I just have one question..

Are the walking deads still there?

Zombies. Lots and lots of zombies. Obscuring everything.

[Rules:]

Well. According to the PM I just recieved I won the Puzzletime competition!
w00T!!11!

Rules: Every week a post will be made with a list of items and a scenario. Using your wit, skill and lack of mental health; find a way to complete the scenario with the items provided. You can only use a set number of items of your own choice. When I say use your skill, use it. For example: you have a boulder and a reinforced window. I advise not using Pick Up boulder chuck through window. Think of something adventuresque to use

Scenario
Okay, I'm going to give this one multiple rooms...for added...um...complexity...

You have access to a front hallway, living room, a kitchen, a bathrom, your bedroom and a cellar, you also have a front garden but...what with the zombies and all you probably don't want to go there...
You need to find some way to stop the zombie hordes from being a threat, by either escaping unknown, getting them to go away, zombie-proofing your house or even going out there androyally whooping the rotten, mangled arses of those reanimated mofos...So long as you do it in an intelligent...adventure gamey kinda way..

There's no rule that says you have to use all these objects or even all the rooms, make your soloution as simple or complicated as you want.

Have fun.

Yay! I have three votes!

I can't decide who to vote...there's so many great entries but in the end I thiiink...Isegrim...

This is a great contest. I hope it becomes part of the usual Competitions and Activietys canon.

Angry... 

Good Gravy!

Allright, So i may suck. But when it comes to promptnwess there's few who can beat me at the ol' caption contest.

[NEXT:]

BOO-YA!

NEXT: Guybrush jr's first day of school.

Geniune piece of Trivia here:
I was watching the Powerpuff Girls movie frame by frame and pretending that Gennedy Tartatovsky was lecuring me on animation...naked. to get a feel for the animation process when I noticed something it the bottom right corner of the 'underwater' scene. Amongst all the floating debris is a pot of 'Dapper Dan' hair gel. Plus, when they're on that big floating rock listening to the screams from the planet earth their poses are the same as the three wise monkies. Y'see. 'Cos they represent anything against evil...and the villians are monkies! IT SO SMART! PLUS, when the giant Mojo rips the wall off the building then all the people inside are cartoon versions of staff from Cartoon Network PLUS, I've seen that movie far too many times...

...

Ahem, In the movie 'Terminator'. Arnie had to wear a big metal suit for the chase scene at the end. Unfortunately he had an eplileptic fit while wearing it. They used the footage anyway.

SQUEEE!
It's me!
That has to win now, it has me in it! 

I think Strong Bad used it once...

Y'know. My family have been thinking of switching to a service like this rather than normal phone. I'll warn them about it.

Added Items:
Dead Squirrel
Shredded kite
Chimeny

EXAMINE boulder
You notice that there are flies buzzing around the base. Maybe it's a secret insect meeting point, Maybe they're planning world domination, Maybe I should have taken my pills this morning...

USE boulder
Your floppy little arms are useless against the wrath of the inaminate boulder of doom.

USE large stick on boulder
You think back to physics lessons and vaguely remember a comic you were reading at the time that involved the protagonist using a lever to shift a heavy object.
You push the boulder off the left revealing a dead squirrel.

EXAMINE dead squirrel
It appears to be a flying squirrel. How it managed to get underneath a boulder you'll never know. You briefly entertain the idea that he might have been crushed by it after lifting it above his head to impress a lady squirrel. he should've used a lever.

GET dead flying squirrel
Yummy!

EXAMINE shredded kite
The frame and string seems to be intact. But the canvas looks like a sieve...If you think sieves look like ripped up kites, that is.

USE dead flying squirrel on shredded kite
With absoubtly no respect for the dead. You stretch out the deceased rodent across the frame of the kite. This is just crazy enough to work.

EXAMINE Chimney
Chim chemeny chim chimeny chim chim cheroo
It's looks big ebnough for you to fit through
Chim chemeny chim chimeny chim chim cheroo
Unfortunately it's out of reach for you.

USE squirrely kite of doom with chimeny
You lauch your newfangled kite thing into the air, it floats about for a second, the light catching the rotting flesh of the squirrel in a beutiful way. The the wind dies and the squirrel crashes into chimney in, who'd of thought, EXACTLY the right way so that it's firmly attached to it.
You climb the kite string and go through the chimney.

Once inside, the window swings open by itself. Isn't that just bloody typical...

Try making him lift his leg before it goes forward rather than just have it sliding out.

Presenting...The worlds most useless superhero...
CLIMB FIGHTING MAN!!!

He...Y'know..stops people from...climbing...

*Goes and stands next to Haddas and forms a club.

Well...the templates don't seem to work with my version of AGS...maybe you could look into that...

Three words:

Smug

Tampon

Bitches!

I liked Starship Troopers, I didn't love it, but it seemed like a perfectly decent piece of entertainment with a few smart ideas to give it some weight.

Maybe it's just one o' those films where you just have to read the book before you can form a valid opinion. But I liked it.

Well...My only real critisism is that the characters all have quite similar poses...

Try and make their posture reflect their personalitys.

It's really nice.
Try studying Jakes original 2D walk and imitating it and hopefully you'll get him to move as well as he looks

Well. I love Donnie Darko, I love Amelie even more.
Temple of Doom isn't as good as the other parts of the series. But it is very nice to look at and the moments of humour are..um..humorous...

I really don't have much of a strong opinion on Lord of the Rings...

Ooh! I've just thought of another:
Star wars: Episode 1

[5: Hulk]

Well, I had a search around and it didn't look like there'd been a topic dedicated to this before.
And even if there has been, we can still have fun with this this, right?

...

Right?

Okay den!

Here are my five least favourite films. Most of them are pretty recent due to me being young and inexperienced.

5: Hulk
Hulk smash! Hulk jump! Hulk make some horrible attempt at artsy-fartsy dialouge! Hulk jump some more! Hulk shows off his CGI muscles from THREE DIFFERENT ANGLES! And more jumping...

Well...maybe you just need to be a fan of the comic to really get it, but to me, this film was a dull, reliefless slog through tediousville accompanied by graphics that look almost good enough to be in a video game.
I think this movie could have benifitted from dumbing itself down a bit and aiming a little more in the direction of entertainment. I mean, to be honest, it's a little hard to take a film about a muscle-bound shrek in green boxer shorts seriously. Tongues should be in cheeks at all times.


4: Dinosaur

Eisner: I have an idea for a movie!
Staff: Yay! What's it about?
Eisner: It's a 3D movie...
Staff: Yeah, but...what's it about?
Eisner:...It...it's 3D...


Okay, you've got some pretty looking dinosaurs.
You've got some pretty looking locations all over the world.
You've got the ability to ability to splurge it all together and make it beutiful.

So what was wrong with this?
Well, it was utterly, utterly formulaic. Now, this isn't always a bad thing, but when you use the formulas in this sickeningly pants fashion it all seems like a waste of a perfectly decent animation team...


3: Ghost in the Shell
My God...The Wachowski brothers must adore this movie...

Now, I'm not going to attempt to say this is a bad film because it has a huge fan base and many redeeming features. It's thought-provoking, detailed and visually stunning.
No, this film is on my list simply because it is not my cup of tea...

The main reason this film was so hard for me to watch was the endless sea of increasly confusing dialouge. I mean, it's okay in a manga. People are aloud to talk alot because speech is instantly there in the readers brain and if your brain starts to melt you can just read it again. In a film it actually takes time to say things and it begins to get tedious when there's nothing much physically happening to break it up.

In fact, that's the only reason I found this film hard to watch. The yhing is, when you're using animation there's practically no limits to what you can show on screen, and these guys know that and there are some utterly beutiful sequences in the movie. But the majority of the film is spent talking. It hurts me to see the obvious talent and work that went into creating these scenes is wasted on basically illustrating a radio play.

After watching this film I felt tired, confused and rather like I'd wasted 70 minutes of my life. Sorry, obsessive Animé fans.


2: Deep Blue Sea
I'm the token black guy AND the token religious guy all rolled into one. I can cook too!
Now, THIS film I have no quarms about stating what an a large, steaming pair of old granny bloomers it is!

Seriously, what IS this movie? It's not scary, it's not thought-provoking, it's not even any fun. Why does everyone I meet seem to think this is the ultimate thriller.

Please tell me I'm not alone of this one, Deep Blue Sea is remarkable only because of the fact it is so blatently unremarkable. It adds nothing new or exiting to the world of film and everything in it has been done before and done several squillion times better.


1: The Matrix: Reloaded
Agent Smith was the only thing that made the first film worth watching. He is the one and only, and that's why he's so great. But...wait a minute, now there's THOUSANDS of Smiths, all talking some tripe about purpose...I am not amused!
Okay, I wont spend too much time on this one since there's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said before.

I despise this movie and I know I'm not the only person who feels this way about it.

[me = Eggie] is attacked by a Warner Brothers marketing exectutive who rams his hand into my chest and transforms me into an obsessive Matrix fan.[/me]

Oh em Gee! The camera goes ALL THE WAY around them! Ergo; The Matrix rules! I'm going off to buy a Matrix comic. It can go with my Matrix dental floss, Matrix underwear and limited edition Matrix vibrator!!




Well, that was fun. Post your own typo-laden rants about your least favourite movies. It good for getting the aggression out.
Oh, and if you disagree with my opinion, feel free to say. We're all among friends here *prepares E-mail bomb*
