Kids, for as long as Curry Bear can remember, video games were his gateway into tranquility. There is nothing like the satisfaction of beating a game after killing thousands of bad guys, emptying a million rounds of ammo, shooting up some shroooms and in the process saving a damsel in distress. Game developers have constantly come up with new ideas and story lines for games. However, not many have focused on Indian mythology. It's an untapped market - like Lebanese girls. There's like at least 10 games based on Greek and Roman mythology. But what about us brownies? The only brown people I've ever seen in video games are Apu in The Simpsons game, the Egyptians & Persians in Age of Empires and Mohinder Suresh in the upcoming Heroes game.

But the wait is over! Some game developers are finally getting creative with Indian mythology. Sony Online Entertainment has teamed up with Virgin Comics (because anyone who still reads comic books is likely a virgin) to bring a game based on the comic book Ramayan 3392 A.D. Before you get your history mixed up, please know that the Ramayan did not take place in 3392 A.D! And if you thought that for even a second, try to remember that you're still living in 2007 A.D. and you should get on the next tiny bus to stupid town. Ramayan 3392 A.D. is a comic book series based on a story by two famous desis: Deepak Chopra (that weird Indian doctor who writes books on spirituality) and filmmaker Shekar Kapur. Though similar to the ancient tale of Ramayan, Ramayan 3392 A.D. focuses on the battle between humans and demons in a post-apocalyptic world. That's right, a nuclear third world war precedes the premise of this comic book (most likely started by some guy lighting a nuke on Diwali). And yes, there is a Ram and there is a Ravan in this comic. One thing Curry Bear doesn't get is, if Ramayan 3392 A.D. is based on Indian mythology, why is it using the Christian calendar? I mean, it kind of defeats the concept of the whole premise of the comic book.

The game will be an MMO - an acronym used by gays and nerds. For the nerds, it means Massive Multiplayer Online and for the gays, it means Massive Man Orgy. If you are not familiar with video games, MMO's are one of those games where people live in a fictional world, build up their character, and go from town to town fighting people. The best way to learn about MMO's is to find the next Asian guy you see and say the words "World of Warcraft" to his face. Curry Bear is always worried when a new MMO comes out. People start playing these games for days without eating or taking a shit. There have been hundreds of cases where people have literally died from playing games for hours. Hopefully this will be a fun game and us brown people won't go crazy playing it for hours. Future Ravan is so much cooler than ancient Ravan.

Curry Bear's wish is that hopefully a game developer will make a Kama Sutra game for the Nintendo Wii. Ohhh the physical movements I would mimick with that Wiimote....
