Well, well, well, look who's back

• It's time for another round of VG Tinder, because the last one didn't get us bann- I mean, was a rousing success
• Before we lay out the ground rules, everyone introduce yourselves

So, what is this again?

• It's Video Game Tinder!
• Our panel will vote to swipe left or right on a variety of fake Tinder profiles I've concocted for real video game characters

Why are you doing this… again?

• To explore the depths of attachment generated by compelling video game writing and characters?
• To celebrate the enriching culture around positive fandom and the collective joy there-in?
• To laud the work of every developer who poured blood, sweat and tears into making memorable heroes, villains, companions and more?
• Yes to all that, but also
• FOR CONTENT

The rules!

• The panel has not seen any cards I've prepared
• They will have to vote and determine: swipe left or right?
• The audience is allowed, even encouraged, to judge them
• Please hoot and / or holler as you wish, whenever you feel like it.
• Even right now!
• Man, someone seriously cheered for rules…
• I do not own or lay claim to any of these characters and for legal reasons this is all parody please don't tell Nintendo they're here this year and WILL find me

Now it's your turn!

Please line up at the mics to offer any potential Tinder candidates!

Keep it civil

Don't nominate bad weird, only good weird

Thanks for attending!
