All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXXI
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXXI
Speaking of cheesy live action sci fi.

I’m not sure if I’m categorizing Blippo+ correctly. It’s a "video game" that is essentially a TV simulator, and the only thing really interactive with it is the part when you need to "tune" the "reception" at the start. The rest is literally a television and read only message board livestream, where the only thing the player has control of is the channels, and I wouldn’t call adjusting rabbit ears and channel surfing much of a game. 

I could see arguments being made for it being:

* An Augmented Reality Game, has the trappings of this and a meta plot similar to some of the ARGs I’ve read about, but it’s not really my scene.
* A Network (Since the content everyone watches is scheduled for streaming to all viewers at the same time, and a channel guide is published)
* A (or multiple) TV-Series - Since the shows within the show all get new episodes weekly, I’m not sure they’re good to lump into one page. That said, it’s much shorter than standard tv.
* A video game. Contains about as much interactivity as a Visual Novel, which ATT categorizes as a video game genre. Was first realeased in a game console, with the only current expansion plans being another console and a pc game distribution platform.
