I've decided to write a story. I was planning on making it funny... but then I decided not to. Have fun! It's only started...
This person walked alone. He was, typically, not very special. He, in a generic manner, had black hair. He wore a generic black jacket. His clothes were nondescript and bland. His eyes were the most spectacular shade of brown. Indeed, he was the sort of person that no descriptions were needed about. He walked along in his typical generic boots, not caring about anyone and anything. He was thinking about something. He had been thinking of this for the past few days, and it was probably about how generic his life was. Indeed, he felt as though his days were endless, each one almost the same as the last. Like the puppet of an unimaginative puppetmaster, he lived his life slowly. He dreaded the morning. He would wake up and find the world had nothing new to offer him. He would go to work and find there was still nothing new. He would go home and... well, you get the picture. Nevertheless, he trudged on in his life. Until one day, a car hit him and he died. And so our story begins. This man was only the beginning of our story. But what I haven't told you... despite how generic and boring his life may have seemed, he was actually involved in a conspiracy. A strange conspiracy... There was an odd thing about this man's death. There was just something that was hard to out a finger on. A journalist, one day, took a strange interest in the story of the man who died. There was no true reason why; the journalist couldn't explain it. They just felt the need to investigate this matter. Perhaps it was because the story had attracted more attention that it should have. Indeed, the man's death was front page news. As the journalist sat in the small, enclosed, coffee shop, they ordered a coffee and took out the newspaper. Despite the death having only occurred a week ago, due to a printing error, the newspaper was labeled as being from ten years ago. The article, for something on the front page, was remarkably short...
So, why was this on the front page of the paper? Not just one one paper; on EVERY paper. Every newspaper, from the Times to the Herald Sun, featured the same photograph of a man in a black jacket, lying face down in a pool of blood. Even the text was the same... As the journalist finished their cup of coffee, they packed up the newspaper, and left, headed for the local archives... Hopefully, this sounds good. If not, please give me suggestions! And now, for the "teaser text"! What mysteries await our unnamed, unspecified reporter? Who is this mysterious man? Why was his death so significant? Mystery, action, suspense, and excitement await you! ...hopefully. ____________________ Love your lawn. |

Here we go again...
The journalist stared at the small building on the side of the somewhat deserted street... the archives. In the distance, the sound of several dogs barking could be heard... perhaps a fight was happening in one of the side streets... Shaking their head, the journalist entered the building. Beyond the front door was the reception area. A deserted reception desk, with a bell on top, was the only real thing of interest in the room. Slowly closing the front door, the journalist decided to take a look around. The walls were covered with a rather flimsy looking wallpaper. The room seemed to be little used; almost everything was covered with a layer of dust. The front door was rather old-fashioned, and the dust on it seemed to be spread much less than the dust on the walls. There were two doors at the back of the room, one of which would probably lead into the archives. The journalist rang the bell, which seemed to be the only thing in the room that didn't have a layer of dust on it. An elderly woman came before the bell had even stopped ringing, moving with surprising speed from the door beside the desk. "Hello, there. Are you here to use the archives?" The journalist nodded, and the person went and unlocked the other door. Inside, the room looked like an out-of-place remainder of the old century. The room was filled with filing cabinets, each packed with newspapers, magazines, and other things. In the centre of the room were a few bookcases... and a man in an oversized trenchcoat. "Hey... what are you doing here?" he said, as the journalist closed the door. Turning around, he saw the journalist. "Oh, it's you. I need your help... and if you help me, I'll help you. But first... how're you going? Has your amnesia cleared yet?" The journalist did, indeed, have amnesia. A few years ago, the journalist had been the victim of a mysterious accident. The accident, however, had been covered up by the government. Nobody knew why. The journalist spent a year in a coma, but were revived thanks to a new technique that was in practice at that hospital. Unfortunately, they later found out that the journalist had severe amnesia. They couldn't remember anything... not even their name. This suited the government fine. The journalist became one of the many government-supported residents of the city; they received a house to live in, and were given a place to work at. The journalist wasn't really a journalist; they just went around, gathering information. But they still worked as a writer, writing articles for newspapers and magazines, so they just called the journalist a... journalist. "No, I can't remember anything." "Nothing at all? Not even your name?" "Nothing." In all the time the journalist had been without their memory, they had never been given a name. Perhaps they thought they would remember it eventually. Or perhaps they thought it was better that way. But it had been a few years now, and the journalist still couldn't remember their name. A person living without a name would have once been impossible. But society had changed. No questions were asked anymore, and identification was optional. It was possible for a person to be completely anonymous... to live without any identification, or record of their existence anywhere. "Well... some people have asked me to investigate things that are kinda... hard to believe... First, people have reported sightings of strange creatures during the daytime. Some people describe them as demons. However, all the people I've asked about it have told me that the rumour says they only appear when they want to. So that seems like it will lead nowhere. The next one is even stranger. People have said they have been seeing strange, metallic, creatures roaming the streets at night. The strange thing is... whenever they're reported , the sightings are usually denied the next day! However, people are scared. Unfortunately, nobody seems crazy enough to believe these stories... the only reason I'm looking into it is because they told me I'm the only person left who will believe them. I don't really believe them, but I am curious..." So, who was this person? Unlike the journalist, they knew who exactly they were. He technically worked as a journalist, but he usually went and found out information for people. Some people just called him a detective. "You want me to help you with them, then? I will, but only if you help me with this thing here..." "What are you investigating?" "I was reading the newspaper... did you hear about the guy that died?" "I don't read the newspaper... and, to be honest, you're the only person I know that does." "Look at this..." The journalist pulled out the newspaper and showed the "detective". Then, the journalist pulled out another newspaper. And another. Until ten different newspapers, each with the same heading, were on the desk in front of the "detective". "Okay... that IS weird." Suddenly, they both heard a scream. Hopefully, this came out good too! If not, I'm still looking for suggestions. And now, for the teaser text! Why does the journalist know this man? Where could this be going? Who IS the journalist, anyway? What was that scream just then? What are the government up to? What's up with the man that got killed? Mystery, action, suspense, and excitement await you! ...hopefully. ____________________ Love your lawn. |

Posted by Zidanerfox Posted by ZidanerfoxFrom the looks of it, I think those blocks are from the Wily stages in Megaman 3. Not sure, but I don't think your graphics are custom. Sorry.

I love how you talk about not wanting to distribute an old version, and then posting a link to the IPS patch... on your site?! Which is likely to be old and outdated!
So why not post a link to the original site? EDIT: Oh, look, on the official site, no less, it specifically states "DO NOT redistribute the IPS files exhibited here." In ENGLISH. ____________________ Love your lawn. |

Posted by KDE User XThat's your opinionPosted by InsectduelHell no, all-stars versions music sucks,Posted by Ailure There's an SMB3 editor with support for the SMAS SMB3. There is also a Japanese tool that converts SMB hacks (or rather, levels) into SMAS ones. (I can't remember how to use it, though. Damn instructions...) I started with the SNES versions; thus, I have more happy memories of SMAS than I do with the originals. Opinions again. ____________________ Love your lawn. |

Posted by CyclopsCavemanI agree with you. Miners Lament is a rather ugly-looking beast. (No offense to KP, and so on). Personally, I voted Fragmentation. But really? I think it should be the old Fish Fad theme. :3 EDIT: Or Desolation, but only if everything was fixed up. Like the background. And the logo. ____________________ Love your lawn. |

By removing my avatar, I've EDIT: Disregard that, I suck. It appears that it's not really fixed, unless I make long posts or put whitespace in my signature. But whitespace makes babies cry. ____________________ Love your lawn. |

I just changed my vote from Fragmentation to Daily Cycle 2. I love this theme. I wish there was a version with a fixed background, though  ____________________ Love your lawn. |

Is it just me, or does the first post lack a link to the actual Fraxy site? What's the point of having a post like that if it doesn't link to the latest version of Fraxy? ____________________ Love your lawn. |

Before I start - Why is it perpetually the 31st of March 2008, at 05:43:34 AM? Well, anyway...
So, it seems to me that having those two forums (Spatula, Adult discussion) in a "category" at the very bottom of the index, literally uncategorized, is silly. For starters, they're pretty much too low; I had forgotten they were there. They don't seem to get much discussion, as well! Secondly, I don't see the point of having two forums that are literally polar opposites (One meant for SERIOUS BUSINESS, the other for lighthearted foolishness) in the same section, next to each other. Wouldn't it be better to throw both in General? (Hey, craziness is a pretty normal thing. As is serious discussion.) It's not like the craziness or seriousness will leak out or anything, after all. And, on an unrelated note, wouldn't Forum Games go better in creativity? It just seems like it would fit better to me... you know? ____________________ Love your lawn. |

I just went through most of my old posts! It was very nostalgic.
Along with various amusing quotes and things that I had forgotten about (Wow, 1024x768 looks hilariously small now) I found this! Amazing, isn't it? ____________________ Love your lawn. |

I'm less worried, when it comes to time travel, about what I experienced and memories/nostalgia (although I'd love to relive those... ) and more about the stuff I missed out on. I feel I missed so much.
I sorta wish I was born, like, ten years earlier than I was... know what I mean? ____________________ Love your lawn. |

Hey! This is roxahris! I've been playing around with FL recently, and I thought I might as well post the stuff I've done here. Well, more like crosspost.
Twinbee Project - BGM 1: I think this is the first one I did. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound very special. Megaman 9 - Flash in the Dark: I still don't know the meaning of "rendering". In this case, I decided to try and do a NES-style remix of a remix of a NES-style song. Great. Ha. Megaman Battle Chip Challenge - Strong Opponent (MMBN5 DS-style): This is another "rendering". But it's a proper rendering, I think. Anyway, it's done to sound like a song from the DS Megaman Battle Network 5, due to the samples. I accidentally the keyboard, Part II. It's a part of three. The other two suck horribly. The Street Of Rage: It's a bit messed up in the lead, but I think it came out okay overall. Chrono Trigger - Wings That Cross Time (X68000 version): This is a rendering of an X68000 remix of said song. I like the song, so... yeah! Megaman 3 - Password: This is a nice, happy song. I think it came out okay. ____________________ Love your lawn. |
