What if you ran a company you like...

...y'know, I can't believe I forgot to mention firing Knaak and hiring more people with half a skill to write tie-ins...

If I ran SEGA, I would release a game called Sonic Next-Gen. It would have all the classic designs, would be completely 2d, would have the back-to-basics gameplay system, would include no extra characters (just Sonic and Eggman, maybe Tails in the sequel and Knuckles in the third),and would have all the classic zones and enemies. That way, when the fans complain that it's just a Wii port of Sonic 1, I'll say that I gave them exactly what they wanted.

Cue the massive shitstorm.

I would cancel The Croods, etc, in favor of a new hand drawn film (Sharkslayer).

I would run News Corp. Then I'd turn it all around, get rid of the sensationalism in FOX News, the Sun etc., shrink the entire company, and then sell the stocks at £0.02/unit.

But before all that, I'd take out all of the money, and then I'd spite Murdoch by getting ALL of the news outlets to give an anti-Murdoch report.

Then, I watch his face while he dies because of the fact he has no power.

And then, people will rejoice because I have freed them from his anti-competition ways.

If I Ran Cartoon Network:

1. I would try (and I mean TRY) to reboot Invader Zim on Cartoon Network. Or at least run reruns of it on there, since Nick is trying to bury Zim in a deep, dark spot.

2. I would cancel any upcoming live action shows, and only rerun the live action shows on sundays or saturdays, at probably 9:00 in the morning, in case any people still watch live action shows.

3. I would hire experienced, talented and original cartoon writers to make new cartoons to replace the live action shows.

4. I would work heavily on the upcoming Adventure Time movie to plan for it, to make it the best. Hopefully it could possibly get a theater release.

5. I would give Dreamworks Dragons one more season, before giving it a finale. I don't hate it, I just don't want it to be like Monsters vs. Aliens the Show. I don't want it to be "that dreamworks show that ruined my weekend."

6. I would give all the best rated Cartoon Network shows a bigger budget to allow them to have more freedom to animate and write what they need. Ex. I would give Amazing World of Gumball writers about 1000 dollars so he can get more creative with what he needs.

7. I would try to get Courage the Cowardly Dog rebooted. It would have a good, long running plot and all the antagonists would make big and small appearances. I hope to make it better then Scooby Doo Incorporated.

8. NO MORE LOONEY TUNES SHOW.

9. I would make a show based off of Wreck It Ralph. That movie was better then Monsters vs Aliens and Madagascar combined, and THEY got shows! Wreck It Ralph is more deserving of its own show.

And finally

10. I would make a Cartoon Network game that was like Nicktoons Unite, as in, all the Cartoon Network characters teaming up in a side-scrolling 3D character-switching tag-team battling adventure. The characters that were the most popular and well-known/liked would get more focus, while the less popular ones would either be enemies, background characters or unlockables.

PERFECT!

If I ran Gainax, I would pay the BBC to air Neon Genesis Evangelion at 7:00 on Saturdays on BBC One, and then release the show in Region 2 as a boxset for a low price, exploiting the fact that the western licence for NGE has expired.

Umm...

If I ran the IOC, the following would become Olympic sports:

• Hide & Seek
• Le Parkour
• British Bulldog
• Laser Tag
• Medieval Mob Football
• Trolling
• BASE Jumping
• It
• Capture the Flag
• Truth or Dare

All of these events would be held at the same time, within the Olympic Park. Hilarity Ensues.

If I ran Nintendo, this is what I would do:

1: Ban all Multiplatform titles from the next Batch of Nintendo Consoles (And the Wii U if I immediately take the job). Let's face it, Multiplats do not sell on Nintendo Consoles, and this gives 3rd parties the Excuse to not bother working on Nintendo Consoles. Banning Multiplats from Nintendo Consoles only makes sense both for Nintendo (So 3rd parties don't screw them over) and for 3rd Parties (So that they aren't screwed over).

2: Ban all EA Games, period. EA has made it clear, time and time again, that they hate Nintendo. Not only by the decisions the company has made, but by there workers as well (So far, 2 big names in EA have bashed Nintendo very very hard). It may seem immature, but it only makes sense. Besides, EA has never liked Nintendo since it's inception, so we're really doing them a favor by not bothering us or us bothering them.

3: Buy Very Talented 3rd Party studios and make them 2nd Party. This is one part of the 3 part response from loosing Multiplats and EA: Buying smaller 3rd Parties to join the halls of Nintendo. Sega and Platinum are obvious choices, and since Sega owns Atlus, they too would join. But it wouldn't just be Sega, Platinum and Atlus. There are a few other companies we would eye: One company is Double Fine. These guys, as well as their President, Tim Schafer, are video game geniuses, but have the misfortune of never getting backing from others for too long (EA, Activision, and Majesco specifically). We'd fix that by buying 33-45% of their company's stocks, and then getting the rights to Psychonauts and Brutal Legend. Namco Bandai is another one, both for Pacman, Tekken and Soul Caliber exclusivity, and because Nintendo already owns 7% of their Stocks. Lastly, Capcom, which has been seeing some dark times, save the Monster Hunter series, is just a perfect candidate for Nintendo (Do the words "Reviving Mega Man" speak to you?)

4: Expand like Crazy. Part two of the plan involves Making more 1st Party studios. Nintendo has plenty of money in their banks to do this. Specifically, I'm thinking 5 new Japanese Studios, 3 new American Studios, and 2 new European Studios. The 5 Japanese studios will be meant to create New long-running IP's. One of the American studios will become "Nintendo Sports", which is meant to create Once-A-Console Sport titles and Mario Sports games. The other two will create New Shooter IP's, and hopefully, we can get Warren Specter to be a part of one of these Studios (I know he's semi-retired, but hopefully we can convince him otherwise). Lastly, the European Studios will be meant to create RPG's: One of the Studios will create a Pokemon WRPG with some Online Elements, the other will create a Free-To-Play MMORPG of some sort.

5: Buy Dead/Dying Franchises. This is Part three: There are a ton of Franchises that are dead that could come back to life as Nintendo Exclusives. These include masterpieces such as Beyond Good And Evil, Bayou Billy, Contra, Banjo-Kazooie, and many others. Buying their rights and exclusivity will bring these franchises back.

6: Begin work on the 3DS's successor. My idea for the Successor would be called the "DVS" (Dual Visual Screen): Instead of the standard shellclamp shape with 2 screens, it'd be a Gameboy Advance type machine with Glasses and true HD Graphics. Almost all shooters would require the Glasses, though the glasses aren't required for all games. Launch titles would include a 3D Metroid, a 2D Mario Platformer (Not the NSMB series), a Resurrection of the abandoned Virtual Boy Game "Dragon Hopper", and some other unimportant games. Colors would be: White, Black, "Virtual Boy" (Half Black, half Red), and "Pokefreak" (Yellow, the glasses have a Pikachu face/ears, and it comes with the guarantee of a Free Pokemon game for the DVS).

If I ran Sega, We'd no longer have lousy Sonic games and there would be a new console!

If I ran Domino's, we'd get cinnamon bread back.

Come back, cinnamon bread!
