Back when EGM and its sister mag Expert Gamer were around (thank heavens they're back) they had a little feature called "What If."

This consisted of random rants about all game characters and aspects into gaming, categorized with jokes and personal fantasy.

Yeah, this isn't as great as I'd hope for, but I thought I'd try.
