Thanks to everyone who sent in questions for my future self! I'm going to turn it over to him now, so he can get cracking with his answers.
Hey Future Mike,
Do any famous people in the gaming industry decide to freeze themselves? If so, are any unfrozen in your time, and how are their lives? I also would like to know if 3D gaming ever takes off, and if so what are the "killer apps." Also, what the outcome of the PSP2/iPhone/3DS battle is.
Hugs and Kisses,
Mike Pangelina
The only one who froze himself was Will Wright, but there was a horrible accident. He turned into Will Frost-Bite, a terrible villain obsessed with covering the world in an icy tomb. So, you know, that's exciting.
3D gaming really takes off when Look at Shit Flying at You comes out in a couple of years. It's the next Mario.
I'm a bit confused about your last question. The 3DS sells the most units, if that's what you mean, but the PSP2 definitely won the Machine Wars, when all of our appliances and electronics became self-aware and started battling humanity.

Dear Future Mike,
How does The Warcraft Hero end?
- Alex Cronk-Young
I'm not about to spoil my life's work for you, so let's just say that he wins.
Dear Future Mike,
How is the future FixXxer? What does he do?
Also, does Hideo Kojima keep making Metal Gears? I heard that he wants to make other games in the present day, but Konami is kinda being a bitch and won't let him. They keep milking a cash crop.
Your friend from 2010,
The FixXxer
The FixXxer is in charge of everything, of course. You're like the President, Dalai Lama, and Bono combined. So you're doing pretty good.
And remember Look at Shit Flying at You? That's Hideo.
Did Duke Nukem Forever actually come out? How is it?
Has the drawing in Warcraft Hero gotten any better?
-Brett Bates
Duke Nukem Forever did come out, and it was cool. Probably not good enough to justify a decade's worth of anticipation, but you did shoot things and there were titties.
As for my artwork, let's just say that it gets more abstract.
When does Streets of Rage 4 come out?
- Paul Fahrt
Never. Um...sorry.
I just want to know if Assassin's Creed 14 finally wrapped up the story and explained exactly what was going on in those Subject 16 videos.
-Jeff Parsons
Assassin's Creed 14? That's just silly. The story gets neatly wrapped up in Assassin's Creed 9, which is set on the Titanic. Turns out that whole iceberg thing was just a cover-up.
Dear Mike:
My 11-year-old daughter has recently become really interested in MonsantUbi's "My! GeneVille!" and now spends a lot of time sitting in front of our 3DTV with an Epistylus digging into her flesh. I've tried to explain to her about how important it is to safeguard her genetic data online, and about how these big corporations are really just selling her biodiversity to meat-smelting factories in Zynganistan, but she just rolls her eyes at me. She doesn't seem to understand how the DermaCoins she enjoys spending on hats and outfits today can come back to haunt her later in job interviews and lead to depressed immune resistances. Once it's out there online, it's out there.
Unfortunately all her friends play GeneVille, and I'm worried that if I start cracking the whip too harshly she will just start sneaking around, plugging in somewhere her mother and I can't supervise. We've already had a fight over OviStop's so-called "trade-in" program.
How do I talk to her about playing "safe" online without sounding like a square?
- A Concerned Parent
My apologies, it looks like one of my questions from the future got mixed in here. Still, I better go ahead and answer it.
Chances are, clones of your daughter are being shopped around the black market as we speak. Buy one of them and let it live with you for a while. Be sure to constantly compliment the clone on how pretty and nice she is, while throwing subtle insults at your real daughter.
She'll probably regret the GeneVille thing pretty quickly.
