So here I am, I have just finished eating my breakfast, and the same feeling I had yesterday when I first arrived at my father's house thrusted itself violently through my body as I've been hit by a lightning of addiction. I want to play the game "Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time".
I can not understand why! I have completed the game thrice, And I've gotten all theachievments a PS3 owner Can get to that awesome game. But still the desire to see our Lombax hero run around with his tail wiggling, and having some big gun in his hands blowing stuff up, apparently that decire does not want to leave me. So I decided I should share with you what I know about the game. However, since story-lines changes depending on what game it is, and since background-searching would take too long for my poor, well-used fingers to write down upon this laptop (Yes, father, I am using your laptop), I will only give you the information about the 5 characters I find worthy of mentioning: The hero. The other hero (not sidekick mind you), the mad robotic scientist, the mad robotic scientist's robotic butler, aaaaand the idiot.
Ratchet: Don't get me started on him. Isn't he cute, running around with his big fluffy ears and a lion-inspirated tail and a rocket launcher, shooting at unsuspecting enemies. Or why not shoot at civilians? Their immunity to weapons and their incapability of flying sky-high is clear, but still they well either get annoyed, frustrated, or scared. And the fact that Ratchet is the last Lombax in the universe is a good way spicing up storylines, and the matter that he's only 5 feet tall doesn't seem to bother me.
Clank: Of course! The smallest dude in the game, this robot has a soouulll *ghostly music plays* Anyway, this trusty robot hero of the game, always strapped upon Ratchet's back ready to act as a hovering tool for larger gaps, or a helicopter for going higher then normal, or to just translate the language... nerd. Allthough, not much of this is happening if he's getting kidnapped by flying things that apparently knows how to teleport things. His dry humor is always fun to see, and even when by himself, this small character can pack a punch.
Dr. Nefarious: Evil, mad genious robotic scientist all in one package. From being completely quiet and thinking to himself, to go to yelling directly into someone's face, without the need of shower inbetween, this man has got it all you expect from the antagonist. He even crashes when he gets worked up, and freezes in place, his robot brain, instead of working as the office of fixing his body to work as it should, it sends out the classical radio drama series "Lance and Janice", and the only cure is the smack on the head, most often by his trusty... butler, Lawrence.
Lawrence: Satire, sarcasm and everything else you expect from a butler. He's unimaginably mean to Nefarious, and sometimes he screws the biggest plans up deliberately. Still he always saves his master, despite the fact that he hates his job. There are also rumors of him being homosexual, and a little male to male robotic kindness is always a plus in a game. Hey, we all know it is! It shows that Insomniac is open-minded.
Captain Copernicus Leslie Qwark: Big muscles, smallest brain and clumsiest coordination you can see. In so many ways is he the classical hero is in reality is nothing but a failure. Somehow still, he has tons of fans, and in the upcoming games, he's even the galactical president! But still, either if it is by his astounding way of declaring that it is a good day to die, since he's got clean underwear, only to when they are safe, say "So much for clean underwear", or if it is his astoundingly failed way to dress up as the "lovely nurse Shannon" and still successfully go undercover, one have to admire his feats. Even though he doesn't go into an adventure by himself, still this man voluntarily goes into an adventure, if pressed up against the wall about the subject, and his plans for infiltrating evil impenetrable head-shaped fortress filled with traps and windows are a must for a succeeded mission. The fact that his plans always goes wrong the moment he says "mission accomplished", which he does all the time, is soon a thing of the past.
Phew, that was a lot. I wrote this hoping it would take off some of my Ratchet and Clank fever so I could play some other delicate game. I do not think it has worked, it has simply wanted me to play more. But thanks to my stone-hard discipline, and possibly my need of getting something else stone-hard a bit softer, I will run to the shower and clean up! And then, to eternity, and beyond!
