catching up with the thread reminded me of something that happened in the minecraft thread ages back, fairies from a game mod were being discussed and some dude just casually dropped that he wrote fairy-themed torture porn on the side and then got incredibly confused when everyone reacted by finding it completely repulsive

also does anyone happen to remember what DrGamez actually did to get permabanned? i remember his perma reason was something along the lines of "blackened horrible flaming wreck of eternal misery and loathing" and he tried to come back a few times
did he get helldumped or was it something he did on the forums
Oh I remember fairy guy. It was so notable because of the sheer casualness he mentioned it with and then I think he dropped a link to one of his stories when he was challenged over it.

Thanks to NOW, I now have a glass-block chamber full of about twenty fairies. Since I literally wrote the book on how to torment fairies, I've been performing various experiments on them. But, alas, I have more of them than experiments given Minecraft's limited toolset in that area, so I'm open to suggestions on what to do with the survivors, ahem, remainder.

I can say that they despawn when out-of-sight unless given a headband of flowers, stay spawned if headbanded as long as you stay within the 81-block mob management radius of Minrcraft, and make a lot of very annoying noises when in close proximity. Also, setting the queen on fire and letting her die that way makes it far easier to capture her flock of groupies.

Finally, I found that replacing fairies' pain and death sounds with actual scream sounds makes for a far creepier experience when, say, setting them on fire with a flint and steel. (If anyone wants those I might bundle 'em for download.)


I've head tell that some consider me heartless. Not sure where they get that idea...

They hit it off friendly like and I think he said he was invited to a pool party? He stopped posting soon after, descended to San Diego porn heavens no doubt.

Do you guys not remember what happened? Someone else misremembered this earlier in the thread so let me try to post a summary of how I remember it going down.

The OP claimed to have finally found the illusive Super Hornio Bros. 1 (Super Hornio Bros. 2 had been found, ripped, and distributed several years before in a different thread) and this guy appeared in the thread boasting about how incredible his VCR ripping skills were and how he was going to put it in his portfolio and poo poo. Like, massive effort posts with pictures of his rig; guy seemed like he knew his poo poo....



The only productive thing to actually come out of this 3 month saga was BoldFrankensteinMir agreeing to make sweet custom avatars for every single person who mocked him, so that's where mine came from.
Thank you, Super Hornio Brothers.

I do not wish to do this on a bicycle, that is still moving to fast. I want to give people who may be passing by an opportunity to meet me and get to know what I'm doing. I have family that will mail me supplies that I may not be able to find along my trip. For example if my shoes disintegrate, I'll inform my family of what town I'll be in next and I can have a pair waiting for me. Getting injured is a high possibility, if there wasn't risks in doing this then everyone would do it. I do have a great first aid kit for minor injuries. If I get splattered by a car I guess that is the chance I take. I want to believe in human kindness again and I hope that if I am seriously injured I'll receive the assistance I need.

God, I had so many good laughs about that.

He started in a park in San Francisco, and didn't even make it out of the park before he collapsed in a shitter and gave up. He'd made so little progress that his aunt sent an Uber to pick him up. He also had this cheap-rear end baby stroller that he was pushing his water and supplies in that gave out on the first or second day, so he just abandoned it in the woods somewhere.

It's funny in the reading, but he had talked about his struggles with mental illness, and many goons pointed out that he was displaying textbook manic behavior, in that he had a grand and ridiculous scheme that could not fail and he wouldn't be swayed by naysayers.

He started his 1200 mile planned trek by eating at Denny's for breakfast then setting off.

Clearly the right first step of a finely honed plan for the success,

He also jumped onto the Automotive Insanity thread where people were doing parody movie car posters, took the idea, and started selling posters done up in that style with just enough details changed to (presumedly) avoid trademark infringement. I suppose well within his right, but I always thought it was kind of tacky of him.

If I remember correctly, the whole point was to get to Orlando, Florida, where he would take over his father's business.

Ultimately, it turned out that the business was a stump grinding service, and consisted essentially of a guy with a stump grinder.
