I'm the nastiest creep you've ever seen!
Come one, come all, put up a fight
I'll pound your butts with Green Lantern's light!
Yowza."
Draco: Yowza

RubyChao: perhaps someday we will learn if they let him teach again.........

I HATE YOUR FLIP FLOPS: When you're kissing Tony Stark, you're kissing Galactus.

Opening the Cabinet of Curiosities

It's been a while since I've had a ZFRP plot with as convoluted a development as my Season 13 one. For that reason, it's finally time I dusted off the old Plot Retrospective tag and give some behind the scenes information on the many twists and turns I took while coming up with what we eventually did this year!

I had many ideas for Whalestrand, but I also had a desire to minimize how many events I ran. I wanted to do more with less. This naturally led to the concept of a plot that was a series of widely-varying vignettes that may or may not have all been connected. In the final version of the plot, most of the events actually were connected in one way or another, but this wasn't a guarantee early on. A lot of the pieces of The Cabinet of Curiosities were snipped portions from what could have been bigger plots, so this was something of a "best-of" of the many story concepts I was sifting through. Let's look at each one of these individual pieces, and what got cut in favor of the snippets I cobbled together into the Cabinet.

HIS WISH IS PUNCH!: "The Tour de France, the most challenging and most prestigious bicycle race, has a long and storied history of cheating. Most people have heard of the decades worth of scandals involving performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs), but the early years of the race involved much more overt methods of cheating. The second Tour de France (in 1904) had so much cheating that it almost resulted in permanent cancellation. Multiple cyclists were disqualified for cheating, and the 5th place finisher was declared the winner since everybody ahead of him was disqualified. And he had also cheated at least once, but for whatever reason was only given a warning. Much of the cheating was amusingly audacious (skipping sections of the race by getting rides in cars or trains, or for those who wanted to still "ride the bike" for the whole course having a car pull them along with a tow rope), but it also included sabotage (nails were laid out in roads to cause flat tires) and even violence (masked men in a car attacking the then-leading cyclists, and fans of some cyclists threw rocks at everyone else as they passed)."

Cornwind Evil: "Warren Ellis in the mid-1990's, while trying to get ahead at Marvel, he worked on Druid (1995), starring C-List member of The Avengers Doctor Druid, apparently intending on mimicking another title, Hellstorm, starring C-Lister character Daimon Hellstrom. However, sales were so abysmal that that ongoing series was turned into a four-issue mini-series, which ends Druid killed by a magical gun and burned in a dumpster by Hellstrom himself."
Cornwind Evil: When you're just so mad a character didn't catch on

GB's Game Reviews, 2022-2023 Edition

Here we go again! This time I've got two different types of reviews. My usual review style where I go over a game once I've seen the credits will be here as expected, but I also will be including a bunch of what I'm calling Quick Impressions. This review type is for arcade games I played in compilations or at Funspot. I only tried many of these games briefly, and they usually don't have an ending, but I'll still share my thoughts on what I saw, and I'll also have a "Insert Token?" rating, where I decide whether or not I would give up a shiny Funspot token to drop in the machine to play it again - either "No", "Maybe", "Sure", or "Absolutely".

Jumpropeman: man, where would Mario be without Upside-Down Pipes?
Gooper Blooper: don't forget the most important mario character, Purple Yoshi
Draco: "Fantastic Firsts: Upside Down pipes" Okay, I guess those are good. "Poison mushroom" HUGE impact on the series, sure.
Gooper Blooper: I especially like the "Fantastic Firsts" listed for Mario Land 2, consisting of Wario and then a bunch of stuff they dropped forever after one game
Jumpropeman: I am just taking this image's word that 3-Up Hearts are a thing
Jumpropeman: cool kids get 3-ups from smiling moons!
Gooper Blooper: I played some Mario Land 2 when the Switch Game Boy app hit, can confirm 3-up hearts are real
Gooper Blooper: I think a lot of the weirdness of Mario Land 2's items comes from needing to be clear without using color, so you get hearts instead of one-up shrooms because you couldn't distinguish them from normal shrooms
Gooper Blooper: and Mario randomly getting a feather on his head when he's Fire Mario in this game only
Draco: What I really find funny is that Super Mario Bros 2 had more of an effect on the series than than the actual sequel to Super Mario Bros and it wasn't even originally a Mario game.
Draco: link
Jumpropeman: gotta love a feel-good story <3

The Art Of Gaming

"Ahhhh... Look at all of zis space! And for such a good deal, too!"

Spreading her arms as she walked around the building she had recently purchased, Palette took in the sight and let her imagination take over. It was stark and empty right now, but she imagined the building filled with the sights and sounds of people at work and play, and her heart soared. Her plans were ambitious, but she had received plenty of encouragement and support from Chimata and the Legion of Stationery to pursue her dream.

The Hardcade was remaining in Agama. The semi-breakups of the Sega Hard Girls and Nintendo Hard Girls, with many of them declining to follow the Kobbers to Europe, ensured that it couldn't come to Whalestrand in its' usual form. Rather than try to cram an arcade into the Journey's End, which was already both a lighthouse and a restaurant, or the Safe Harbor Inn, a new approach would be needed to adapt one of the Kobbers' favorite pastimes to Whalestrand.

There Was Life Here Once

The hunter approached the valley of death.

There was no sound but H'aanit's own footsteps and the whistling of the wind through the pines. She heard the old trees creak gently as their branches swayed. Looking away from them, she stared out upon the ruins in front of her, one hand reaching down to stroke the fur of her loyal pet, Linde the snow leopard. Nodding to her companion, H'aanit stepped forward and entered what was once a village.

They had been here before, but it still hurt every time.

H'aanit walked slowly and deliberately among the rubble, Linde following along behind, her footsteps silent compared to her human owner. Some buildings were almost completely demolished, while others were partially standing. One lucky cottage was almost fully intact, though H'aanit had noticed the paint wearing down over time, more unsightly marks appearing every time she returned. She gently placed a hand against the cottage's wall. If no one maintained it, this little house would eventually fall into disrepair. And there was no one left in the former village to do so.

Draco: lol
AlternateChao: and you just left him there?
Jumpropeman: "You currently have 30 shares remaining"
Jumpropeman: my website has a plugin called Jetpack that gives me stats and stuff but also has a Jetpack Social setting I never touch. They apparently think they can get away with charging for posting your stuff to facebook on twitter for you V:
Jumpropeman: I could pay them for the privilege of getting more shares... or just like, copy paste my link over to twitter and facebook
Kuro joined the chat
Kuro: i'm lost, come get me
Jumpropeman: maybe it was a sort of existential feeling of being lost all along...
Kuro: yeah basically
Jumpropeman: explains why he did that like ten more times during the escort too
Kuro: at that point that escortee should have just clung to your leg like a scared child
