What might a Captain Underpants video game be like? Previous

>>253054516
Dreamworks has the rights to make a movie.
It's coming out in a few years.

>>253054516
While I like a good ole nostalgia thread, I think having them too quickly would make it stale.

Lumpy Girdle Sniffer reporting

Rocksteady produced, you perform stylish underwear-slinging combos on sentient toilets trying to soil all that is preshrunk and cottony!

Simpsons Arcade-style beat em up with CU, George, and Harold.

I'm sure there's been, like, a GBA game or something right?

>>253054837
There's actually some Scholastic games on their website, apparently.

>>253054497
Are you serious?
That is literally the worst kind of ending
I just hope it wasn't because of a stupid reason like "I made the villain too overpowered, the only way for him to be defeated now is if he kills himself"

>>253054516
By all principals amazing.

I was thinking of a Redwall book where a trio is escaping over a rope bridge over a canyon (or in a canyon) and then the two old warriors say they'll stop and hold them off and they wind up getting the shit stabbed out of them after they kill a bunch of Vermin.

Can't remember the book

Anyone remember these big books that were kind of like I Spy, except with amazing, massive artwork? I remember there being set on an alien planet or something? There were tonnes of hidden objects you could find.
Only other thing I remember about them was that they were published by Oscar.

And they say the survival horror genre is dead.

Maybe people in this thread need reminding though?

How the fuck did a children's game hits the head on the nail for the horror genre better than any AAA game out there?
Those sound effects
That crushing, ice-cold, pitch black maze
Those terrifying prompts advanced with a blood curdling un-earthly growl
That fucking jumpscare at the end
It's like they actually know what scares people.
Also yeah, fuck the sound effects. I forgot about them and they fucking scared me shitless when I got my first prompt.
And I forgot how terrifying the slug looks in full detail. I jumped out of my seat while getting screen shots for this image. I don't know how my younger self even pulled himself through to finish the game.

I want Zaregoto by Nisio Isin but it's either $80 for the first book or nothing

You niggers remember the ketchup packets with toilets prank?

Alright, while we're on the second thread on the subject (love ya night /v/), let's see if anyone knows what this book is. I remember a bunch of stuff about it, except the title:

> The premise of the book is a like 12-year-old kid become president of the USA.
> May have been the sequel to a book about the campaign, but I never read it, so I have no idea how the like constitutional age limit was circumvented. I think his campaign platform was a ban on homework.
> A Secret Service agent is an important character. He takes a bullet for the protagonist at one point.
> There's like a stereotypical Arab dictator who acts as a main villain, pretty sure he was meant to be a caricature of Saddam Hussein/maybe a little Khomeini too.
> They have a diplomatic meeting where the dictator challanges the kid to a video game to settle their dispute
> It was a fictional game that was described in surprising detail, sort of like a 3D competitive Missile Command. Also it was for the N64.
> At the end the kid realizes that he's not even close to ready to run the most important country on Earth, so he resigns, and his VP, who is also his nanny, becomes the first black, physically disabled, woman president. (Except not the physically disabled part because fdr had polio put I just realized that now)

I feel like rereading this would be an interesting look at our pre-9/11 political climate, among other things. Also the vidya part was cool.

I'm planning to borrow a copy of The Dispossessed at the library soon. Every sentence she writes is quotable as poetry; I just love it so much, especially the breathtaking writing in The Wizard of Earthsea.
>“It is no secret. All power is one in source and end, I think. Years and distances, stars and candles, water and wind and wizardry, the craft in a man's hand and the wisdom in a tree's root: they all arise together. My name, and yours, and the true name of the sun, or a spring of water, or an unborn child, all are syllables of the great word that is very slowly spoken by the shining of the stars. There is no other power. No other name.”

>>253059273
This was the book to read back in elementary school.

I liked the Ender's Shadow series. I read Enders adventures after the war but it was lowkey kinda confusing. I managed to finish Speaker for the Dead but once I hit Xenocide I just tapped out.

I'm in the middle of writing a book myself.

Do you guys have any advice as far as good writing? I want it to be as good as it can possibly be.

Apparently my house is fucking full of old edutainment games from The Learning Company.

>>253059273
This was my shit when I was a kid. Recently reread it though and it kind of weirded me out though I couldn't really tell why. This essay did a really good job of articulating it though:
http://www4.ncsu.edu/~tenshi/Killer_000.htm
when I first learned about Card's political views I was surprised because I thought the themes of the rest of the "quartet" contradicted them directly, but as an older and more critical reader I now realize that the ethical worldview expressed in the first book at least is categorically Fucked Up.

>>253059979
Depends, what kind of book anon?

>>253056617
I've always wanted to read the sequel but never did because I forgot about it. I think I still have it in my house somewhere.

Ask >>>/lit/ in a writefag thread, and take everything they say with a grain of salt. I won a local writing contest with their advice. Easiest $100 I ever made.

>>253059548
Pretty much yeah, although that's a bit of a simplification. I think also that during the 90s American culture became adept at pretending certain societal problems didn't exist. See also: Columbine, reactions to, surprise at, and this video:

>>sophomore year our school ramps up security on the outside of the school to discourage vandalism
Speaking of which, what was that one BS rule your school got rid of the year after you left?

>>253060074
It's a science fiction novel with three different main characters. The conflict is between an alien race that used to live peacefully among humans as well as two different factions of humans that have different ideas for approaching the problem.

>>253060170
I was afraid to ask /lit/ but I'll give it a shot in a little bit.

>>253060124
>>last day of school someone throws a box full of condiments into the street
>>giant fucking explosion of ketchup and mayonnaise everywhere
This had me laughing way too hard.

>>253059979
If you're planning on writing a novel or short story, take some time on the side to read some advice from one of the proficient sci-fi writers of our time:
Dan Simmons
http://www.dansimmons.com/writing_welll/archive/writing_index.htm
Orson Scott Card
http://www.hatrack.com/writingclass/

They bring in great insights to the process of writing, what kinds of books to read to prepare yourself to the endless journey of learning and suffering, and how to start writing in the first place.

Nah. I'm rereading Dan Simmon's articles on writing, and currently reading a section about a now defunct scholarship on writing from his college that died from a feminist's intervention that led to the college giving out 2500 dollars to a schizophrenic Hispanic Chicagoan who hasn't written anything before.
That said, I kinda miss reading the Captain Underpants series. The copies I had were destroyed in a basement flood that hit two years ago, and I'm too embarrassed to buy copies or borrow them from the public library.

it's a toss up between having only one piercing per ear and bringing your own laptop into the school library.

i was going to get my ear pierced a few more times and just stick more sleepers in it because i tried to be edgy at times. instead i just mellowed out and became everyone's friend.

the laptop in the library issue came up during my final senior year. i borrowed the laptop of a guy in my programming class to try and finish off our first term assignment. cranky librarian went full retard and accused me of hacking school computers. the laptop was confiscated by her until the school's acting principle had a stern talking to me about shit she didn't understand. my programming teacher ended up sorting everything out and i had full access to the computer labs whenever i wanted it after that. full school assembly was then called the following week where they announced the banning of laptops in the library and talks about hacking and cyber security popped up here and there for about a month. it was so shit.

>The last Captain Underpants book I read was the 8th back in 2006
>There's been 2 books since with another coming this year

I'm not even sure what to feel.

It wasn't the year after I left, but the first day of my senior year, they announced that they were doing away with the Senior Early Dismissal Bell. Shit pissed me off something fierce. They brought it back the next year because of the fuss my class made. Whole lot of fucking good that did me.

I don't know that the problem is more people on the internet. We individually have a pretty limited view of the cultural 'net and at least in this thread I doubt there's anyone here who witnessed for example the BBSs of the 90s.

I think a major problems that made the net worse basically boil down to two things: a) competition for validation (upvotes, likes, etc.) and b) "toxicity" (like wow holy shit the word "netiquette" used to actually exist wtf)

I'm sure there are communities somewhere that are great, but they aren't here.

By the way, the kid was into all this witchcraft shit (his former stepdad was a wiccan or something) and he said that since he told me all that and I wouldn't whip out my dick, he would cast a spell on himself that would put him in a coma or some shit. Half of me thought that stuff was a crock of shit, but the other half of me was a superstitious little kid, so my nerves were fucking wracked on my last day of 5th grade. Couldn't even enjoy my last day of elementary school because I was too busy scared that my best friend at the time (even though I was shocked, angered, and scared that he'd fucking molested me, we still talked on and off for like a year) was basically going to kill himself.

>>253067560

Book 4: Tehanu:
Instead of it being a rousing magical adventure story, it was the tale of how every man in Earthsea suddenly became a huge dick 24/7 and mercilessly harassed Tenar and Tehanu. Ged is not exempt: he loses his powers and becomes a fucking baby. Basically, it was extremely preachy, whereas the other ones were not at all so.

>>253055579
More like a blast from your ass.

>>253073654
Hue

>>253072996
And also it came after book 3, which I personally think is the best one of the series.

Book 5: The Other Wind
I don't remember much about this one. My problem with it was similar to Tehanu, where it features Tenar feeling and talking instead of doing, except now you have a mage with feelings of inadequacy who does the exact same thing. Maybe my memory is getting fucked, but I think Tenar was more of a protagonist in the 2nd book, where she didn't go "woe is me" and actually beat the lovecraftian horror she had been serving for her entire life.

There you have it. Books 4-5 are the Dark Dawn to book 3's TLA. Apt considering that book 3 was written in 1972 and 4-5 in 1990/2001
