If anyone has screen caps or links to anything other than a SA archive of the GBS thread on "Emails from grandma" or something similar,I would be grateful. What I'm specifically after is the sweet, nutty, gooey, chocolatey "A marine was sitting in a lecture.." center and the following hilarity.

A while back in the Archer thread, someone posted a version of the Mulatto Butts ringtone that was cut down to the parts used in the show. I've found a number of hits for it, including the post here, but all the links go to sites that are either hosting the original, unedited file or expired downloads from rapidshare and such. Anyone still have that file? I lost mine in a hardware crash.

There was a flash game I can remember from a few years ago which was a grid of mini-games and it would zoom out of one and into a new one of them at random every few seconds and you had to try stay alive in as many of them as possible for as long as possible. It was pretty fast paced and brightly coloured as far as I remember too. The only thing my googling has found is a game called Multitask, which is pretty fun - but not the right game. Anybody know what I may be thinking of here?

Im looking for an old thread here on something awful, It was about a goon who's old grade school teacher made the class do a time capsule. In it was a letter from his mother, who later died in his childhood. He opens the time capsule as an adult and winds up reading the very touching letter in front of the family who would later wind up a crying mess. The whole thing was very beautiful.

So I found something rather amazing while looking for ascii art: http://www.geocities.com/spunk1111/computer.htm#card A real working Geocities site. Maybe there are no flaming skull gifs and maybe the text isn't green on black, but it is a reminder of a simpler time; a time before Facebook and Tumblr.

I'm trying my best to give an accurate date, but somewhere around 1996 or 1997 there was a website whose name was "The Ant Army" (or something similar) and the "Ant" part stood for "Antagonist." The website had a bunch of biographies drawn up like 90's comic book characters, and each one had a rank in the aforementioned Ant Army. At some point, these bios unlocked and everybody raced to "claim" one, almost like an avatar. I vaguely remembering claiming one, but I cannot figure out what the hell the website was about or what happened to it.

Its from a french documentary on otakus, its on netflix called "Otaku: fils de l'empire virtuel". Theres an english subtitled version of it as well and I think that's the one the screencap is from. It's really boring but a cool insight to see how rabid fans of stuff functioned normally without widespread internet.

I remember this hosed up multi part comic series of this guy who loses his cat, and we find out it was taken by these crazy fly people. They eventually steal him and take him back to this big colony in the sky, where the victims of the flies are killed and then reborn in this pool every night, but every day when they come back to life they slowly get more deformed and hideous. The guy eventually escapes and it ends with him eating somebody else's cat at the end. It was really dark and hosed up and poorly drawn. The same person drew a bunch of other webcomics but this 4 (i think) part one is the only one I really remember.

Hell knows why this popped into my head, but here we go: In the late 90s/early 00s I remember a game series I downloaded which involved your visiting every planet, one game per planet. You had to stop an alien invasion, I think. They were side scrolling platformers and I specifically remember the Neptune one. You had a gas mask because of the methane and unless I'm remembering wrong, there were space cows whose farts caused the methane. Anyone remember what the hell I'm talking about?

Somewhere there is a forum for people who like to pose wrestle dolls and take pictures of them, and there was a guy who made ridiculous threads, some featuring the disembodied head of a wrestler as a commentator. I'm pretty sure I first found out about them here on SA and I'd like to read them again!

This a hell of a long shot, but I swear there was a voice add-on pack for the PC game Atomic Bomberman that was very heavy on the vulgarity (an equivalent to Redneck Rampage's Cuss Pack), and may have featured celebrity voices (possibly Billy Bon Thornton). I'm fairly sure this was somewhat official on Interplay's part (at least as much as something with the F-word in it could be) but I could well have been misled or confused. I cannot find this for the life of me.

I am looking for a series of 3 articles on Apple, Microsoft, and Linux. It detailed the history and what they did right and wrong in their business models, OS design, and what they borrowed from each other. I think it was on Wired or I may have seen it on slashdot or Ars Technica, or maybe some other tech blog. They were published about 3-4 years ago.

Back in 2006 somebody posted a huge collection of SA-related images they had saved over the years in a thread in GBS. I just found that collection lurking on a dusty old hard drive and this thread seemed like an appropriate place to share it... many of these images were ancient forums history even in 2006. Most of them are less amusing than I remember them being, but some of them are still pretty good. Plenty of tasteless photoshops, pictures of people making funny faces, mocking of the less-fortunate, cat photos, owl photos, animated GIFs, image macros, ancient SA memes, and what have you. So here's the whole ~1600 image collection: sa_images.zip (rapidshare, sorry) A small sample:        Linked for tables        Edit: hopefully this hasn't been posted already, I just noticed this thread goes all the way back to 2008 so it's almost as old as the collection! seiken fucked around with this message at 16:39 on May 1, 2012 |

Lately I've been remembering this browser based RPG I played at the library as a kid. It was pretty much all text based with maybe a picture of what you were fighting. The boss was a lich or a necromancer for sure. Anyway, it used popup windows to ask whether you wanted to attack or not, so you could just hold down the enter key to grind on whatever monster it threw at you. I'd watch as my health got near 1, then let go of the enter key, and go to town to rest up and sell stuff. Instead of reading books. At the library.

Okay. It's a story of a guy who worked at a steel mill, or nuclear power plant, or someplace they had an incinerator. He disappeared under mysterious circumstances, but later there were some bone fragments or a wedding ring in the molten steel (or whatever it was). He had discovered some kind of problem in the work place, or something like that, so there was some suspicion it may have been a coverup, but also it could have been a suicide? The gist is that the guy just disappeared, but was probably incinerated.

I remember reading about it originally in a thread on SA and then seeing it in a linked video.
