Apparently.  And the folks at Fark think they're announcing it in a pretty cool way.

Dreaming While I Wake
It's 3 AM and I'm drifting

Staring at an illuminous screen, I'm pondering

What am I doing and why am I here?

It's times like these when my future isn't clear

In that place between when you're asleep and awake

The time that you see yourself so hard to take

That sleepless while where it all falls apart

I wonder how in the world did I get this far?

But then I dream that I am who I want to be

That I'm successful and I'm free

Life's no longer a mystery

I'm a hero on the big screen

I'm romantic hopelessly

I'm a soldier, a pioneer

There is no pain

I have no fear

Dreaming while I wake, I am so free

When I rise, I know my fate, and it makes me believe

I'm a poet, a Renaissance man

I'm a lone wolf with a battle plan

I'm never alone when I'm with friends

I can look into my own eyes again

I can throw everything to the wind

Without any worries at all

'cuz when I dream, I fly so high

I know I can never fall

(No worries, no fears, no nightmares, no tears)

But then I dream that I am who I want to be

That I'm successful and I'm free

Life's no longer a mystery

I'm a hero on the big screen

I'm romantic hopelessly

I'm a soldier, a pioneer

There is no pain

I have no fear












You can listen to it here, or here.  The second link has a download link too.
My idea for this song's effect is that it would put Doug in a sort of limited lucid dream state , but while he is still awake.  This would grant him extremely limited reality warping powers, in that they would only affect him, turning him into who he wants to be, within reason, at the moment.  Further offsetting this would be that after the song ends, he would remember what he had done during the song about as well as one usually remembers dreams.  Also, while the song is playing, I imagine he would be using quite a bit of dream logic, which, given that he is called the Loon, would likely either go almost completely unnoticed, or be extraordinarily frightening.
(I'm not really quite sure where all that came from.  I originally thought it was going to be a 'skill monkey' type boost, with the skills fading away like a dream afterward.  Odd.)

Quote:USA The Fallout Shelter New Brunswick, NJ March 18th Chez Cthulhu Launch!

MIB 6687 will be Launching Chez Cthulhu on Thursday March 18th from 6:30PM till ??? at: (NEW ADDRESS!!!)

The Fallout Shelter Comics, Games & Collectibles
264 GEORGE STREET
New Brunswick, NJ 08901
732-354-4520

%[link=http://falloutsheltercomics.com/]http://falloutsheltercomics.com/]

There will be Munchkin Promo Goodness for all who attend/play!!!!

Prepare for an encounter with the most sanity-blasting entities in all the dimensions . . .

Your roommates.

Chez Cthulhu brings the horror of Lovecraft's Mythos right into your apartment . . . as if the leftovers from the Pizza with Absolutely Everything weren't bad enough. Work your job – will you be a Morgue Janitor, a Sanitarium Guard, or a Gravedigger? Buy things to give you Slack, like a comforting Straitjacket . . . or some Friendly Tentacles to make your day a little brighter. Invite people over to your room . . . and sacrifice them! And Nookie . . . don't forget the Nookie. Preferably without the Ectoplasmic Slime.

Chez Cthulhu combines the classic Chez Geek system with everyone's favorite Elder God. . . and adds a new Madness mechanic. This set includes 110 cards and two blanks, a die, and counters for both Slack and Madness.

Warning: Mixing Chez Cthulhu with Chez Geek can lead to bouts of giggling and excessive silliness. The game itself will play just fine, as long as your brain doesn't break when you use "cigarette" and "tentacle" interchangeably.

Give it a try.  I haven't, yet, but I'm on my way.  Flash game.  Hint:  Don't expect the cursor to change to show you where things you can take or manipulate are.

So, as a Fileplanet Subscriber, I received an invitation into the Xbox 360 Multiplayer beta.  Despite never having heard of the game, or having any idea what kind of game it was, I decided to check it out.  It's best described as Mario-Kart, only with real licensed cars, and with a MW2 style experience and perks system. Races support up to 20 players, depending on what type of race it is.  Power-ups are fixed, rather then random. It's possible to gain exp and make progress even if you finish dead last. No NDA, so ask away.

Okay, you're going to have to explain that one in greater detail.

Quote:

If You're A Journalist...

In the wake of the anthrax attacks in the fall of 2001, I've been contacted
by a number of journalists representing publications ranging from
little religious journals to Newsweek. Why? Because the bogus
return address for one of the anthrax letters included the phrase "Greendale
School". If you're a journalist and reading this page, you've probably done
what the others did -- plugged "Greendale" into Google or another search engine
and then decided I looked a lot more interesting than Greendale, WI or the
Greendale Elementary School in Abingdon, Virginia or the Greendale Stables
Horse Game.


Not a problem. It's your job to check out obscure leads and see if they
go anywhere. However...


Almost all of the reporters who have contacted me have been appallingly
ignorant of just what this page is about. As a result, they have asked me a
lot of questions that they could have answered for themselves by actually
browsing the text below, checking out a couple of the links, and (if
they wanted) reading a smattering of the game transcripts to see what
actually goes on. Most seem
to have merely glanced at this page, jumped to a wild conclusion, and then
decided to call me with vague accusations and insinuations. A few,
including a Pulitzer-nominated writer for a major national newsmagazine
(who really ought to know better) seemed bound and determined to
misunderstand anything I told them while at the same time fishing for
sensationalistic details (quote from said Pulitzer-nominated reporter:
"Who would the FBI subpoena if they wanted to find out more about who
played in your game?"). Some have been polite. But most have been insulting,
rude and accusatory.


I just wanted to tell you -- I'm perfectly willing to chat with any
journalist who wants to take the time to talk to me. But don't waste
my time. If you don't know what a roleplaying game (RPG) is,
find out. It's not that hard, we're mainstream enough these days
that one game got a (terribly bad) movie in 2000, and Hasbro owns one of
the bigger RPG publishers (Wizards of the Coast). If you can't understand how a game can be played
over a computer without it being a computer game, find out.
If the only reason you want to contact me is because this page has the
word "Greendale" on it, and you don't understand what it is we're doing,
perform some proper research before calling.


I've been a newspaper stringer in my time, and I have been
embarrassed on behalf of the journalistic trade by the combination of
pathetic ignorance and towering arrogance displayed by some of the
reporters who have contacted me. You wouldn't send as a correspondent
to Japan a bigot who's never seen an Asian person and can't speak
anything but English; don't do the functional equivalent with gamers
like myself. I'm not going to give you a grounding in the hobby,
and you shouldn't expect it, any more than you would expect an education
in the basics of football if you were interviewing an NFL coach for the
first time. That I don't feel inclined to spoon-feed you the research
you should have done before calling me may make me inconvenient to lazy
reporters, but it's only reasonable. You're calling me because of the
anthrax attacks, after all, not to learn how to play TFOS.



Although if you're seriously interested in learning the game, I
could certainly arrange something.
