Why don't we just get a free Cafepress account. That way we could have Spibbly Bluecup T-shirts too.  

The screaming guy is me.

Next up: The seventeenth sign of the apocolypse. (must feature the text: "Spenis").

"Somehow, I always knew there'd be mushrooms in Hell!"

Or somthing like that...I wish I hadn't lost my copy of MI-1/2... :'(

Thanks for the comments (both of them). Now I'll just be off to fix that error.

Edit: Oh yeah, and I LOVED that movie.

[Software pirates of the Caribbean]

Since I'll be on holiday for Andails Short Story contest I figured I'd make a littl story now. You'll probably understand it better if you've seen Pirates of the Caribbean (Which I recommend you do, it's great fun) but any film you've seen that uses CGI technology will apply.

Anyway, it's really, really short so reading won't take too much a chunk out of your day


     Software pirates of the Caribbean

“Arrrr!” Captain Scragglebottom exclaimed as he sat down to eat with the lovely Governors daughter; Miss Generic.

“Tell me, Miss Gurner…”  (She had given the pirate a fake name previously) “What do ye know about this CD-R”
The old pirate reached into his pocket and produced a rewritten Compact Disk. “How did ye come to own it”
Miss Generic paused for a second before saying “I downloaded it off Kazaa.”
Scragglebottoms fist came down hard on the table “Do ye think me a fool, Miss Gurner? Kazaa is respectable software with harsh rules about software piracy!”
The Captain then calmed down and slowly sat back up.
“This disk has a lot of history behind it. Many years ago some sad get came up with an affordable way to create impossible things on screen… Of course, we were jealous so in the dead of night we waited. Then, when he was slouched in front of his computer in a caffeine-induced coma; we stole all his hard work on Compact disks!”

“We frittered them away, selling the technology to large, Hollywood companies. But we soon realised that on all his software the creator had placed a terrible anti-hacking system! We are cursed men, Miss Generic. The only way to lift the curse is to return all the disks and write an amateurish fan-fiction about each movie the technology was used in…”

Miss Generic looked up from hitting the cute, merchandise-friendly monkey that was trying to eat her left ear and said
“I hardly believe in amateurish fan-fiction…”
The Captain slowly leaned forward until the tip of his nose was almost touching hers.
“I’ll prove it!” he said briefly.

Captain Scragglebottom then walked over to an old computer. He brushed some dust off the top and turned it on.
“The light of a computer monitor shows us for what we truly are…”
As Miss Generic watched the pirate began to change. His flesh rotted away, his clothes tore themselves.
“Ye’d better start believing in amateurish fan-fiction, Miss. Ye’re in one!” he said as the transformation was complete.
“My God! You look like something from a cheap Playstation game!” Exclaimed Miss Generic while desperately trying to stop the monkey crawling up her dress”
“Arrr” Captain Scragglebottom said with his lips not-quite-synching-up-to-his-speech “Please refrain from spanking the monkey.”

So what did you think? Was it descriptive enough? Too much dialouge?

Yeah...so..I wouldn't like to find a monkey stealing my bankcard or a beanstalk...or a violent stickman...

Well remove the anonymizer URL once it's been pasted into your addrss bar, f00'!  

Well that kicks arse!

Great concept. ' Can't wait until the animation's finished.

Maybe ifyou placed the "erpent" lower down so it overlapped the tail it might help get across that's next-to the S.

FLLLLUUUUAAARRRGGG! :o

Well. Right click, select "properties", Copy the URL and paste it into your address bar, f00'!  

RARGH! Ph33r t3h b1g cr0c0d1l3 c@v3!!

Sounds pretty cool. You could have an Internet Exporer browser as a GUI.  

Sorrysorrysorrysorry!

Next: The REAL character Disney don't like to talk about.  

Your definition of perfect is rather strange.
Quality over quantity. Just make a game with whatever suits it and the average person (at least in this community) I'm sure will be thrilled to play it.

Actually, Smilies are there to scare the moderators!

He kinda reminds me of the young Samurai Jack but...y'know...with outlines. I think it needs one more In-between frame.

Nice use of shape tweening on the second one (at least I assume that's what you used). I can never get that stuff to work for me.

Do somthing with Grave-robbing in it. Grave robbing is fun.

Not much to do with the actual characters here...

...or humour...

...or sanity...
