This list of sagas generated by Something Awful is incomplete. You can help by expanding it. (By writing your own summary, improving on mine, providing links to the original threads, providing more relevant or iconic images, providing actual screen names of the goons involved, or by going out and doing something dumb yourself.)

Most images compiled by forums poster The Saddest Rhino in the previous thread.

GiP mod grover posts images of his DIY home renovation/remodel/addition. Hilarity ensues when the renovations are comically inept and grover has a staggering lack of sense of humor about it. Grover also insisted that his civilian contractor rank made him the same as a colonel in the armed forces and provided a bullet-point list of predictions for the Iraq War, all of which were extremely wrong in hindsight.

Forums user BeatMasterJ posts about his upstairs bathroom renovations in the DIY subforum, talking about wanting a sunken bathtub. In one image it is clear that he has sawed through the top of the I-beams in the bathroom floor in order to make this. After being roundly mocked for this and the mockup of the final design, he lets slip that he wants to make a bathroom that will appeal to women because they hold “disproportionate power” when a couple is purchasing a house. He disappears for months and then comes back with images of the final product, which is horrifying.

Much laughter, multiple photoshops, and a Doom .wad are produced.

Since it’s going to come up pretty soon, here’s the link to the thread for Moments: A Game of Consequences.


https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3486052&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1

It’s basically the most successful CYOA that’s ever been held on the forums, where goons guided a character through their life. It was set up as an ARG where the op “found an old disc” with the game on it.

From SAclopedia:

quote:


Moments was a Choose Your Own Adventure (CYOA) game in GBS which started in May 2012. Written, and continually updated, but the user ExtraNoise the thread quickly became a mainstay on GBS’ front page. As of June 7, 2013 the game is still routinely on the first page, or two, of GBS and has 540 pages and over 120 choices. Supposedly Moments was developed in 1982 as an unreleased DOS game. It follows the main character through their life, from birth to (theoretically) death. Gameplay consists of the user selecting from a list of choices regarding some decision that their character must make. Depending on the option selected (usually either A, B, C, or D) the game progresses forward based upon your character’s action. What makes Moments worthy of recognition is the fact that it was/has been able to hold the attention of Goons for over a year. Each choice was voted on by Goons with ExtraNoise submitting the decision after an unspecified period of time.

In the first, and as of date only, game played, Goons controlled the life of Ethan Lyons, a boy born to a poor couple in Los Angeles sometime in the 1970s. From there the mission was only to keep Ethan alive, and maybe even to let him thrive. While Goons were, somehow, able to keep him alive through childhood (avoiding death by car, kidnapping, electrocution, etc.) we were less successful in creating a well-adjusted person. The “Hive mind” only ever really agreed on one thing, nothing. As a result the choices made were not always the most consistent, swinging wildly between safe/boring, reckless/adventurous, and self-defeating/the “humor” option. An added wrinkle was introduced when it was discovered that by choosing an unlisted option (for instance voting for “C” even though there were only options for “A” and “B”) could not only work, but also have positive outcomes.

As one may expect Goons succeeded in turning Ethan from a wannabe astronaut into an ex hacker/loser who has no friends or close family. The promised showed early in Ethan’s life was betrayed by poor choices, traumatic events, and a game that became increasingly unstable in its later stages. Periodically the game would have minor errors in its text, but these errors became increasingly severe, even at one point requiring a “personality reset” because Goons had so thoroughly hosed Ethan’s identity. Errors continued until early June when the game actually crashed. As of this writing it’s not known if the game will continue, obviously Ethan is living in the distant future to 1982 and ExtraNoise’s role in the development of the game has also come into question

With all of this said the thread is clearly destined for the Goldmine as it has been an incredibly enjoyable ride. Early on in the thread ExtraNoise mentioned that when it was all over he may make the game available, but more than likely the popularity of the game is derived mostly from the interaction, and unpredictable decisions, of other Goons. Moments will live on for a long time as one of SA’s milestone threads

Thanks to NOW, I now have a glass-block chamber full of about twenty fairies. Since I literally wrote the book on how to torment fairies, I've been performing various experiments on them. But, alas, I have more of them than experiments given Minecraft's limited toolset in that area, so I'm open to suggestions on what to do with the survivors, ahem, remainder.

I can say that they despawn when out-of-sight unless given a headband of flowers, stay spawned if headbanded as long as you stay within the 81-block mob management radius of Minrcraft, and make a lot of very annoying noises when in close proximity. Also, setting the queen on fire and letting her die that way makes it far easier to capture her flock of groupies.

Finally, I found that replacing fairies' pain and death sounds with actual scream sounds makes for a far creepier experience when, say, setting them on fire with a flint and steel. (If anyone wants those I might bundle 'em for download.)

I was sure that "fecal lasagna" was one of Joey Vapes's stories, but a) I can't actually find Joey Vapes's thread, and b) a search indicates that it comes from this thread. Any suggestions on the Joey Vapes thread?

Here’s the original Joey Vapes thread:

Here’s a pdf someone made of his stories:

Hiking Across America is one of the ones that occasionally spontaneously pops into my head, a goon tried to walk across America and didn't even make it out of the park he started in because he brought nothing to eat except gorp even though experienced hikers had repeatedly told him to bring actual food otherwise he could literally die.

Someone linked that recently. Muerte's Hiking Across America.

BFC is a favorite of mine for drama.
- Slo Motion (original thread as he's since cleaned up his act)
- Zaurg: All the threads except the most recent. The early threads were sincere - I think they were also the origin of the Goons Pissing in a Well analogy - but the last 1-2 are total threadshitting by Zaurg and Goons.
- Blue Story: Froofy sandwiches, an allergy to vegetables, band t-shirts and STAR WARS.

Since it’s going to come up pretty soon, here’s the link to the thread for Moments: A Game of Consequences.

It’s basically the most successful CYOA that’s ever been held on the forums, where goons guided a character through their life. It was set up as an ARG where the op “found an old disc” with the game on it.

From SAclopedia:

I should mention that I'm pretty certain this was a real game because I played it as a kid. I haven't read the thread and don't know how much of the thread might have been embellishing on the game itself, but the game was definitely real.
