...is that I can walk into some Australian supermarkets and buy: soda made in the USA (Boylan, A&W), Ben & Jerry's ice cream, lemonade from France, Irn-Bru, Pocky(Thai, Korean & Japanese), english Digestives and a range of Hormal's food-like substances. Not to mention whatever product line the higher-ups decide to not locally source.

I do swear I once saw Twinkies on the shelf somewhere........

  CoH inspired Pictures
Posted by: Mark Skarr - 05-05-2011, 12:16 PM - Forum: The Legendary - Replies (10)

I take inspiration where I can get it.  Sometimes, City of Heroes inspires me.
This is an old picture of a Hero character, based on a CoX Fire Controller:

Recently, I made a joke about my Summoner, Aurora, being a CoX MasterMind:

  Challenge: Tell me about this image
Posted by: robkelk - 05-05-2011, 04:01 AM - Forum: Fenspace - Replies (2)

The last time I did this, we turned a found image into the basis for a FenWiki entry. This time, I made an image and want somebody to tell me a story.

My image came from an idea touched off by Dartz' recent FenWiki article about http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?title=Bounty_Hunters]Bounty Hunters - eventually, two bounty hunters are going to go after the same bounty. Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, it to write the story about how these three got into this mess:

[Image: 1024px-My_bounty.png]

For that matter, you're going to have to tell me about these three. Obviously, she's a Cowboy Bebop fan, while her opponent is either a Super, a Cyber, or a Gearhead of some sort - but that's all we know about them so far. The poor schmuck they've cornered could be anyone...

(There's http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?titl ... bounty.png]a larger version of this image on the FenWiki. The backdrop was originally a gas station, in case it makes a difference.)

  A Twisted (?) Idea.
Posted by: Bob Schroeck - 05-04-2011, 04:39 PM - Forum: Fenspace - Replies (48)

The very first handwaved vehicle was not created in the early 21st century, but in the early 20th -- when British inventor Caractacus Potts accidentally created Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang.  (And maybe handwavium itself...?)

  Going Down!
Posted by: Black Aeronaut - 05-04-2011, 07:42 AM - Forum: The Game Everyone Loves To Play - Replies (6)

Blue Man Group - The Current (feat. Gavin Rossdale)
Power: Rapid Subterranean Tunneling
Quirks:
The digging is quiet allowing for stealth (down where my breath is the only sound ... Don't look for me now I'm not around)
Tunnels are suitable for laying utilities (General heavy-industrial sound of the song)
Directions aren't needed, merely a target (I don't know where it goes, I don't care, I just get it there)
Doug losses his tan (Now it's seven years since I've seen the sun, all day long I'm underground)
Doug can't stop digging once he's started - he only stops once the music ends.
Afterwards, Doug feels like he's been doing the job for years on end.
Song on Youtube:

Lyrics:
Going down
Going down

Down where my breath is the only sound

Going down

Going down
Going down

Don't look for me now--I'm not around

All day long I'm underground

I've been thinking about the future

I've been waiting for the day

Let the current carry me far away

Let the current carry me away

The Current flows
I don't know where it goes

I don't care
I just get it there

Took this job ‘cause I needed one

Now it's seven years
Since I've seen the sun

All day long I'm underground

I've been thinking about the future

I've been waiting for the day

Let the current carry me far away

Let the current carry me away

And I've been thinking about the future

I hope some day I'll get away

But the current keeps bringing me back around

Seems the only place for me is underground

So tomorrow when the sun comes up
I'll be going down

Going down.
Going down.

  [Meta/Silly] Leatherman 'Wave?
Posted by: Mark Skarr - 05-04-2011, 12:30 AM - Forum: Fenspace - Replies (82)

Okay, so I'm getting dressed for work, and I put my Leatherman Wave on, and wonder:  What would happen to this thing if I exposed it to Handwavium?
Something cool?
Something lame?
End of the universe?
You do not talk about the Leatherman Wave 'Wave?

  Doug's gate songs
Posted by: Dragonflight - 05-03-2011, 09:32 PM - Forum: The Game Everyone Loves To Play - Replies (4)

Here's an odd one I don't know if anyone ever asked before. If Doug were to use a gate song that he used to take him to somewhere he's been to, will it take him back to that place?
Essentially, can he use established gate songs to jump around the "track" he's on so as to take advantage of resources in various realities?
