In the back of GameInformer's latest magazine there's an interesting little game called RPG or Florida and I thought it would be fun to test the RPG fans here on the forums.

It's very simple. Read each headline and decide whether it's from an actual news story in Florida or whether it's something drawn directly from a real RPG game.

Quote from the magazine explaining the game:
"If you want the craziest headlines in North America, it's no secret that Florida is a goldmine. Role-playing games play a similar role in the gaming industry, providing more ridiculous scenarios and plot devices than any other genre, In a testament to how bonkers these two sources can be, sometimes it can be difficult to tell the two apart. Read the headlines and determine which ones originate from actual news reports in Florida and which ones are drawn from known RPGs."

I got 10. That was actually difficult, haha.

This should be called JRPG and Florida.

Would of been more fun for me if it were RPG's I actually played or at least know of. Very smart little game GI did (Someone in the office did their homework!). On the other hand, it is silly how some of those were actual news headlines Oh humanity!

The adventures of florida man?

Yea it should. I'm pretty sure I haven't played half those games.
