Games Characters in their day jobs

Fame doesn’t last forever. They have to do something, and by golly if they want to support their glamorous and adventurous lifestyles then they’ll have to find something they’re good at pretty fast, or else down the job center it is, and soon they’ll be on the streets drinking tramp juice outside of Euston Station asking every poor soul who passes if they recognise who they are....

1) John Marston: FARMER

John Marston: Left the old (Exciting) life behind.

So you skinned those 5839207523 animals. So you herded those buffalo and fell asleep in the process. Soldier (cowboy) I think you’re ready for the farmers lifestyle! No more bandits! No more sombreros! Just cows, chicken and weight gain! I’d like to think that John Marston’s farming lifestyle led to the development of Lurpak.

2. Sackboy: PIN CUSHION

Little Big Planet became corrupt, with politicians philandering with their points bubbles and getting all the sack girls up the duff. Sackboy couldn’t take it anymore and moved back to the real world. Having to proof of existence in this reality, the only job he could get was in a child labour factory in Taiwan working as a pincushion. Depressing as this is, his appearance did cheer up the kids.

3: Cole: TUBE POWER-UPPER

Lots of spare time and a move to London meant that TFL (Transport for London) guilt tripped Cole into powering the tube system for London. Not only are the working hours terrible, but Cole is often known to show evil tendencies to making the northern line go 120mph if he’s in a bad mood.

4: Drake: VOICE ACTOR

Of course, if you’ve ever played a game, you’ve probably seen or heard the name NOLAN NORTH. And I imagine if Drake was real, he would end up just exactly like Nolan North, since Nolan North practically is Drake anyway. The near future would spawn the release of Artifical Voice Intelligence, and it the lack of work Drake would become a bum.
