Win a cameo in Time Gentlemen, Please...!

[dan]

SOMEONE PLEASE ENTER.

[dan]

FAO Ben: you cannot enter.

EDIT: although we should totally give you a cameo, too.

[Ben]

Pimped on Idle Thumbs forums.

PS  - You put an apostrophe in the wrong place...

I'd be a naked woman that Ben sexes a bit.

[Ben]

We've got four of those in it already.

[seregrail7]

Yeah but this one is different. It's the fifth one.

I would like to be a guy who stumbles into one of your screens at random holding a map. My ‘wife’ can be on my arm and she can be.... oooo..... I don’t know, a jar of badgers or something. And I’m all pomp and cravat.

I’m muttering something like “Well anyway darling, I’m just glad we’re out of that last place. Entertainment for the masses indeed. I’m pretty sure the taxicab was using MODE 7 to turn the corners. MODE 7 Darling!”

Basically I’m a computer game tourist and my wife is a jar of badgers (apparently), and we got separated from our tour group somewhere between ‘Sim Games’ and ‘MMORPGs’. Instead of following the rules and heading for the meeting place at Neverwinter Nights, I thought I knew how to handle the map and could get us back to our hotel. At Sim Hotel. Anyway, I took a wrong turn and ended up in the 16-Bit Consoles for a bit, before stumbling into your game.

We then proceed to play the middle-class-couple-in-the-wrong-neighbourhood card to a tee – “Oh, no darling! We’re.... oh my. We’re in a.... point and click game.... Keep your purse close. Don’t look at them darling! Oh, no, it’s even worse.... it’s a retro Indie title! Oh God, this is the last time I let you pick our vacation!’

And obviously hilarity prevails.

Feel free to either enjoy my character subtly representing computer game snobbery in an industry that more and more worships style over substance, or just have him make the odd ‘games are different these days’ gag before Ben accidentally kills him.

If you choose you can help them find their way back to the luxurious Sim Hotel, or if you’re feeling malicious you can direct them to ‘Leisure Suit Larry 8.... So Very Tired’. The choice is yours but choose wisely – one offers a ‘thank you’ tourist camera that can be used at just the right time to temporarily blind a guard with the flash to sneak into.... wherever. The other choice offers...

I don’t know, some cheese or something.

How about a cameo of one of the Gibbage men on one of the Gibbage levels. You have to fix the clone machine of the enemy player so he has someone to play with.

Chao fellas

(Woo for first post and competition entry).

I'd be the chick with a serious Freudian problem with comparing everything to penis', inappropriately talking about penis' without actually realizing that she is doing it and without using the word 'penis'.

This is absolutely no reflection on my real life self..... o_O

 

[PillBox]

I'd just be me.

I could be the guy who is still in Beta.

One word, Sockpuppetmaster.



Crude Concept art slashed together in MS Paint as directed by the divine beings.

The Sockpuppetmaster was a scientist (cleaner) working at the high tech (rather low tech) research facility of Sockitcorp™ inc. Sockitcorp™  Was a sock company that was bent on dominating the world (global sock production business). They were experimenting with new ways to revolutionize the sock business. They had animated socks  and bonded them in pairs so that if they were seperated they could seek each other out so that you never had to worry about missing a sock again!
But there was an accident, Steve "P.N.X." Johnson fell into the lost sock draw where they threw away the sentient socks that didn't work out. He spent years trapped in that draw and became bonded with the socks. When years later someone dumped out the sock draw they were confronted with the villainous SOCKPUPPETMASTER! MUHAHAHAHAHA

The Sockpuppetmaster then went out for vengeance against the evil Sockitcorp™! Unfortunately they went under a few years beforehand, so he has set out to right wrongs and let the world know his evil wrath!

Steve acts tough, but he's actually a nice guy once you get to know him and get past the whole laughing maniacly thing.

You've missed a trick there. The company really ought to be called "Socket and See".

Ahahaha! See what I did there? I'm here all week, folks!

Larry the Stalk



A middle aged Alcoholic stalk - fired from his job as a baby deliverer due to getting lost on a long flight and in hunger resorted to eating the baby. Makes numerous references to his newfound taste for flesh, how unbelievably thirsty he is and how much he despises babies (often in a manner similar to the reasons people hate birds).

His journey is one of discover and whimsy as his son (who'm he's spending his once a month court ordered time with post divorce) is kidnap (of which Larry doesn't care until a court order is produced demanding if his son goes missing during his watch he is to be castrated). Join him on his deadbeat adventure to rescue a son he doesn't want. Larry himself isn't a bad person just rather amoral. (I typed this whole thing before even realising that some parallels might be drawn to Leisure Suit Larry...none are intended).

Does this mean we should now include character designs??
I don't think I have a copy of ms paint...
