Forum Games / Spoilers 2.0

September 23, 2008, 05:25:33 PM

First, read this fro wikipedia:

A spoiler is a summary or description of a narrative (or part of a narrative) that relates plot elements not revealed early in the narrative itself. Moreover, because enjoyment of a narrative sometimes depends upon the dramatic tension and suspense which undergird it, this early revelation of plot elements can "spoil" the enjoyment that some consumers of the narrative would otherwise have experienced.

In short, a plot element, or fact you don't see coming, or expect, or a fact not made obvious.
I.E. "Rosebud is a sled" (Citizen Caine)
Princess Leia is really Luke's sister. (Return of the Jedi)
V'ger is really Nasa Space probe Voyager VI (Star Trek)
Mohinder Suresh Discovrs a way to give powers to anyone. (Heroes)

Okay, now that's explained, first up:

Daniel Plainview Finds a way to steal the oil from Eli Sundays land. (There will be Blood).

July 12, 2008, 12:23:32 PM

I originally posted this question on the Fanimafia Back-up boards, and decided to bring the question here since the boards are back up.

QuoteSo are you ready for the end of analog T.V come February 17 2009? (Not as if your reminded every two or three minutes while your watching T.V.)
Did you send away for your $40.00 Converter box coupons? Have you got yourself a SDTV or HDTV television? Got digital cable or satellite? How are you going to record stuff now?
Well?

Post the name of a well known dead person, defunct company, discontinued item, or no longer used / dead character, and the next person post what that person / company, et al would be doing now (either funny, or speculative).

Example: If Samuel Morse were alive today he would:

(and the reply might be...)
... be working on an Internet technology that sends data in the form of dots and dashes. ;D

General Convention Discussion / Taming Fan-Boy Funk 2006

May 15, 2006, 12:29:33 AM

Well, it's that time of year again. The weather is getting warmer, the humidity is up, and many people will soon gather into closer quarters at the SJCC for Fanime 2006.
   And altho it has been brought up before, There always seems to be individuals that need to be reminded, or made aware of controlling their "Fan-boy Funk". Here is a list of warning signs to take notice of...

   If you just rode into town, after a ten hour road trip to Fanime with five of your friends in that small car without air conditioning, you may have Fan-boy Funk.

   If its day two of Fanime and you get on the elevator with a group of people, that immediately get off at the first available stop, leaving you behind, you may have Fan-boy Funk.

   If your over night kit consists of a comb, and cologne, you might have Fan-boy Funk.

   "Why do birds suddenly disappear, every time you are near?" It's not a bad omen, you may have Fan-boy Funk.

   When you walk thru the concourse, do people keep checking the bottoms of their shoes? Then you may have Fan-boy Funk.

   If on Sunday your still wearing the same clothes you wore on Thursday, you may have Fan-boy Funk.

   If you pulled an all-nighter in the hentai room, you may have Fan-boy Funk.

   That vendor in the dealers room you just bought that DVD from with tears in his eyes. Were those tears of joy over a cash purchase, or is it Fan-boy Funk?

   If you are in a video room, watching the second story in Katsuhiro Otomo's "Memories", do people turn around and point at you? Then you may have Fan-boy Funk.

   If you haven't bathed since Wednesday, you may have Fan-boy Funk.

   If people start saying to you "You stink!", GET A CLUE!!! YOU'VE GOT FAN-BOY FUNK!

So remember boys, and girls: "Attend, don't offend."
