In the spirit of creativity found in abundance on Giantbomb forums, you are challenged to compose a Videogame-Related Haiku.  But first, what is a Haiku?


It's a form of Japanese poetry consisting of three lines of  5, 7, & 5 syllables.  Haikus can be funny, serious, boastful, whatever.  Let yourself be inspired by videogames of years past, or peeved by broken new releases.  Just jot down a few lines, its that simple.

Here are the rules:
1)  Must be a Haiku
2)  Must be Videogame-Related


Some food for thought:
What about playing online do you find frustrating?
Can't beat a certain level?
Do you feel cheated by gamestop?


Here are a few to start:

I am the Red Knight
Castle Crashing all your base.
Zap, DPS for the win.

Camping prone, online.
.50 cal drops loud rude kids.
Whines make sweet music.

Getting owned by Jaws
Who turned on slappers only?!
Sigh, Mostly Harmless.


Now tap into your creative side...

Under the original definition of haiku, that is technically correct.

Grenade launchers and
Automatic pistols make
A great expansion.

Roaming the Wasteland
Three hunting rifles in hand
Repair skills too low.

Not bad.  Here's my inappropriate stab at something Halo related.

Both blue and busty
Would insert my U.S.B.
Into Cortana.

Came to start new life
Turns out I cannot escape
Things will never change                         -GTA 4


Rolling down the street
Board under me as always
Have to land this trick                               - Skate 2


Thump, thump, thump, squeak, squeak
They run down the court again
Shoot the J, shoot it!                                 - NBA 2K9


Activate O-D
Score points like never before
Just keep that combo                              - Rock Band 2


Pop, pop, I'm a cop!
Are you holdin'? Damn, you're clean
This game kind of sucks...                     - True Crime Streets of L.A.


licker? Not scary
Chainsaw majini? Yeah right
Aligators? Shit!                                           - Resident Evil 5


The 80s were sweet
Driving round town, bumping tunes
Is Lance Vance dead yet?                         - GTA Vice City


Wandering the Land
God is celestial brush
I will restore peace                                    - Okami


I roam the castle
Are these recycled sprites?
Shit! It's Dracula!                                          - Castlevania (any of them on the DS)

OK that's all I've got. Well I could keep thinking of more but I think I have taken up enough space with this post already.   :P

The Vice City haiku has a distinct lack of "In The Future, There Will Be Robots," which makes me sad beyond belief.

Eggs good for eating
But make for substandard game
Stick to Sonic please

Metal Policeman
I'd buy that for a dollar
Break disk with a bat

(Did I leave my iron on?... No, of course not... I don't... I don't own an iron)

Dragonball is dumb
But not as dumb as all the
People that like it

3 now. 1 to come
The fourth should come with candy
Anime sucks too

Wrestlers can drive cars
What a genious idea, eh?
Bargain bin for you

(That guy just dropped half a sandwich in that garbage can, I could... no... best to... leave that there)

Rio Hazuki
Shenmu, Second coming? No
Give it 6.8
