I don't know why, but I find it hilarious for the morrowind "mod" to be hobbled together star wars and fallout stuff. There is something interesting about the concept of blending paranormal activities into technology. With modern life becoming more hi-tech, integrating a variety of electronics and with it games, applications, etc. to see this jump from no longer it being haunted houses and creepy old woods, but now mysterious websites, and unexplained games. edit: The Ring books were pretty good. Though it started to get a bit to weird towards the end in the third book.

Okay I might be nuts, but this has bugged me for years and I'll contribute all the information I can to help solve this mystery. When I was younger, I got a new computer through Best Buy, but it was built/shipped from HP. It was a Pentium II, right towards the end of their lifespan because I remember the PIII's coming out a month or two later. I hadn't installed any games on it (that I remember), but maybe a couple demo discs (I remember playing the demo for Shogo: Mobile Armor Division on it). I was dicking around with the search function and found a sound file, but it was nested in a Windows directory, I don't remember which one specifically. The sound file was of an imp-like creature with a heavy lisp saying, "There's no room for PUSSIES in Satan's army!" That's it. I have no idea where it came from. I have played TONS of games since, and have never come across this soundbite. Keep in mind that there was basically nothing installed at this point and it was in a Windows directory, so was it added at HP?? Seriously what the gently caress. I'll try to add a soundbite impersonation of it when I get back to the house, maybe it'll spark someone's memory.

Spawn, apparently. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=%22There%27s+no+room+for+PUSSIES+in+Satan%27s+army!%22 edit: both the spawn movie and the Pentium II came out in 1997, according to Wikipedia. And the HBO miniseries ran from 1997-1999. Strenuous Manflurry fucked around with this message at 18:32 on May 18, 2011 |

I'd hate to see this thread die, I actually read through the whole thing recently. So I'll try to recall a few hoaxes that my school yard passed around. Remember those little Digimon tamagochi things? My friends were convinced that if you pulled off the little plastic cage without breaking it it would unlock more powerful digimon. This obviously is false but it was just part of what was spread along side the Triforce in the forest shop, Mew in the truck, etc Another one that went along the school yard was how to get Knuckles in Sonic & Knuckles to play in the Death Egg Zone without use of the level select code. It had something to do with getting all the Chaos emeralds and finding an alternative path out of Lava Reef zone to enter a different opening in Hidden Palace Zone. Also the greatest hoax of them all. In the credits of Lester the Unlikely it specifically says you have not seen the last of Lester. Well, I'm still waiting. There was a sequel supposedly planned, surprisingly so considering how the first game turned out) but ultimately was cancelled - though I could have easily gotten that information years ago and spread false information. I also remember a hoax from Link to the Past where if you killed the exploding floating Octopus enemy as well as all the little miniature octopi that had been released from its corpse before they faded away you would get a valuable optional item. Where it would fit in the inventory screen? I don't know but at that age I never really thought about it. Houle fucked around with this message at 08:20 on May 26, 2011 |

xyxyxyxyxyxyxy..., etc. <- Level Select code It isn't that terrible of a game. Sure the controls and concept is absolutely horrendous but it was a fun quirky title I took as a parody of the island adventure sub genre. Growing up I only had about 14 games between 1989-2000, that being one of the three I owned on SNES I managed to get accustomed to the controls enough to run through it. It's a bad game, sure but I wouldn't say it is completely unplayable if you are going in thinking that it is a bad game you will have a hell of a lot more fun. To bring it back to something sort of on topic in Ocarina of Time if you head over to the Goron Mines and enter Darunia's room if you look up you will notice a gap in the ceiling. For the longest time it was passed around that this was some sort of hidden entrance to a new dungeon that, naturally, we thought would eventually unlock the Triforce. It wasn't until much later did we figure out it was most likely just the original spawning point for when you beat Dondogo's Cavern

Christ, I read the whole thread. Took over a week.  The unfinished WoW stuff was great back in the day before datamining became so common place. I did discover one mildly interesting thing since cataclysm: due north of the Twilight Highlands, in the fatigue zone there is a fleet of alliance ships just floating there, in formation as I recall. There are several out there with no mobs/npcs/anything in or around them. While blizzard was notorious for leaving unfinished/forgotten assets all over the place a long time ago, it's unusual to see it in the most recent expansion. I did a little bit of searching on wowhead/wowpedia and didn't find anything, but I didn't exactly try very hard. I'd post screenshots, but I'm almost 6 weeks clean and hope to stay that way, they shouldn't be hard to find though. It's no upsidedown sinners, but it's something. RE: The Fallout 3 Dunwich building mentioned ...somewhere in this thread. It's the only place in the game where you're subjected tocreepy, jump scare-inducing flashbacks, haunted doors, etc. The circumstances surrounding the place is expanded on in the Point Lookout DLC. According to the cut alternate plot, they were going to take it even further too. I've been thinking about reinstalling Morrowind again lately. I don't think I will. Ever.

Fumes in one of the vaults in the game do cause some weird jump-scare-esque flashbacks, that are actually pulled off quite well, but they're more slow and suspenseful. There's also the hallucination scene in the Point Lookout main quest that's on par with them, which I think deserves a spot here because, if you explained it to someone, it sounds exactly like one of those creepypasta stories.

Going back briefly to the Earthbound discussion from a view pages ago, my favorite thing about it is whenever you show it to people who haven't seen it before. They always go "yeah it's a bit weird, but I don't see a baby  ". Then about 10 minutes later they edit their post saying "OH GOD THERE IT IS  ". I never had a hard time seeing it because I had heard about it before I played the game. And with all the other creepy and weird poo poo going on during that fight the baby imagery isn't hard to buy.Anyways, one of the hoaxes me and my friends spread around a lot as a kid involved Animal Crossing. We were utterly convinced there was some way to get into Tom Nook's store at night. No idea why. We just thought you could do it and tried a bunch of stupid things to make it happen.

ChuckDHead posted:It is harder, but is definitely possible to do, because if I can, anyone can (I never have completed and never will complete a Megaman game). Funnily enough, a friend said to me recently that you couldn't beat the Death Egg Zone as Knuckles because of the jump height. This jump height thing is a pretty popular misconception. After watching this video, I'm thoroughly confused. I swear, as many times as I've played that, I always got stuck at that boss. The first part of it was easy enough, but for me he never dropped down to fire lasers. He just bobbed out of reach and then time would run out. Every time. I think I'm going to have to try that again, because something isn't right. Also, is there any specific reason that Sonic 3 and S+K aren't rereleased together anymore? I'm pretty sure they're 2 separate things on XBL, and I think the old PC version I had was 2 separate games. This may also be something I'm mis-remembering. edit - This video, linked in an earlier post. Whoops. Rack fucked around with this message at 15:32 on May 28, 2011 |

Back to Earthbound, for a second: apparently the room you enter to reach the Devil's Machine is shaped like a cervix which lends more credence to the "abortion" theory http://superfani.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/oh_shi.jpg. Apparently all of his lines are taken from the rape scene's dialogue as if to suggest that he is a product of an evil event. That boss battle (especially with the music) freaks me the gently caress out. Resident Evil 2: Akuma There was a popular rumor that circulated the Internet following April Fool's day that originated from an Electronic Gaming Monthly article that talked about a secret character named "Akuma" from Street Fighter 2. Some said that you had to beat the game 7 times with an A rating or something while others said you had to beat the game using only a knife and not using any health power ups (impossible).

When you first go to Twilight Highlands, you're flying with Garrosh in a fleet of zepplins and support fighters. When Garrosh sees the alliance ships below, he orders the support fighters to attack, leaving the zepplins open to being attacked by dragons, and then you end up at Dragonmaw hold when everything goes to poo poo.

Probably because it was quite obviously created by a dude in this effing thread in a single blog post dated like the day before/day of his post in the thread. It's a cool creepy little story but there's no way in hell it's true. I guess there's a chance that the game's development changed directions, but that's not exactly an uncommon thing, and the basis for it presented here was a total fabrication.

And even ignoring that it's obviously made up. Every single claim he makes is purposefully unverifiable. It's all "there was a this developer but he's not credited and only some people know about him", "he wrote horror stories for some underground magazines", "a dev confirms this but he wants to remain anonymous", "I found this crazy screenshot in some old magazine". And the screenshot would be very easy to fake by photoshopping the magazine page, printing it out and taking a bad quality photo of it. It's still nicely done, at least it doesn't end with the secret mad developer coming out of the game to eat his soul.

It's a true story, but it gets often misinterpreted. What really did happen was that a young and impressionable Itoi walked into a film during a violent murder scene, which at his young age thought was a violent rape scene. Apparently it hosed up his perception of sex for many years to come. Regardless, the movie has no rape scene but apparently has a scene where a woman gets murdered with a lot of screaming and fighting.
