Are you up to the challenge?
What the hell is FMV?
FMV stands for "Full Motion Video", a technique used across several videogames as both a form of storytelling and graphical presentation. The first game of this type, "Astron Belt" (1983), used video as a background while the foreground spaceship was a 2D image.
These forms of games mostly appeared in arcades which utilised "Laserdisc" as well as home console platforms that utilised "Compact Disc" (CD) technology such as the SEGA CD or Phillips CDi.
Some games used FMV as cutscenes to bridge gameplay such as "Link: The Faces of Evil" (1993) and it's animated scenes, or shooter games such as "Space Pirates" (1992) where the main game was the video itself, with players shooting the right targets to progress.
While FMV isn't as utilised as much in modern games, some newer titles have used the format such as "Armikrog" (2015) and "Roundabout" (2014)

The main hero of our tale who assists the player with helpful advice.
A man stuck in the era of the 80's, sporting long hair, sunglasses and incredibly corny one-liners, yet is familiar with the modern world.
He credits Hulk Hogan, Mr. T and Duke Nukem as inspirations for his outlandish way of life.
Very is little is known about him,
other than he lives in a vast forest and likes to attack any passers by.
He can climb trees faster than any known human being and currently holds the world record.
Hailing from a surprisingly forest-like western town, these cowboys all share the same name and appearance, despising anybody who doesn't resemble a cowboy.
They're nameless, but various rumours lead many to believe they all share the name of "Mad Dog McGee"
Still deadly like the myths state, yet in reality they behave more like gremlins most of the time, cackling and making fun of opponents.
These woofs prefer the use of guns over their claws, yet still use them alongside scaring the shit out of people.
The leader behind all of this madness, laughing at everything and an infamous drug lord, he will stop at nothing to snort cocaine and other illegal substances up his nose hole.
Much like macho man he himself hails from an era of incredibly buff superheroes and neon lights, sporting many puns and bad jokes about bones and skeletons.
