Ohhh lets start a record of how much we can mod up a sinlge post, starting with this one!

How depessing, this was my first modded down post :(

I think people should realise that the 'mod me up' posts got old ages ago. A joke is fine the first time, but after the 10th?

Well it IS in the bad idea topic so...

Good point.

Now for my first bad idea, lets create the biggest quote arch we can!

Yikes. Dizzying. I don't want to stretch the page width too much...

How about we get rid of Restore and Continue Playing Game in DROD?

I know. I always thought that DROD was about punishing the player as much as possible. Things like clocks, checkpoints, restore rooms and H&S should never have been allowed. What were they thinking!

It should really crash your entire operating system, I mean, there isn't any fun without a little bit of peril.

Peril, you say?

Maybe finishing any hold you download within 5 hours... or the computer explodes!

That really is a bad idea.

But a worse idea: Downloading a Tokyo Kid hold with the 5 hour explosion rule in place!

Hey guys, I was going through the Caravel Games dumpster the other day, and found some copy for a rejected game. Tell me what you think...

---

In the world of the Eighth, dungeon roaches stick to their dungeons, greedily infesting any subterranean cavity you could hope to find. Fortunately, the Smitemasters Guild has always kept them under control...

until the latent radioactivity of the Eighth's soil mysteriously skyrockets....

Now, mutant dungeon roaches have tripled in size, grown functional wings, and generate acid in their mouths which they spit at anything... or anyone... foolish enough to get in their way...

When the behemoth roaches begin terrorizing the world, only one man can save The Eighth -- as he has done so often before. But this time, he's got a fighter jet...

In 2007, Beethro Budkin takes to the air in the first fully 3D fantasy puzzle/adventure/flight simulator from Caravel Games! When you see Beethro dogfight with a 20-foot roach queen, your world will be changed forever...

Welcome to the Deadly Skies of Death.

---


Well? Hey, I'd play it... ;)

Cool:

DROD is a bar of soap that self-replicates and counts your loose change.

Nice:

Briareos is a microwave! It is biodegradable!

Cheese is a beermat that's twenty feet tall and can easily be recycled.

>.>
God is a sock that's covered with realistic fur! It improves blood clotting.
Is that so?
Deadly Rooms of Death is a housebrick that keeps drinks hot, is audible only to dogs and plays MP3s.
That last part makes it kind of... redundent

CaravelNet is a cigarette lighter that automatically updates your weblog when used, can be used by children and emits harmful gases.
So that's what CaravelNet really is!

Beethro is a feather duster that vibrates! It removes stubborn stains and recharges itself at night.
At least it works!

Halph is a freezer that produces 240v of electricity, can be controlled by willpower alone and has a built-in motion sensor.
That sounds... pretty cool!

Drgamer is a walking stick that can pick locks!
I am? Well then... *picks locks*

Kevan Davis is a wristwatch that sends and receives text messages! It is covered with realistic fur.
(This was the guy that apparently wrote the page)

The Slayer is a bedside table that scans its user's fingerprints!
Ah, that explains alot...

Erik is like a normal postage stamp, but it's guaranteed to save you a hundred pounds a month.
Well that explains how Erik sends people the Smitemaster Selections.

Roaches is a bathtub that can be taken apart and reassembled in thirty seconds!
So thats what we have been fighting

Holds is a suppository that cannot be removed from your house!
Ah, a perfect discription.

Journey To the Rooted Hold is a contact lens that produces hot tea or coffee, will not work outside of the UK and emits a powerful searchlight beam.
O RLY?!

Raygun is an electric drill that's heavier than it looks, can be programmed to perform simple tasks and cannot be removed from your house.
I see why this will never be implimented

NiroZ is a CD player that fires plastic darts! It plays Nethack.
I have always wondered who I was!

I'm afraid it's bad news. You are suffering from
Drgamer's Disease.

Cause: computer virus

Symptoms: sparks, gills, aversion to bright light

Cure: attempt to repeat cause
Okay...
I'm afraid it's bad news. You are suffering from
Drodosis.

Cause: spread by rats

Symptoms: excessive sore throat, gurgling, hair growth, excessive absenteeism

Cure: pass it on to someone else within seven days
Not spread by roaches?
Congratulations! You are suffering from
Disease's Disorder.

Cause: allergy to bees

Symptoms: walking like an Egyptian, vague aphasia, excessive tiredness

Cure: infect someone else
Not Disease Disease?

Beethrow can drink a superman potion so he moves twice as fast as the monsters, but he will die in 30 turns if he does not consume a food potion. And he has to consume a food potion once every 30 turns till he exits the room.
[Edit]:My fly potion idea should have gone here also, thought about it and it sucks.

Oh, here's a bad one:

EA buying Caravel Games and releasing TCB as DROD 2007, followed by yearly re-releases of basically the same game with practically nothing new... :lol

(And if you want an even worse idea - slap some sport star name in front of "DROD"... :devil)

And then release it as a console game! Imagine a 1080p version of DROD! And theres more! And why not start all your sentences with And and end with a exclimation mark!.

Drod is a bar of soap that self-replicates and counts your loose change.
Erik is like a normal postage stamp, but it's guaranteed to save you a hundred pounds a month.
The bar is a WAP device that sounds better than it looks, is transparent and counts your loose change.
Caravelgames is a cigarette lighter that never needs repairing! It plays a mean game of Go.
TCB is a newly-discovered breed of fish that dispenses tea or coffee! It holds up to twenty cigarettes and sweeps away dust.

Summed up : This forum is about a bar of soap, which was made by a cigarette lighter. The cigarette lighter was created by a postage stamp. Every day I watch a WAP device to see if the cigarette lighter released a new breed of fish. ;)
