THE GREATEST (OR POSSIBLY STUPIDEST) IDEAS OF 2023


  • Novelty scented candles of mall hotspots like the food court and movie theater arcades
  • Super Sloppy Double Dragon
  • A game where the Konami Code can be entered on the title screen, but no confirmation or effects happen until after 9 minutes 33 seconds of game time
  • Beat-them-up based on the RoboCop cartoon
  • A "neck pain" status ailment in video game where the camera doesn't shift or rotate automatically, requiring that you use the right analog stick to move the camera at all until it's healed
  • Make one of those super long YouTube video essays entirely in portrait, and see how many hours viewers are willing to endure a vertical video. The thumbnail of this video doesn't have a face on it, so the sudden appearance of the speaker on camera will be a jump scare.
  • A game like The Oregon Trail about the Underground Railroad
  • J-Rockapella
  • Undercard for the Super Bowl
  • Falls-count-anywhere boxing matches
  • Give your child a puzzle as a gift but with one piece missing, to teach them that not everything in life goes according to plan
  • A modern remake of A Link To The Past, set in cyberspace, about the Light Web and the Dark Web
  • A mystery tournament with only games with the word "tournament" in the title
  • An underground FGC circuit, where only controllers that violate the Capcom Cup rules are allowed. It could be like that Raw Underground show but even more embarrassing to watch.
  • Get well soon cards by Jackie Chan
  • Make a new game and claim it's a port of a Nintendo DS game, and release it as a pretend emulator "running" that game
  • A hidden developer room in a video game where you can beat up the people who worked on the game, but doing so also kills you because you can't exist without them
  • Sumo wrestling with bodybuilders
  • JAVascript
  • A show that tries to deliberately contradict as many of the MythBusters' busted myths as possible, making all of the impossible stuff real
  • Fire Emblem: Three Groverhouses
  • Beat-them-up based on the Revolutionary War
  • You hear about 3D printed guns once in a while, so a gun that is itself a 3D printer, which prints the bullets on demand and then extrudes them into the target
  • Produce a indicting documentary about myself in the style of The Self-Destruction of The Ultimate Warrior, with a bunch of people talking as generally about me as possible while being negative, and release it right after my death. It's continually updated before then with crappy things I allegedly did, but the recorded interviews allude to those things without actually talking about the details so they're always current.
