  MASSIVE Steam Sale

What it says on the tin. Steam's having a huge sale that runs from today until July 4, with some prices cut for the whole time period and a few daily specials. I'm picking up San Andreas at the moment and I might get Fuel later.

  This is both pretty cool and kinda disturbing
Posted by: Bob Schroeck - 06-24-2010, 04:08 PM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (1)

"The Faking Hoaxer" on YouTube.  A master of video/photoshopping/other techniques, he makes fake UFO, ghost and conspiracy videos to show how easy it is.  His work is so good some "true believers" take selected snippets and use them as "evidence" to support their claims.
Even knowing they're fakes, his work can be... disturbing.  The "Shuttle Scenarios" video in particular gave me shivers because it looks so damned real.

  cross-posting something of mine from a TTGL bunny-thread on space battles.
Posted by: VladimirTherin - 06-24-2010, 05:08 AM - Forum: Other People's Fanfiction - Replies (10)

I had an idea for a TTGL/Naruto cross ( I know, shame on me)

The start would be Simon after walking into the sunset at the end.

He comes to a shore with a mist covered island in the distance. A
faceless boatman explains to him its the Island of True Kings where
they rest until they are needed once more.

He mentions that you cant take any swords there (its a rule), and that it can be lonely (There is a "No Girls" rule too)

A throwaway comment "There are other worlds that need heroes too, you
know" makes Simon turn down the offered ride across and turn back upon
the path that took him there.

Basically just a thinly disguised excuse to have Simon start
curb-stomping through some of the more crap-sack worlds, "Believe in
the me that believes in you!"-ing all along the way.

My idea for him in the Naruto-verse was getting there some time before
the kyuubi-incident. He'd stomp some Bandits harassing a hamlet too
poor to afford ninjas, and mosie towards Konoha to look into things
more, just in time to see them getting messed up by the Fox.

Queue an epic throwdown between bunny-fufu and a giant green swirly giant.

Plot points:

Every Uchiha nearby with a manifested sharingan at that time has their
head explode due to sheer awesomeness overload. (Inadvertently
partially achieving Madara's goal for sicing the Kyuubi on Konoha)

Large portions of the Hyuuga would be permanently blinded as well.

Final showdown is so awesome that it leaves a spiral-shaped crater
outside Konoha several miles across. The only survivor and direct
witness is a newborn Naruto at the center. No one knows exactly *what*
happened at the end.

Doubts are raised as to who/what may be sealed within Naruto. Is it the "Giant of Light" AND the Kyuubi? Or just one of them?

Queue the surviving Hyuuga coming to a realization about how they have
been so wrong to repress their emotions. Queue them radically breaking
with tradition to pursue their new "Burning Blood/Will of Fire"
philosophy. ( this would be played for great lulz all around)
Edited after initial post-fail.

This particular idea was inspired by JFerio's find of the SciFi Airshow. It's also very, very preliminary. Lots of C&C requested. --Mal
