I have been working on a video game concept with my friend Tim for 5 years called WALLBOARDERS 3. It's an action / adventure role playing game where you can choose to be one of 6 pro boarders. You can work for a company, or try to get contracts on your own. When you get paid you can choose to spend your money on your family or just go to the beer store and buy some dope on the street. The goal is to install more wallboards than all the other boarders. You can have fist fights on the job site and even beat up your wife at home. You can choose between 5 different pairs of sweatpants and your weapons include an 18v drill / drywall gun, a utility knife, a set of trowels, a drywall hammer and a drywall hawk to use as a shield. There is a multiplayer mode where 2 people can work together installing drywall on ceilings & I think the nintendo Wii is the system of choice for this application. I think it will also be a hit in the Xbox 360 community as people could speak to one another while they drywall on the virtual job site when they get home from a day of drywalling in the real world. Hopefully somebody picks up the concept soon and Wallboarders 3 will become a virtual reality.
