Katamari is Straight Edge

From joystiq.com:

Although it's hard to believe that the ideas for Katamari Damacy and Noby Noby Boy weren't birthed from some serious drug use, Keita Takahashi stated at GDC that he's completely straight-edge when it comes to partaking in the chemical vices of man. In the same session where he revealed Noby Noby Boy for iPhone, he also claimed, "I don't use drugs at all, I don't drink at all. Please don't worry about me."

Straight Edge Crew the Video Game


I never played Grand Theft Auto, I just couldn't see the point in pretending to steal a car, shoot innocent people and screw hookers. I play FPSs like Unreal and Sauerbraten and MMPORGs and Street Fighter (the best damn game ever made), but these games are pure fantasy. There's something about crossing the line into almost real.

Makes me wonder though if it would be a good idea to make a Straight Edge Crew game. You defend your city by taking down the drug dealers and the drunk drivers, maybe it could be endorsed by MADD (just kidding, I don't think they'd be up for the violence even if it was against drunk drivers)

I'm not the militant type but I just think this is a little funny in a sort of disturbed way. It's far more Wii friendly with themes against drugs and drunk driving as opossed to the xbox (funny how when written it becomes an sxe name for a guy named Bo) themes of hyper realistic violence.
