Okay, so I have access to someone who knows NOTHING about games. NOTHING.

Showed her a Mario cap, she did not know what it was.

So, let's expolit this all we can.

I showed her this: and asked her what she thought the game was about:

After about 7-8 seconds, she said, "Well... it looks like... is that the back of a car? -- is it a car driving game?"

So, drop your cover suggestions here and I'll report back.

Oh awesome!!! This will be like when I had the boy give video games new titles based on what he thought of the box art. I've got ideas. I will return shortly!

I'm curious to see if she'll pick up the Disney connection since it was subtle in the first cover. Plus bitches love Disney.

Got to know what she thinks about the original piece of shit box art.

And this one is probably cheating but. . .

And if that one wasn't cheating, this one definitely is:

You guys should give me some really famous mainstream ones too. Remember she has not heard of Final Fantasy, Final Fight, Uncharted. Nothing.

I showed her this:

and when she stopped laughing she said, "Some kind of porn game... with lions?" When pressed she said, "Like an Indiana Jones type game... with lions?"

You know, this cover art actually does a pretty good job in summing up what the game is about.

If you want mainstream, you might as well show her the most popular game on the planet right now:

I can;t wait to show her these. I'll have to do it sereptiously, not just show her this thread though.

I bet she says "LEGO game about a boy with a dog" for Minecraft.

It would be hilarious if she starts to describe every cover as, "A porn game with..."

"A porn game with a fish with a big mouth?"

"A porn game with a boy with a big stick?"

Video games are borderline porn anyway, so she'd be right. Nyaa

Well if she's going to think all games are porn, you might as well show her this:

I was at a Fry's Electronics where there were Playboy models signing this game.

I did not do it.

I regret it more than anythng more I have ever done in my life. Including the time I bought Argyle pantyhose and wore it under my clothes for 4 months.
