hex11 Posted June 6, 2011 Post links to your favorite stories, preferably something entertaining. Erotica is okay if it's funny, but most aren't. Story format should be plain TXT (ASCII or UTF-8) or HTML. No flash, javascript, PDF, or other weird formats. There can be images (illustrated story), but avoid posting straight-out comic strips. I'll start with a couple links: REMFS - a rock n roll band in a world of hurt. The chicken show - the greatest dot-com loser story ever told. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jodwin Posted June 6, 2011 http://catb.org/jargon/html/magic-story.html It's old, but sums up pretty well how I feel about hardware. It works...only if it wants to. And it crashes whenever it wants to. That's why I prefer working with software; at least I'll know that if something fucks up it's (usually) my own fault. 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted June 6, 2011 Well, I don't know if these count... The sweatslob (part 1) The sweatslob (part 2) And of course there are all those cool Jodwin pump-up scripts. They are awesome. I know because I wrote them -for the most part-. Here's a little story I wrote, dedicated to online "competitive" gaming. Jodwin's dream. Don't read if you tend to take your online "competitive" gaming a bit too seriously. And of course, the old Way Of Maes classic, The Snake, written by Jodwin. 0 Share this post Link to post
Daiyu_Xiaoxiang Posted June 7, 2011 This is a famous chinese story, the story also leds to a forming of a chinese idiom, 90% of the chinese may know about it. I can say this is one of my favourite story, it was quite funny. The story is mainly talking about a old idiot trying to remove a mountain using noobish ways because of shit transportations. Since this old idiot is a retard, then same as his families too, they all help him! A english version of this story is located at lower bottom side. http://www.epochtimes.com/b5/3/6/16/c13418.htm 0 Share this post Link to post

I make sure to keep an excuse generator bookmarked for when people call me. The number of lusers users that call me has subsequently dropped. 0 Share this post Link to post

Jimmy Posted June 13, 2011 I exercised my linguistic muscles with the highly entertaining but now sadly defunct ZD-RPG. The weird thing is that if I were to write a novel of my own, it would most definitely be fantasy, although I've read hardly any fantasy myself. :S 0 Share this post Link to post
hex11 Posted June 15, 2011 Some more old stuff that I stumbled upon via a Usenet link, back in the day: The Life and Times of a 41-Year-Old Virgin Looks like that site has some other stories also. 0 Share this post Link to post
hex11 Posted June 19, 2011 Some D&D/roleplaying related stuff: The IUDC (Intercontinental Union of Disgusting Characters), and other tales.. The Tale of Eric and the Dread Gazebo - a true classic! Oh, found this on the same site. Not quite as epic as the gazebo story, but still interesting: A Day in the Life of You 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted June 19, 2011 Stories of LARPing: The First of Three Epic LARP Stories The Second, Where Things Get Serious The Third Another, Completely Unrelated Tale These aren't funny and are quite possibly made up (especially that second one), but they are pretty amazing reads. Brace for Epic. 0 Share this post Link to post
