Saberwulf: The secret to writing Rikanese is Wiktionary, knowing lots of UK slang and being good at performing the literary equivalent of lighting the English language on fire

SteelKomodo: oh lawd that plot generator
Gooper Blooper: The story starts when a mysterious man tries to kidnap your protagonist. Another character is a motorcyclist who makes a deal with the devil.
Gooper Blooper: The story starts when your protagonist falls in love. Another character is a long-lost relative of your protagonist, now working for the enemy.
SteelKomodo: eep

Gooper Blooper: I just got an idea and I'm surprised Nintendo hasn't done it yet
Gooper Blooper: Release Pokemon RBY and GSC on 3DS Virtual Console with wireless/internet ability, then release Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2 on Wii U Virtual Console with same
Gooper Blooper: millions of dollars for no effort
SteelKomodo: HOLLA HOLLA GET $

Cornwind Evil: I can't remember if I posted it in this thread before, but I figure it's worth sharing either way, here's a scan of what happened when I got Lance Henriksen to sign my USCM Tech Manual at a showing of 'Aliens'.
Cornwind Evil: His reaction when I handed him the book to sign was awesome. He looked down at it, then back up at me, then back down at it, and started paging through it and said, "This is a real book? Holy shit, this is a real book. Holy shit."
SteelKomodo: ...that is genuinely amazing
SteelKomodo: well done, man *thumbs-up*

RedSpy: Don't worry, if anything its a tension reliever (it being what I'm about to show)
SteelKomodo: nopenopenopenope
SteelKomodo: oh?
RedSpy: Somebody made it. And now it is in the hands of Critikal
SteelKomodo: NOPENOPENOPENOPE
Gooper Blooper: is it the best ticket-taking Of All Time?
RedSpy: (You can tell its fake because the movie posters include 8-bit versions of Avatar and Alien vs Predator)
Gooper Blooper: but yeah, that was good. I liked that it was simply a description of a weird game, and then somebody could actually make it
RedSpy: Nah. Greatest hallway of all time

Gooper Blooper: So when I was saving old pictures from my Photobucket to get them back on my PC I found this lovely old gem
SteelKomodo: woot!
TheDeleter: wow
Gooper Blooper: I remember when that pic was relevant, it was great
Gooper Blooper: Anyone here remember "All I Want For Xmas Is A PSP"?
SteelKomodo: not me
Gooper Blooper: Okay, here's what went down
Gooper Blooper: it was late 2006
Gooper Blooper: I think
Gooper Blooper: Might've been 2005
Gooper Blooper: The PSP wasn't doing too well. The DS was starting to really take off and Sony found themselves up against a serious opponent in the world of handheld gaming
Gooper Blooper: So, what to do?
SteelKomodo: DS YAY
Gooper Blooper: What Sony decided to do was run an Astroturf campagin
Gooper Blooper: That's when a large company pretends to be a grassroots organization to get people behind their cause
Gooper Blooper: in this case, Sony hired a company called Zipatoni to do some viral marketing for them
SteelKomodo: oh lawd
Gooper Blooper: Zipatoni came up with "All I Want For Xmas Is A PSP", which was supposedly a blog about a teenager trying to help his best friend convince his parents to give him a PSP for Christmas
Gooper Blooper: Now, for a while the campaign went as planned, albeit nobody seemed to notice
Gooper Blooper: Then it went viral
Gooper Blooper: Specifically, this video
TheDeleter: oh man
Gooper Blooper: Sony most definitely got their money's worth from Zipatoni
SteelKomodo: which is to say, none at all :P
Gooper Blooper: So now it was starting to spread, which was actually what Sony wanted. So far so good, right?
Gooper Blooper: Something Awful picked up on the video, and someone checked out the site
TheDeleter: goons to the rescue
Gooper Blooper: The blog posts were full of misused Internet slang, and the guy in the video looked far too old to be a teen
Gooper Blooper: Someone checked the source code and found Zipatoni owned the server
Gooper Blooper: busted
Gooper Blooper: The blog began to fill up with comments pointing out the astroturfing. The picture I posted was one of their attempts at damage control
Gooper Blooper: Someone named "Giant Enemy Crab" posted at one point, so yeah it was 2006
Gooper Blooper: Finally, the guy took all the posts and the video down and made a new post about how they'd been found out
Gooper Blooper: I remember they actually used the phrase "Busted"
Gooper Blooper: And admitted they'd been found out, adding in an aside "(Maybe our speech was a little too funky fresh??)"
SteelKomodo: THIS THROWS MY ENTIRE PERCEPTION OF REALITY INTO QUESTION!
Gooper Blooper: They ended the post by promising to give "only the facts on the PSP" from now on, which made it sound like they were gonna roll with it and become a normal PSP-shilling site
Gooper Blooper: The next day the site was deleted completely
Gooper Blooper: It remains to this day one of my favorite corporate goofs
SteelKomodo: XD
RedSpy: Only The Facts - Nothing
RedSpy: Fitting
Gooper Blooper: Oh yeah, and at one point someone tossed up a site called "All I Want For Christmas Is A DS"
Gooper Blooper: It consisted of simply the site's title and a picture of a DS, but it still probably was more successful
SteelKomodo: pffffft, ironyyyyy
Gooper Blooper: And so Nintendo remains undefeated
Gooper Blooper: Oh, and the blog at the PSP site censored not just swear words but also the words "Zipatoni" and "viral marketing" to try and keep the lid on the secret
SteelKomodo: XD
SteelKomodo: I know, right?
Gooper Blooper: Looks like a little bit of the site got archived
Gooper Blooper: "don't just wear it – pwn it!!1!"
SteelKomodo: ooh
Gooper Blooper: And there's the DS site, which actually got an update!
SteelKomodo: pffft
