I looked through this thread and didn't see it, but I'm looking for a series of livejournal posts about a horrible roommate. It was about several people living in one house and the new girl that moved in believed that she was a video game character or something. If anyone could link me to that, it would be much appreciated.
This girl?

Does anybody remember a European (maybe German or Belgian?) Tim Burton-ish commercial for booze (thought it might be Jager but think I might be wrong) that featured an ice monster -- a tall man with a creepy mask -- lurking though a stylized forest in the fog. It was black and white and had the feel of a sinister silent movie - like Lon Cheney's Phantom of the Opera.

This is really pissing me off, I remember it made the rounds within the last 5 years but now I can't find it at all.

The other site I can't find or should I say can't find an archive of was something like <guys name> Chen makes a face. People would email the guy to make a face and he would take a picture of that face and post. It sounds kind of lame but he would get requests for outrageously situational faces and he did a good job creating the graphics and emotion around it.

This one's kind of obscure but somebody on SA posted about a crazy book that his aunt owned.

I'm trying to find a game I downloaded from download.com back in 1999-2000. It was freeware, and was a grid based dungeon type game, where you would move from one square to the next encountering random monsters and armor/weapons. It was very basic, the grid was 10x10 or 15x15, and looked like minesweeper, with text below telling you what you encountered. The only specifics I can remember are that the best weapon in the game was the vorpal sword, and it would randomly distribute enemies/items for every new game. This has been driving me nuts for YEARS, it was actually a fun little game.
Some version of Rogue? There are various ones with tilesets as well as the ASCII ones shown in that article.

Ok here's a weird one.

Back when YCS was still in Games (and still existed I suppose), there was a comics thread in it, and I remember seeing this one with a morbidly obese king in it. The King calls for his jester to amuse him, and the Jester does so by shooting himself in the head, causing the king to laugh so hard he pisses himself. Except the King is so fat that it comes out as a cascade from one of his folds of fat.

I can't find it for life of me, anybody have any clue what it was / what it was from?
I have 3 in the series, but I don't know where they're from originally:

edit : and then the next day the neighbor's house burned down, and then the fire marshal showed up with a printout of the thread, but there was no evidence linking his illegal action to the fire that destroyed the house

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)
Good stuff! Anybody want to put these up on alluvion.org? I will if they ever finish downloading....
