Character GPS Quotes

Sat, 01 Nov 2025 09:29:27 -0700

Inspired by the comment in this post about what Sonic might say as a voice companion for the Waze GPS app. I wondered what other characters could potentially say if they were voicing a GPS system and thought it could make for a fun thread.

Elden Ring Narrator Wrote:
A left, ye tarnished!

This one is more inspired by the tutorial in Tomb Raider 1 where Lara directly speaks to you on how to move her about, but instead for if she was guiding you on how to handle the car.

Lara Croft Wrote:
To accelerate, press down gently on the acceleration pedal until you get to speed.

In one mile, make a right by turning the steering wheel in the same direction.

Press and hold the brake pedal to stop at the light.

Would You Ever?

Wed, 09 Apr 2025 16:37:36 -0700

Figured this might be a neat alternative to "Have You Ever?" where it's very unlikely people would ask crazy stuff in that thread like "Have you ever gone skydiving?" nor would someone probably answer anything but no, so this can be the perfect place to ask all those really crazy things one could do and see if someone else would do it or not.

Would you ever go in a shark cage?

Puzzmo (Mini Games)

Tue, 25 Jun 2024 16:21:43 -0700

Imagine if your newsprints featured fun, interactable puzzles that were more than just the daily crossword.

Puzzmo is a fresh spin on a cultural mainstay: the newspaper games page!

Their daily games are designed for all players: they’re easy to get into, yet challenging to excel at. Puzzmo is built for you to play alone, collaboratively with your friends or loved ones… or competitively against your frenemies.

Puzzmo features a variety of games:
SpellTower, a word game of opportunity creation
Really Bad Chess, a sacrilegious take on chess that forgoes the traditional starting pieces
Flipart, a visual puzzle inspired by organizing a sock-drawer
Cross|word, an approachable crossword designed to appeal to first time solvers and lifelong aficionados alike.

...and more!

They've recently added "Pile-Up Poker" which is a neat little poker-style game where you try and make poker hands in a 4x4 grid, where columns, rows and the four corners all make hands!

Post your scores if you wish per game! I'd like to see how we all fare up against each other on the dailies

Games Cause Violence; What Are You Getting Arrested For?

Wed, 03 Apr 2024 10:11:08 -0700

Inspired by this meme I've seen making the rounds the last few weeks:

It doesn't have to be based solely on your last game played, just so nobody has to feel limited if they get an idea for something they can be arrested for doing in another game.

The Binding of Isaac
Killing my own mother with repeated knife stabs to the ankle/foot. (Just did a daily run where the goal was to beat Mom's Foot and my build had Mom's Knife equipped.)

No Context

Mon, 05 Feb 2024 16:47:52 -0800

Back when the WWE Royal Rumble event had just happened I decided to look through the previous episodes of WWE Raw for whatever reason compelled me at the time, and while doing so I came across quite a lot of thumbnails for episodes that I found incredibly amusing without any context given of what is happening at that particular moment in the respective episode. It's been on my mind a few times since then and I wanted to share them, so I figured why not just make a thread purely for sharing things with no context?

Bad Advice for First Time Players

Fri, 12 Jan 2024 16:08:52 -0800

A poor innocent little n00b has picked up a game and knows nothing about the gameplay. Why not "help" them out by giving them some bad advice?

Super Mario Bros.
If you're playing as regular sized Mario, you'll automatically kick Goombas if you're holding down the run button instead of having to jump on them.

Take the Main Title of One Game and the Subtitle of an Unrelated Game

Sat, 22 Jul 2023 13:23:16 -0700

For example:

Crash Bandicoot 4: Modern Warfare
Mario Party: Vegas

Main titles do not need to have originally had a subtitle that you're swapping out for a different one btw. If a game doesn't have a subtitle then you'd just be giving it one from somewhere else.

AITA?

Sun, 16 Jul 2023 15:53:20 -0700

AITA = Am I The Asshole?

Normally this is reserved for someone asking if they're an asshole for something they did in reality, but I saw a couple of takes on this from the perspective of characters in Tears of the Kingdom just now and thought it would be funny to do this with other fictional characters. Examples provided of what I saw for anyone not really familiar with this format:

Uncharted 3 | AITA for not remaining seated during my flight?
So back in like 2011/2012 I (35M) was "scheduled" to take a flight to an undisclosable location in the Rub' al Khali desert on let's just call it an archeological hunt. I was late for my flight however and had to board last minute by jumping onto the wheels during takeoff. I know it sounds weird but Yemen isn't all that great when it comes to travel regulations; just earlier on that same day I'd gone on a cruise ship just off the coast that managed to capsize because the captain shot a hole through a submerged window.

Anyway, I couldn't get to my actual seat for the flight so I just decided to just stay in place in one of the luggage compartments beneath the floor instead. It was cramped but I figured I could deal with it until I get to the other end of the flight. At some point, a flight attendant somehow spotted me down there and pulled me out, and despite trying to explain myself I think he was having a bad day because he didn't really wanna listen and just decided to get violent with me because no one else was in the cabin at the time this was happening. The fight got a bit out of hand and a gunfight broke out (again, Yemen has shit travel regulations and just lets people on planes with guns?!), and eventually it caused the whole plane to go down and crash land in the middle of the desert. I was the only survivor but I think everyone else on the plane died pretty quickly?

I've never really told many people about this incident before so I'm just wondering AITA? If I had stayed in my seat this wouldn't have happened but I'm not the one who chose to leave it in the first place.

What Does X Make You Think Of?

Sat, 31 Dec 2022 11:48:13 -0800

This was inspired by something I saw over on @Kyng's board TCH, which he in turn had seen on another board prior to putting it on his, so maybe one day someone will take this idea from here to pastures new and keep the chain going.

Anyway, the concept is simple. You just have to say what the word in the most recent post makes you think of, and then provide a word yourself for the next person. For example:

Word Provided: Creed
What "Creed" Makes Me Think Of: Assassin's Creed
Word I Provide for Next Person: Orange

Here's the first word:

York

Play or Nay?

Fri, 23 Sep 2022 07:57:15 -0700

I had this idea a while ago but kept forgetting it whenever I came online. It's similar to Keep/Gift/Trash? and This or That? but focused instead on whether or not you would play the above game or not. If you have played it before then it's still valid to respond with "play".

I'll kick things off with this:

Rayman Origins

Rate The Digimon Above

Sat, 20 Aug 2022 07:16:26 -0700

Apparently Twitter likes to talk about Digimon at this time of the morning because my feed suddenly got filled with it, and since we have a Rate The Pokémon Above game (as well as some others) I figured why not give some love to the series that is most often compared to Pokémon, especially since there's probably just as many fans of Digimon here as there are Pokémon fans. Plus, Digimon has characters you can simp over.

If you want an easy way to find a Digimon without going by name alone, this seems to be the best place. I couldn't find anything that randomly picks one for you like the Pokémon website has.

I'll kick off with Bakemon:

Rate The Above Game Character Appearance

Sat, 30 Jul 2022 15:38:58 -0700

Rate the game character design/appearance in the post above yours, and then share a new game character design/appearance for the next person to rate!

Replace a Word

Tue, 24 May 2022 12:48:56 -0700

Earlier this month I saw a tweet that asked people to replace a word in a video game title with one that was provided, which in this case was the word moist:

I personally found it rather fun to come up with responses to this as you can see, and I wanted to try and incorporate it into a forum game.

The idea is that you provide a word for the next person who posts, and then they use that word to replace any word they wish in whatever they want to work with, whether it be a title, quote, or anything else involving words. Rinse and repeat for all time.

Example:

Poster A Wrote:
Sausage

Poster B Wrote:
Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Sausage

Sweaty

Poster C Wrote:
"Do not be sorry; be sweaty." - Kratos, God of War PS4

Crack

Now, here's the word for whoever first chooses to respond to this thread!
