  [Story][RFC][Snippet] -- G. F. de Leon Snippet
Posted by: Foxboy - 09-14-2010, 06:39 PM - Forum: Fenspace - Replies (5)

Not counting the four people present, the warehouse was practically empty, except for the polished metal spike and the crane above it.
"Detective!" Gervasio Faustino de Leon beamed at the pudgy man in chains before him. "We do keep meeting in the strangest places, ¿no?"
"You'll never get away with this, de Leon," Detective Thomas Kane of the Miami Police Department said.
"I beg to differ, pendejo," de Leon said with a smug grin. He pointed at a glassy-eyed catgirl behind him. "Thanks to CSI Tech Mendoza here, I now have a lead on getting my boat back. From there, I can be in 'international waters' any time I like. Completely out of reach of your pathetic police forces."
"You'll slip up," Kane replied evenly. "'Criminal Masterminds' like you always do."
"I might, Detective." De Leon reached into Kane's shirt pocket and pulled out a pair of RayBans while a hired thug attached Kane's chains to the crane's hook. "But not where you can see it."
The thug turned to the crane's controls and positioned the struggling detective over the spike.
"No, Detective," de Leon continued. "You are going to let me make ..." The drug lord paused dramatically while sliding the stolen RayBans on. "... A point."
Explosive bolts in the crane's hook detonated and Detective Kane's final scream rent the Miami air.
''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat
them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''

  Fenspace-appropriate songs and AMVs
Posted by: Proginoskes - 09-13-2010, 11:42 PM - Forum: Fenspace - Replies (6)

Share any music and AMVs that you find fit Fenspace!
An entire class of AMVs, rather than a particular one: the Sailor Senshi are the Future Girls.
The song that inspired my author avatar's method of launch, and what let it work: Steve Savitzky's Bound For Hackers' Heaven (PDF broadside, mp3 audio, Ogg Vorbis audio)
Anyone else have some?

I've been experiencing some serious slowness with the boards since the evening of 9/12.  Before I report it to Yuku, I wanted to see if anyone else was having problems along the same lines.

  Looking for Gun
Posted by: SCM Writer of 2814 - 09-13-2010, 09:48 AM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (5)

I'm look for a gun model. It's a new type, a kind of shotgun, and has an optional round magazine that makes it look a little like a tommy gun. Anyone know that name of this weapon? I swear it's real.

  Science Fiction/Double Feature
Posted by: Proginoskes - 09-13-2010, 08:52 AM - Forum: The Game Everyone Loves To Play - Replies (2)

How many showtunes does Doug have in his helmet? And what might this song from the Rocky Horror Picture Show do?

Quote:Michael Rennie was ill the day the earth stood still

But he told us where we stand

And Flash Gordon was there in silver underwear

Claude Raines was the invisible man

Then something went wrong for Fay Wray and King Kong

They got caught in a celluloid jam

Then at a deadly pace it came from outer space

And this is how the message ran:

Science Fiction - Double Feature

Dr. X will build a creature

See androids fighting Brad and Janet

Ann Francis stars in Forbidden Planet

Oh-oh at the late night, double feature, picture show.

I knew Leo G. Carroll was over a barrel

When Tarantula took to the hills

And I really got hot when I saw Janet Scott

Fight a Triffid that spits poison and kills

Dana Andrews said prunes gave him the runes

And passing them used lots of skills

But when worlds collide, said George Pal to his bride

I'm gonna give you some terrible thrills, like a:

Science Fiction - Double Feature

Dr. X will build a creature

See androids fighting Brad and Janet

Ann Francis stars in Forbidden Planet

Oh-oh at the late night, double feature, picture show.

I wanna go, oh-oh, to the late night double feature picture show.

By RKO, oh-oh, at the late night double feature picture show.

In the back row at the late night double feature picture show.
My best guess is a distraction song: a parade of B-movie monsters and robots and such cuts across Doug's AOE, hopefully drawing all the attention away from Doug and his allies.

ok, I'm sure that some of you have already seen this, but for those of you who haven't:
check it out
Proof that something can be scary, funny, and a bit disquieting at the same time.
It has been said the best form of comedy makes us go 'ha ha... oh wait' and this certainly fits that mold.
(and don't forget the hover text)

  All Rad TV run
Posted by: Sweno - 09-13-2010, 05:53 AM - Forum: The Legendary - Replies (35)

ok, so I blame DS for this.

He has proposed an all Rad Terravolta run, and the idea has now stuck in my brain.

so far the cast list includes:

Lisa (50) - Sweno

Rhea (50) - Spud

Emi Arizona (50?) - Fox

Chernobyl Zwei (44) - Uni

Troni (35) - Star

Child of the Atom (31) - DS

Sharon Kov (30) - Logan

Jack (29) - Terr

X-Ray Ted (20) - Bob

Deuterium Hydroxide (18) - Valles

Binary Pulse (??) - Ebony

PL (Plutonium Lady?)

Given that I don't know what level some of these people are (or if there is one more that we have missed) I have no idea if it is workable.

But I want to try. They start at level 24 (sky raiders), 34 (Freaks), and 44 (Rikti)

When can people do it?

Edit: added levels and players where I could find/remember them

Edit #2: we now have 8 at 24+, this is doable Smile Now just to find a time when we are on...
