AHC: Video Game movies become as big as Comic Book movies

Games are NOT story based. At best you can get a movie (story based medium), using some characters from a game. That would simply be name dropping though.

Not quite true. Granted story is often forced to play third fiddle after mechanics and graphics, but in rpgs and VNs are very much story based. A Movie based on say Baldurs Gate or Neverwinter Nights certainly has protential of pulling it off, although frankly I doubt that WoTC would be able to keep themselves from screwing it up.

Actually, given that VNs could be said to be well suited for adaptation, how about the PoD somehow being them becomming moderately popular in the west? At least popular enough that they're not seen as some weird Japanese thing.
 
another early option for a video game movie would be Dragon's Lair, since it pretty much IS a movie already, and one made by Don Bluth, no less!
