"We do not fear objects; we fear actions. We fear not water, but drowning in it. We fear not spiders, but them biting and poisoning us. We fear not death, but dying."
supercomputer276 (commonly known as SC276 or just SC) is a little-known troper. He wishes it to remain that way since on other community sites such as
Newgrounds, he got riled up and made a fool of himself; understandably, he wishes to not repeat that painful experience.
SC is particularly knowledgeable about video games and wishes to get into video game design. He has
Asperger Syndrome (or maybe high-functioning autism, I'm not sure)
at least according to his parents, but doesn't like making a big deal about it. Is primarily a writer, but has occasionally done comics (usually sprite comics), along with drawing and
Flash animation.
Can have a little trouble paying attention at times. Is a little more self-centered than he'd like.
Has a
fetish for
mind control, but whenever he writes about it, it tends to be on the
deconstructive side.
Claims credit for creating and releasing the world's first fully playable
You Don't Know Jack fangame.
Currently heading a
scanlation project of
Gregory Horror Show: Another World and recording a
Let's Play of
Klonoa's Wii remake.

Supercomputer276's first sprite comic and one of his more popular, started as an innocent one-shot with an interesting twist and then grew from there.
Microsoft Paint takes form in the
Sonic the Hedgehog universe as the MS Paint Zone. One day, the Zone inverts its colors while Tails is in it, resulting in Tails's colors inverting. An attempt to fix the condition results in
all of Mobius inverting, and then before he can fix it Eggman steals the control device and absorbs its data, allowing him to
paint the fourth wall with Paint's drawing tools. He then escapes from Mobius into the Windows Explorer Zone, and Tails takes it on himself to follow him and bring him back before Eggman can cause serious damage to the various universes of GameWorld.
Includes examples of:
A
Wario Land 4 fangame currently in development. Currently being made using Game Maker 8 Pro. Demos have been released.
Includes examples of:
- Art Shift: The majority of levels use graphics from not only Mario games, but Sonic as well. The first Garnet level, Cotton Heights, uses modified Kirby graphics.
- Bonus Level: All the passages except the Entry Passage have a hidden Keyzer that unlocks another level.
- Boss Dissonance: Mario-type. Not nearly as much effort put into the levels is put into the bosses. For one, the Emerald Passage boss is Dr. Eggman...
- Convection Schmonvection: The usual lava example.
- Excuse Plot: Wario has found a temple in a canyon in the middle of the desert and plunders the loot within.
- Nintendo Hard: The third-tier passages.
- Save Point: There's one in each level lobby, but saving the game costs 10,000 coins.
- Timed Mission: The end of each level, just like in the original game. "HURRY UP!"
- That One Level: Avalanche Hills. It's almost impossible to get through without grinding up your health bar.
- Underground Monkey: Although new enemies are occasionally introduced, you'll be seeing the exact same blobs and spearguys over and over again for the entire game.
- Unexpected Shmup Level: The two submarine levels in the Sapphire passage, Rainbow Reef and Subtropolis, inspired by the Subwarine in Wario Land: Shake It!
- Video Game Settings: Among them...
- What Could Have Been: The original plans for the game were a series of linear one-room levels before the hub and temple maps were added.
A
Kirby Sprite Comic. Set in an
Alternate Universe where, instead of one Kirby defending Dream Land, there's now seven of them acting like a band of superheroes. A very bad band of superheroes that can't do their showy intro properly three pages in.
Includes examples of:
Magic Man's Corner
The Robot Masters of
Mega Man, led by narrator / host Magic Man, perform various pieces of classical literature (mostly poems) for your entertainment. And you will be entertained, given half the actors are incompetent, the other half forget their lines, and the
other other half aren't supposed to be on the stage in the first place.
Current entries in this series:
Includes examples of:
A
Gregory Horror Show fan fiction. Follows the adventures of a college student who falls asleep on a bus from exhaustion and wakes up outside the hotel. Sounds like standard fare, right? It would be... if the guest didn't know a lot about where he is, having watched the entire series on DVD.
Includes examples of:
- Genre Savvy: the Guest.
- Original Character: Along with the Guest, a few new residents of the hotel are included to shake up the Guest's Genre Savvy. This includes a vending machine that eats people trying to buy certain items from it.
- Original Flavour: Aside from much more dialogue on the part of the Guest than usual, each chapter is intended to very well stand as an episode of the show. Although whether or not the chapter number will add up to 25-6 like the show remains to be seen.
- Shout Out: While walking the hallways during the first night, the Guest hums the Luigi's Mansion theme, although he can't remember where it came from.
