I've been trying to find this weird hand drawn comic posted on the forums about scientists turning people into flesh monsters that eventually cover the earth. They try to blow up the flesh earth from space but fail. The moral of the story was to treat science and religion as equals or some poo poo.

There was a book I read in middle school about some kid on a trip to the desert with his dad who gets teleported to another planet or something. Bright flash of light, then he's alone in the middle of some jungle and has to learn to survive. He meets a tribe of people and starts living with them, then he gets captured by another group and eventually becomes their leader. He lives this whole life out there, gets married to some lady named Meg'haan or something, then gets teleported back at the end of the book. Reminded me a bit of the John Carter series.

I cannot for the life of me find this drat book again. I've been looking for years.

Does the goon who published Goonbumps still post? I don't remember what his name was or what the thread was where people shared scary stories together. I wanted to see if he could get the book published on Kindle and I could buy it that way.

Third was one of the many music threads here, where people were making acapella covers of video game music. this song came out of that thread and if anyone knows the thread or what game this came from (I think the file name was originally Anachronox but as far as I was able to find there isn't really a song like this in that game?) that would be super cool
e- it just occurred to me this thread would have been 2005 or 2006. yikes.

Wudz posted:

You might be right! I'm not super familiar with browsing the archives, is it normal for it to think pages 10 and beyond don't exist?
Actually it looks like it was included in a bundle of songs from previous threads, so I'll see if I can't dig back further from there. Thanks!

I registered for this forum in 2007 specifically because a thread about some guy finding and posting his room mate's 60+ page, stream-of-consciousness sonic the hedgehog fan fiction porn and posting it here, and I thought it was so goddamn funny I couldn't not register.

The "novel" was this horrific monstrosity, the entirety of which read like some idiot teenager's stream-of-consciousness sonic porn fever dream that went something like... "and then sonic said hey tails i want to suck your penis and then tails said yes that sounds good i leik you to suck on my penis and then sonic picked up tails penis and then put it in his mouth mmm that is good said tails and then dr egg man walk in and said hey wait and then" for like... a full 60 pages.

Then a couple of voice actors recorded excerpts of the thing, which were later played over the stereo at a party the author attended without him ever knowing they'd been discovered beforehand.

Anybody have that sonic porn document?

GreatGreen posted:

Dang, I don't have archives access.

Thanks for finding that though. And there were no working direct links to download the document in there?

Maybe 15 years ago, SA had a contest that was 'cover a song, in a different genre'. I think the results got posted on the front page? Anyway, there were two songs that just stood out, one was a techno reworking of 'Kashmir' by Led Zep and the other was a lounge act version of 'Space Odyssey' that I distinctly remember being titled 'Space Oddity'. Did anyone save them? Or am I just remembering something that didn't happen?

Hi Guys!

1)A few hard drive crashes ago, I lost all my image archives, spanning back from the early 2000s. But I am trying to replace them when I think of the again. This one I've been trying for a few months:

It is a color illustration that looks to be in an Alchemy/Study. There are 2 figures, shown directly from the side. One is a large, scary monster wearing a robe. The other is a girl or woman, much smaller in scale. The monster is extending a robotic bladelike hand towards the female character, but in an almost gentle, paternal fashion.

The image made the rounds about 10 years ago?

I have another request:

Years ago, in the old Laissez's Faire (LF) forum, there were a couple of memes going around:

Riffs on a terrible FEMA coloring book, as lampooned in this front-page article

and

A widely-derided propaganda chart showing some bullshit correlation between gun ownership and violence rates (I think), which was known as the "gun chart"


At one point someone mashed these together; the below image was edited:



only, instead of a crudely-rendered tornado and a "good kid award" ribbon, it was instead the gun chart in the background and the kid was wearing a "gun chart award" ribbon.


Does anyone still have this? I think I once managed to find the thread in LF again some time ago, but many of the image links had since died.

A series of posts about Goons getting up to no good in the MMO Age of Wushu. It was either in the MMO trolling thread or in its own thread, but the posts covered poo poo like Goons taking their characters to a player hub, getting absolutely drunk, and then getting other players drunk by vomiting on them, or baiting a player into killing a low level player, putting a bounty on the killer, and then jailing them so they'd miss some tournament/event.

I've been looking for the posts for a while now but I can't find them.

There was a page, I'm not sure but it MIGHT have been Live Journal, that long ago, where a woman basically just spat word salad about her 'naming' and 'writing' and 'producing' like, 99% of the world's music. She obviously had something going on in her head, but it was just such a charming long shaggy dog story about every single famous person ever and how she'd 'come up' with their names, something like that.

I remember she was VERY into Amy Lee and Evanescence, and also she had multiple pages written about the Beatles and Paul McCartney. Does anyone else remember this?

Over the last ~10 years, there have been a half dozen or so mock threads on tvtropes on the somethingawful forum. Occasionally I will stumble on one of the old ones by mistake when someone links it, but using either the forum search or google to find them never yields anything. Does a repository of links to them exist? On a related note, is there a link to the writing projects that came out of them? I think one of them was about writing poetry and I remember it being pretty interesting.

googling this has been an experience. Does anyone have the (quite long) audio file of 'epic movie anouncer voice' going through what i vaguelly recall being edgy videogame nicknames like "absolute cum bucket".
The audio has swelling ambient pads as background music.

Is there a way to find the old creepy story threads or kind of a condominium of them? I want to read back through them.

Pretty sure that I found there here so here goes: During hurricane Katrina someone posted a link to a kind of blog of a guy that was working in a datacenter in New Orleans. He stayed at the datacenter throughout the hurricane and for a few days/weeks after as well. During this time he would post pictures that he took looking out the windows of the building to the blog and gave kind of an hour by hour account of his experiences. The posting was probably less frequent than hourly, but you get the idea. Anybody else remember this and have a link?

Who's the online artist that makes concept art of various types of mecha, usually with accompanying lore? I remember some of the concepts were biomechanical and others were just heavy mechanical with a strong influence from old Soviet or German tanks, and some weren't even mecha at all but wasteland scavengers in plague doctor masks, or twisted energy beings or creatures.

Thank you!!!

Does anyone have a copy of "Cradle and All" by James Patterson published before the year 2000?

- This book has been published several times over the years, with updates to technology and pop culture (the 2000 edition mentions email, the 2016 edition mentions Twitter, etc)
- According to Goodreads, it was first published in 1980
- It may have been published under the title "Virgin"

Anyone have leads?

Not willing to pay a premium, I'd prefer to borrow a copy from a library or if someone wants to lend it to me for free I'll pay for shipping
