Radio Pirate Artichoke: Polly Wanna Crack Rock
Extra large portion of auditory abuse for filling your gaping sonic chasms.
Makin' Bacon
Mmm... bacon.
Some time ago I discovered a really cool piece of software. It's called RPG Maker VX and it's part of a family of programs that are essentially game engines for RPGs. You can determine the content and the mechanics of the game in any way you please. In effect you can make your very own RPG. Need I say that this is awesome? NEED I? HUH?
Anyway, I played around with it for a while and let me tell you I enjoyed it. Also, I made part of a game. Which I will attach at the end of the post for your perverted pleasure. You perverts. You sickos. You disgust me. Get out of my house. What's that, you're not in my house? Shut up! SILENCE!
My game has a rudimentary plot and a few quests. Those of you with a particular ethnic background will get the references and the game's immature title, the rest of you will have to wallow in your ignorance pool. Go on, wallow. You filthy, dirty wallowers, with your disgusting, perverted wallowing. You make me sick, what are you doing in my house again?
So... Download the game if old-school RPGs are your thing, run the file and then when it extracts run the Game.exe. Scan it first, I didn't put anything in there intentionally but you never know what kind of internet assmonkey has crawled in there and laid its putrescent shitspawn. I haven't encrypted the files of my game so if you care for that kind of thing, get your stinky selves a copy of RPG Maker VX and try and make your own game or fuck mine up if that's your messed up kind of tea. Mmmm... teabags.
But I digress, this is a very preliminary version, it will grow eventually, especially now that I've managed to run RPGMVX on Linux. It will grow and grow until it collapses under the weight of its own awesomeness. And then it will grow some more. So this is a long term plan. It will by no means be a commercial effort and there will be no pressure for it to finish any time soon. But enough of this pointless banter.
Pull my finger.
And just in case any of you get any shitty ideas (Shame on you, I'm not angry, just dissapointed):

Codex Seraphinianus
Shamelessly copied from Wikipedia:
The Codex Seraphinianus is a book written and illustrated by the Italian artist, architect and industrial designer Luigi Serafini during thirty months, from 1976 to 1978. The book is approximately 360 pages long (depending on edition), and appears to be a visual encyclopedia of an unknown world, written in one of its languages, a thus-far undeciphered alphabetic writing.
The Codex is divided into eleven chapters, partitioned into two sections. The first section appears to describe the natural world, dealing with flora, fauna, and physics. The second deals with the humanities, the various aspects of human life: clothing, history, cuisine, architecture and so on. Each chapter seems to treat a general encyclopedic topic.
The illustrations are often surreal parodies of things in our world: bleeding fruit; a plant that grows into roughly the shape of a chair and is subsequently made into one; a lovemaking couple that metamorphoses into a alligator; etc. Others depict odd, apparently senseless machines, often with a delicate appearance, kept together by tiny filaments. There are also illustrations readily recognizable, as maps or human faces. On the other hand, especially in the "physics" chapter, many images look almost completely abstract. Practically all figures are brightly coloured and rich in detail.
The writing system (possibly a false writing system) appears modelled on ordinary Western-style writing systems (left-to-right writing in rows; an alphabet with uppercase and lowercase letters, some of which double as numerals) but is much more curvilinear, not unlike cursive Georgian in appearance. Some letters appear only at the beginning or at the end of words, a feature shared with Semitic writing systems. The language of the codex has defied complete analysis by linguists for decades. The number system used for numbering the pages, however, has been cracked (apparently independently) by Allan C. Wechsler and Bulgarian linguist Ivan Derzhanski, among others. It is a variation of base 21. In a talk at the Oxford University Society of Bibliophiles held on May 8th 2009, Serafini has stated that the script of the Codex is asemic, that his own experience in writing it was closely similar to automatic writing, and that what he wanted his alphabet to convey to the 'reader' is the sensation that children feel in front of books they cannot yet understand, although they see that their writing does make sense for grown-ups.
