A sentient orb of burning light and heat slaughters his way through waves of innocent creatures who are possessed by a Space Pirate before launching a violent terrorist attack on said pirates fortress to rescue his dad who tried to do the same earlier. During his adventures:

  • He pays the man who alerted him to the chance to plunder Inexplicable Treasure Chests by beating up him and murdering his pet monkey
  • Slaughters a giant worm and a nearly extinct hammerhead shark.
  • Decides to play a game where he slaughters helpless mooks in the right order for fun and profit
  • Destroys a tunneling mecha that tries to stop his cross-planetary rampage before delivering a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown to its owner.
  • Vandalises some giant metal bird statues while stealing several unique metronomes and throwing them at innocent bystanders.
  • Murders a rare singing eagle.
  • Reduces a local ice-worlder child to tears during a snowball fight.
  • Pours scalding hot food down another ice-worlders throat, burning him to death internally, with the help of the bullied kid.
  • Destroys an army of Waddling Heads sent to apprehend him, along with a very expensive robotic ninja.
  • And finally, creates a black hole in the pirates palace, killing him and all the innocent prisoners and slaves who were also still in the place.

The term "Great Man" is disturbingly interchangeable with "mass murderer" in history books.

A group of juvenile delinquents armed with strange guns and explosives have gone on a massive killing spree aound the world. Attempts at trying to stop them have failed. Their crimes include public loitering, using illegal substances, vandalizing prized gold statues, beating up authority and stepping on ants. They are highly dangerous, having stolen property of several historical spots and setting anyone they can on fire. They have caused the extinction and endangerment of several creatures, and bribe major companies who have captured even one of them. They have also doomed any chances of us obtaining interstellar travel, having killed any aliens who try to make contact with Earth. The only witness who can properly attest to their crimes has strangely 'gone missing'.

A young boy obeys the voices in his head over the warnings of his family and becomes a serial killer. A wanted man, he evades the law and stages a coup of the government, gathering a harem of maidens along the way. His motives develop throughout the story—his urge to kill eventually makes way for greed and he loots cities and graveyards to fund his occult drug use and luxury swim wear. His greatest heist is the golden treasure of great pyramid which gives this mass murderer the power to buy anything he wishes.

His name is Link.

From the skies they came, strangely-shaped alien objects whose only mission is to flood the world with their presence. Your only hope is to manipulate their movements to eliminate their own line formations as they continue their relentless descent, hoping beyond hope that they will one day stop.

But they never will. Failure Is the Only Option.

Let's see if I can get this right.

A huge group of people, all with different occupations, are heading down a road toward a house. Unfortunately said road has many deathtraps planted in it, killing thousands of people in many different and gruesome ways. The group's only method of survival is feeding off of anything they see. Sometimes each other.
