It can’t be up to much, dating as a video game protagonist. You are always involved in some sort of all absorbing story, dominating your time, taking over your life and then even when you finally manage to sort out what the problem/drama/threat is, you are most likely chucked back into it again a year or so down the line.
I think it must be a desperately lonely life for these game characters, as dating must be out of the question. Even meeting people at parties must be hard, after all, who’s going to invite someone to a party when there is a 99% chance that they won’t be able to attend due to saving the world/stopping the evil people doing evil stuff/fighting in the world warrior arena.
I’d imagine the only way these people get any contact from the other sex is by using the good old dating pages in their local papers, as this way they can take their time, filter through the replies and try to find someone who matches their likes and dislikes. It just so happens that I have a few of these adverts to hand:
I guess being a world famous superhero or icon really isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, and I can’t help but feel that life would probably be a bit easier for them if they just used Facebook to let the world know what they were up to.
I have some of those status updates, but that’s a story for another time.

another downside is the 90% chance that a date will end in a gunfight, killing the protagonists love interest and sparking a revenge orientated sequel.
