If You Watch/Play X Backwards
« on: August 18, 2012, 05:28:24 am »
So I was just derping around on the Internet recently, and happened to stumble across the meme of stating how a movie or TV show plot would work/be interpreted if all of the events happened in reverse order.  I then thought that such a thing would make a good forum game,  Oh, and I think the idea would work for video games, too.

So I'll try to start us off.  If you watch Breaking Bad backwards, it's about pair of meth makers who slowly lose all their notoriety until one gives up on it all to become a teacher.  Oh, and they decide to stop giving him chemotherapy and stuff, so his hair grows back.

Shit....this is actually kinda hard.  I feel so not clever.

One version I saw was:

"If you watch Jaws backwards, it's about a shark that keeps throwing up people until they have to open a beach."

If you play any Legend of Zelda game backwards, it's about a guy who goes around stashing his things in well guarded, hard to reach areas before settling down in some backwater.

If you play Mario backwards, it's about a guy who goes around vomiting coins and mushrooms all over the place until a giant turtle brings some princess back to her castle.

If you watch Doctor Who backwards, you get Doctor Who, save that the Doctor ages more mundanely and develops a taste for retro.

If you watch Lion King backwards, it's about lions saving each other from falling off of cliffs.

If you watch Sleeping Beauty backwards, it's about a prince reviving a dead dragon who turns into a dark witch.  After thanking him by letting him stay at her castle, the dark witch proceeds to remove a sleeping girl's curse by putting the needle of a loom out, which wakes the girl up because she likes pricking her fingers on needles.  Then the girl goes to live happily ever after in the forest with her fairy godparents, with the prince visiting occasionally.

If you play Railroad Tycoon 3 backwards, it's about a guy who slowly dismantles a large rail network until he has exactly $100000.

Too bad it's incompatible with Windows 7. Or Vista, but who in their right mind uses Vista?

It's very easy to fix. I'm using Windows 7 64 bit and I managed to get it running relatively quickly.

If you play "Stairway to Heaven" backwards, you get a garbled mess and absolutely no backmasking. </missingthepoint>

I keep reading the title as "If You Watch X Play Backwards"

So, if you watch X-Play backwards, it's about guessing how good video game will be and THEN watching the preview to see how accurate your guess was.

If you watch Requiem for a Dream backwards, it's about people improving their lives & causing limbs to grow back by selling and using drugs.

If you watch InuYasha backwards, Miroku uses his hand to create monsters, Inuyasha has the sword that heals, Sesshoumaru has the sword that destroys.  Their swords get crappier and crappier over time, until they just give up and stash them on their father's  body.  At the end, Kagome inexplicably gets sucked out of a well and thrown into the modern era.
