Dashopepper Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I was at a cemetery over the weekend for Memorial Day and was sitting on a gravestone bench thinking about stuff you think about in a cemetery when I spotted this. It really put a smile on my face. I told my Wife I wanted a tombstone shaped like a video game cartridge but I don't think she liked the idea. I'll probably just end up with my name on a nondescript rock like everyone else. Oh well. What do you want on your tombstone? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I want pepperoni and mushroom. Oops wrong tombstone. I've envisioned mine looking like classic NES controller. The + and 2 fire buttons with my name and date in the middle where start and select would be. Currently not married so not a problem with second name. The polished portion should look dark gray while the rest should look light gray. The back should have in pixelated font "GAME OVER" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 When I die, I just want my body to be thrown into a ditch somewhere out in the country. Obviously, my family isn't too keen on that idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Tombstones are the cartridges of end of life, who needs em? Put me in the cloud! (seriously, cremation is fine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I thought this was going to be about tombstones IN video games. Killer Bees (Odyssey 2) has them I thought I remembered them in Showdown in 2100 AD, but that's just dead dudes bloating in the sun. A guess: the entire Castlevania series has the most tombstones, followed by Ghouls and Ghosts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletunes Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) Top choice: An old cartooney roundtop like Ghosts & Goblins. Second choice: One of those flat ones that can be mown over. Bottom choice: Shaped like an upright Coleco Chameleon- simple as that. Edited May 30, 2017 by toiletunes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitkraft Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I don't really care about my funeral or burial arrangements after I die. Those things are for the living, not the dead. That being said, I would like my final resting place to be near my wife's be it burial, ashes or whatever. I guess I'm not deep enough into this stuff that I want it memorialized with me. However, on that same topic, I feel like my grandfather who would say, "What I'd like people to say at my funeral is, 'LOOK! He's moving!'"

+atari2600land Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Oregon Trail has the most tombstones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I want to be cremated and/or shot into space, but not before my corpse is used for at least one practical joke.But I'm thinking my chances on cremation aren't too good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I want to be cremated and/or shot into space, but not before my corpse is used for at least one practical joke. Weekend with Bernie or something like that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godslabrat Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I've already made arrangements to be stuffed into the giant box that Beatles Rock Band came in, and have a fat guy sit on it till it closes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 It's just sad that the kid died before his fourteenth birthday. Tragic, even. I've thought about this before. Seems like it would be amusing if my stone had a game over screen carved into it, with a continue countdown and zero credits listed on the bottom. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIO2 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 They can just put my ashes in the storage compartment of a 5200 console and glue the lid shut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamemoose Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I wanted to put a small remnant of my Dad's ashes in something computer-y, but my wife wasn't too keen on it. In fact, she's not too keen on having a vessel with MY ashes in the house if I kick first. Kinda puts a damper on the idea of being put into a sealed up game system or something.

BassGuitari Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Weekend with Bernie or something like that? I was thinking more along the lines of something that would traumatize some children, but that's good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could donate your body to science. Medical students are like children, and you know there's at least a little bit of pranking with the cadavers. This Brazilian game led to an uptick in organ donation, which is a good thing in my opinion. I know some people think emergency medical people are less apt to work hard for organ donors, but I choose not to believe that. If I'm ever in bad enough shape where organ donation looks like an option, it's probably for the best that I help someone else in need. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dripfree Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I don't really want a tombstone. But I am looking out for a really good taxidermist. Perhaps this is a good place to ask around... They have to be very good or this could end up kinda creepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
