Hmmm, sounds a bit like Rod Serling huh???.... You know, that guy from "Twilight Zone Fame", yeah that one...
Consider this for a moment, LifeTime Gamer as a "Sitcom", "Cartoon Show" or "Video Game Store Chain", where you get greeted by some Old Fart using a cane and half your size... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, now I got your attention....
While out Faking Fishing We/I have been working on this idea, of course it's been in the back of my mind for years... The Premise is mostly real life with some other characters thrown in for more comic relief...
LifeTime Gamer is a Real Life Musician from a Small Town in a relatively laid back state with most of his career long gone and he is left with just simple jobs to make ends meet and Video Games to keep him from going totally crazy because he can not get back on stage and Rock like he did in the 70's...
Royalties will not make You Rich Forever he has found out after all these years (I can still get on stage and rock tho... hehe) so he has to get what he can...
Basically he has a very small house with 2-bedrooms which he shares with two Grandchildren that his own children decided they could not take care of (this part is not true)...
One of the kids is a go getter and wanting to take on the world, make something of himself and the other is pretty much usless and sees the world as Free For The Taking and will do anything to get a free ride from anyone he encounters (Jail Time Included)...
Of course we have the usual Neighbors that go Nutz at 2 in the morning when Gramps Cranks up his Marshalls and starts wailing on Old Guitar Solos' that made him famous so many years ago.. hehe, and all the friends of the youngsters that happen to show up when they think something cool is going on like maybe a Metallica Lick here or there (not gonna happen.. well maybe one or two)...
The rest is being finished so just wait...
More Later...
