Off The Wall Crossovers

More than half the week is over and its close to halfway through my training at my new job. The evening commute home from the office for these past few days are really getting to me in terms of exhaustion. The change in schedule currently makes my blog updates are bit more delayed. But nonetheless I'll press on with what I have on my mind.

Decided to get off the wall and somewhat out of the box with some crazy ideas that percolated briefing in my head. Crazy ideas are the more spontaneous variety as compared to the regular kind that would require some processing time. I'll enumerate them now.

Metal Gear Alias - An interesting mix of characters and intrigue that's the trademark in their respective stories. How about combining both? It may be a bit overkill in terms of the espionage and action but it would prove pretty exciting indeed.

Certain creative liberties are called for to blend the respective plot hooks and characters to have a good blend from their respective stories. Solid Snake ("David") was sent in to the Shadow Moses facility to rescue important people there and assess the capability of the terrorists holding it. Mountaineer ("Sydney Bristow") was sent in given relevant intel pertaining to the terrorists involved and moreso on the retrieval or destruction of a device derived from a Rambaldi artifact that is to be placed inside a new war machine. Given that, their missions will definitely overlap. Besides Mountaineer and Snake teaming up, same goes with Marshall Flinkman and Hal Emmerich (Otacon). The support team would be just as interesting a mix, Father figures Roy Campbell and Jack Bristow for sure. Haven't done the full run down on the roster of characters for the full refit. As to the villains, I would toss it in that the group headed by Liquid Snake is actually sponsored by the Covenant and Julian Sark is present as well to oversee the operation along with Liquid, given that Covenant is well aware of Revolver Ocelot's involvement within the Russian SpecOps and Intelligence communities. Lauren Reed and Sniper Wolf would make a good tag-team of snipers to give a very hard time for Snake and Mountaineer. As to mysterious characters which are actually supposed dead people, I decided to go with Grey Fox and Sydney's ex-boyfriend turned spy/assasin Noah Berg and have them converted as cyborgs under the sponsorship of the Covenant. It would be quite a challenge for Snake and Sydney to take out Metal Gear Rex and a showdown with Liquid Snake and Sark.

Alias McBeal - A really crazy idea of combining the elements from two respective shows. This is just a strange neurotic twist to the basic premise as well as putting some craziness in the routine world that we know. Sydney would probably be visiting Dr.Barnett more often than usual like 2 or 3 sessions per mission called for. Some crazy stuff is sure to happen and Marshall Flinkman would definitely have more comedy done to full effect for it.

That's about it for the meantime. Still have to adjust my sleep patterns to get some creative productive done. Next time. *Spy music playing from the doghouse.*
