Yes, it's true that we Canuckleheads don't have to worry about Thanksgiving, having already had it over a month ago.

-sigh-

Good times.

Meh, I like having it in October. That way I can spread out and relish my biyearly turkey intake.

I will say from my work at the newspaper today (I have two jobs ftr) that if Black Friday is nearly as bad as the people demanding their newspaper sales papers were, no one should go anywhere NEAR a store tomorrow. The office was closed and we had no papers to sell, but people were pulling up to the front doors and honking their car horns to try and demand we sell them a paper.

So me and the editor opened the windows and threw coffee grounds at them. We're the only newspaper within 40 counties, who are they gonna complain to?

Edit: Pie's done! Pardon me while I dive into it...

Hey guys, if it wasn't obvious enough, I'm here.

And Travis? You can go fuck yourself. tongue

Anyway guys, I've got a new and improved version of the Twisted Metal challenge typed up. Complete with a new name that's a bit of a Call-Back to the first game.


Challenge ?: A Hi-Octane Competition

Our challengers have been brought to a man named Calypso, and told that they are to compete in a demolition derby with several other competitors. The prize for winning: A single wish, granted by Calypso.

  • This challenge begins at Calypso’s throne, before the challengers are ejected into the arena for the first match. Later matches will take place in a variety of areas.
  • This is a battle to the death. One can only win if every other competitor, friend or otherwise, is dead. Matches end after a set amount of competitors have been killed. Dead challengers will obviously be returned to the commons room, where they can watch the rest of the game on the TV.
  • Challenger’s vehicles can be based off something from their own world. For example, Jorge could drive a modified Warthog, Travis could use his own motorcycle, and Saren could use something like the Mako. The players will need to decide how their challenger’s vehicle will handle, how fast it is, how much armor it has, etc. They also need to decide on a special weapon or ability that can be something from their own universe. (For example, lets say Jorge had a Rocket-Hog, then he’d use the turret as his special)

It looks very interesting, Liirian; should be fun if and when we get to it.

I have made a post at last, if only so that I'm not left behind over the next few days as I study.

I wonder what Ravage will get? Just a ordinary (By Twisted Metal standards) car, or something more cybertronian?

I already know what Travis is going to get, assuming that I still stick with him by then. (Although I have to admit, I think that there's a good chance that I will)

I've also already thought of a great Nomad to 'run' my challenges, one with a bit of a split personalities/bi-polar thing going on. Just to drop a few hints, his intentions for the 'High-Octane Competition' are Cars and Explosions/An interesting scenario where challengers are forced to compete against each other for a large prize. The Warriors Challenge? (Tentatively called 'The Warriors Way') Kitties and Blood!/A 'fish out of water' scenario to test the challengers ability to adapt to radical new environments.

No idea on what name to give him though. I thought about Pi, but that would only be good for a few gags, and it would fit a more logical, mathematical Nomad better.

Also, I love how no one is reacting to a bloody head rolling in front of them and Travina walking out of an alleyway with the implication that there are the dismembered bodies of several ninjas behind her.

Probably a Cybertronian vehicle of some sort.

Hmm... now what would be a plausible origin/backstory for Human!Ravage in the current challenge...

Gents, methinks a Cowboy Bebop style of animation would work for this game if it was a series. What say ye?

With a different style for each Challenge or...?

No (other than the obvious; Transformers gets Transformers art, Magical Girl gets Sailor Moon...), as I haven't watched Cowboy Bebop.

AMV Hell has taught me that at one point a guy points his finger at the viewer and says "...Bang".

Also Cowboy BeBop at His Computer makes for a very funny read.

Here all day now, and wow, dudes, if you want to totally get yourself creeped out, drive to work on Black Friday while everyone's gone and listen to a song about the biblical Revelations.

Speaking of which, dudes, I don't know where or how to apply it but I heard this awesome song about Revelations that would be one killer boss fight song if done right!

Umm... Flanker, there is no decapitated head. Gordon was just talking about one.

^Remember Travina had cut off some dude's head (or it was heavily implied)? I was just (belatedly) replying to that.

I'm considering Dr. Sterling being aware of the Senshi. It just seems to make sense given what Nakamura said about her.

It's magic. When Dresden reanimated a fossilized T-Rex, it suddenly grew flesh and skin, if slightly rotten.

You don't expect skeletons to be able to see or hear you without eyes and ears, either, but they do so just the same.

That's what I assumed as well. We wouldn't be getting the head if we already had the means to make the noise. Well, we would, it would just be backup.
