert on the Greek mythology.

9. Golden Freddy/ Nightmare Fredbear or Nightmare (Five Night's at Freddy's Franchise): I love everything about this franchise! Enough said.

10. A Shadowhunter (Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments Series): They live to kill demons, the damned and the unholy, as well as protect "the mundane" in service of the Angel, Raziel. Seriously, what an honorable way to live, but it would be great to die fighting a horde of the damned. It's kind of how I pictured my death in any case.

Page From the Gamer's Guide: Five Movies That Should Be Decision Based Video Games

In the world of video games, one of many types are decision based video games, such as Until Dawn, wherein every decision you make can and will alter the story in some way, shape, and/or form. So that got me thinking... what movies would actually make a good, or at the very least a somewhat decent decision based video game?

5. Prom Night (2008): The movie is suspenseful, and is a good, old fashioned serial killer horror movie. On the Prom Night shared by high school friends, who would make it out alive when an obsessed serial killer infiltrates the hotel the prom is being hosted at and starts picking people off just to get to a specific character?

4. Titanic: In this iconic movie, let's see if we can prevent as many people from dying, or if more people die by our hands.

3. The Perfect Guy/ Enough: In both movies, women are trapped in toxic relationships and have to escape. Both end in the death of the toxic ex-boyfriend/ spouse. How long would it take for us to reach that point with our hands on the controller or keyboard.

2. Bruce Almighty: Simply put, how would the decisions we make now differ from the ones we would make if we were gifted God's powers?

1. Blue is the Warmest Color: Literally, my all time favorite movie/ graphic novel. In the book, she dies at the end. In the movie, she doesn't. Which direction would we walk in the shoes of Clementine...or Adele in the movie.

Are there any movies you think should be on this list? Are there any movies here you feel shouldn't be? Drop a comment below and let me know. Stay weird, my friends.
