UPDATE: Explain Dragon Ball Z In Three Sentences And Win The New Game
I have never seen a second of Dragon Ball Z. I at least know it's a TV show, but I have no idea if it came from a movie, a manga, or what. I know that one of the dudes has yellow hair, and I think something crazy happens when he gets a Super Sakebomb or something. From what I understand, it has to do with electricity and fireballs or something. I don't know.
Sitting next to me are a dozen copies of the new PSP game Dragon Ball Z: Tenkaichi Tag Team. All you have to do is explain as much of the plot of Dragon Ball Z to me as you can in three sentences or less, and the twelve best will win a free copy. I'll leave the contest open until sometime on Monday morning, and I'll accept responses via comments on this post, my Twitter page, or emails to dan@gameinformer.com. Since I don't know a thing about the series/game/whatever, I'll probably lean towards the funniest entries rather than the most accurate. I'll update this post with the winners on Monday. Have fun.
UPDATE
Alright, here are our winners. If you see your name here, send me a message on the site with your mailing address.
(all spelling in context)
Warbuff
Fajita, what does the scouter say about his power level?
It's over Nine Thousand!
What, NINE THOUSAND?
Shadowtribal
Yellow Spiky Haired dudes, walk around kicking dudes. When they kick them, they like to point and laugh, sometimes misunderstood as yelling or battlecrying. When they go home they have tournaments where they fight playdough, grapeface, and a dude who likes to have sex with his tail.
STANG KO
Aliens come to earth and turn into giant monkeys. Other aliens seem to have a prejudice towards these giant monkeys and are constantly to trying to kill them. Monkeys get small again, has blond hair and begins to pretend he's a power ranger with fireballs.
Tristan
enemies from cheesy 60's sci-fi come to earth. One fight last approximately 23 and a half episodes with one "super powerful ruby weapon status earth shattering kaboom" only slightly killing the jerk. Rinse and repeat 5 or 6 times, and you have DBZ in a nutshell :)
ChupaNibre19
A bunch of dudes are trying to get some balls. Some other dudes already have the balls, so they need to take their balls from them; so they can have balls. All of this happens while the characters orgasm during fights.
David Williams
Kame. Hame. Ha.
Symon
Bad guy shows up, Goku dies then comes back and kicks his ass. Stronger bad guy shows up, Goku dies then comes back, grows out his hair and dyes it a shade of blond, kicks his ass. Even stronger bad guy shows up, Goku dies then comes back, grows out his hair more and dyes it a new shade of blond, kicks his ass, repeat X 1000.
Michael Eaton
Dragon Ball Z is about a group of horrible parents who send there infant child to Earth to go ape ****, literally, on the planet. Their kid grows to be a fighter who befriends everyone from a talking piece of pork to a perverted pedophile and they all go after shining orbs created by a zombie looking alien. Along the way the writers got lazy and drug battles on for weeks at a time, even though in dbz time it was only a couple minutes, and the good guys win and celebrate by fighting.
Somonak Kao
1. Big ***(es) comes to Earth, heroes get wrecked, lots of explosions and occasional yelling.
2. Said heroes power up to be badder than said big ***(es), more explosions and more yelling.
3. Back to Step 1. Add more explosions and yelling.
Luke Hudman
Everyone is super ripped monkey aliens with super chizzled abs. They all want seven weird balls that make a dragon genie who grants wishes. Every level that they get stronger they get porcupine sharp hair that continues to glow blonde regardless of their hair color
Tommy Benson
Akira Toriyama doodles some buff dudes fighting and throwing fireballs at each other in his notebook.
Some animation company approaches him and asks if he can turn his art into a series about some mystical Dragon Balls that promotes courage and strength and standing up for yourself in the face of insurmountable odds.
Toriyama-san agrees but only if he can name all of the principle characters after vegetables for some reason.
Matthew Liu
A group of ten people who get laid, die at least 5 times each, resurrect 20 times each, turn out to be aliens, and kill every single bad guy possible because "as long as there's two people left on the planet, someone's going to want someone dead". Oh, and they all have power levels of over 9,000.
