Ha-ha! Nice! Now what shall my character be...?

(Please note: I have very little gaming experience with the exception of Poptropica and Minecraft, so my character may turn out... weird.)

OH! Oh! Moment of realization... this has nothing to do with this but do you think the ginat bugs in Wreck it Ralph were an idea stolen from ENDER'S GAME? Doubt it.

Okay, will I ever write anything but annoying comments?

Percy Plus-sign lay back, weary. After cloning himself so many times so Avery Avatar (sorry, I'm just not feeling creative) could help the player add and subtract numbers. Then, MAYBE, if you pass level four, you could multiply and divide. Percy knew no one cared about the little pluses and minuses on the screen, they cared about Avery and winning. Sam subtract-sign was just snotty about it though. He loved his job, and the thing he loved right after his job was torchering Percy. "Come on, guys!" yelled Avery. "We've got a new player!" 

Percy couldn't help but groan.

When he got to Frogger, they were all waiting for him. "Hey Leonard," they said. "Long day?" "Yeah," said Leonard. "Six-hundred thirty people played the game today! I know cause I looked at the high score records in the data chip." "Hmm," they said. "Well, it could have been worse,"

"How?" 

"Seven hundred and thirty people could have played." They laughed. And so Leonard hung around all night, and fell asleep.

The next morning, the arcade opened and people streamed in. A kid walked over to the Big News of Fire console and began playing. But Leonard was still back in Frogger, lying in a ditch on the side of the road that the frog crossed. The kid manuvered Elbow, but there was no News Carrier. "Where's the News Carrier?" the kid said. "The game must be busted. Maybe if I unplug it and plug it back in again." The kid unplugged the console and the screen went black, and all the inhabitants of the game were sucked into the viod. Then he plugged it back in. The game program rebooted its engine, creating a new Elbow and a new News Carrier. The kid played the game and had a good time, and everything went great.

But back in Frogger, Leonard woke up in the ditch. "What am I doing here?" he thought. "I've got to go to work back in my game!" He left, thinking the game would probably be labeled out-of-order by now. But when he got there, no one seemed to think he was part of the game. "Go away, you," said Elbow. "Someone's playing." "But I'm part of this game," said Leonard. "I'm the News Carrier," Said Elbow, "You must be a glitch. We already have a News Carrier. The game was just plugged in." 

"This game has been plugged in for twenty-five years!" Leonard said. And then, it all came to him. He hadn't been here, so someone had unplugged the game in an effort to "fix" it. But no one would let him explain. They all shoved him into the trash can. "Because you belong in the trash, deleted!" they all said. Leonard resolved that he would have to get the game back the way it was, cause nothing was ever deleted for good. He set out...
