YAY my plants idea made it. also, lol at... well, all of them really, but especially photojournalism and legos. I just thought of another two: Clouds and Vampires

Clouds in videogames: Spiky yellow hair, incredibly long sword, square enix posterboys, yeah...

Clouds in real life: frozen water that's less dense than air. Puffy though.
Choose which one wins

Vampires in games: Actually somehwhat frightening. Examples-Castlevania Dracula

Vampires in real life: Insert picture of twilight movie here.

one more: Marshmallows

In real life: Puffy sugar that tastes awesome and goes great w/hot chocolate

In Games: Kirby.
TIE!

Oh and reyalejandro13's comment gave me an idea about vampires...

Vampires
(i.e.: In game - a picture of Dracula from the Castlevania series.
In real life - a Twilight poster.
Winner = Video games.)

Nuclear Fallout
(Referring to Fallout)

Frogs
(i.e.:
In game - a picture of frog from Chrono Trigger.
In real life - a frog.
Winner = Video games.)

Sorry for the double post...

They should do real crime vs. videogame crime. Nico Belic would own the shit out of real life!

without Fiction we would be Nowhere, a fine example would be in Star Wars the idea of a Space platform that carries missiles using Kinetic Energy to destroy whole cities. TC's End War shows the U.s having one called Rods From God platform, and the u.S is Building one as we Speak! In halo the idea of Helljumpers, to Launch from space to earth Anywhere in 90minutes Tops has been implemented as another U.S only civilian/military research station now Being Built. and through many games, the idea of Wars being fought for money is being posed today, in PMC's, except they fight for patriotism and a little bit of money...Sad how people profit form others suffering, through war.

Monkey balls one was great. Also music defiantly real world even if you put guitar hero or rock band up there.

I thought you would have dogs and have Dog from Half-Life. Or did you do that last week and I missed it.
Snarf  - 9 months 4 days ago 
Yea they did it last week. Now I feel stupid.

They could do Valve and have a picture of all the awesome things made by them and an actual valve.
