I kinda remember something from a very long time ago, but I don't know how to go about finding it again. It was a series of posts on, I think, blogger.com or one of those free, super-easy blog hosting sites, and it presented itself as (I think) some sort of series of rules expansions for the old TSR Marvel Super-Heroes RPG, but every post very quickly went off the rails and the author went from talking about Galactus to trying to apply MSH RPG rules to every aspect of what seemed to be a very strange and troubled life.

xiw posted:This was HYBRID RPG Thanks for remembering / finding this. I never really thought it was funny (although certain chunks of it are, unintentionally, like a discussion of Xena and Hercules somehow digressing into a discussion of... Louisiana sodomy laws) as much as it was really interesting. Like, this fellow has consumed and committed to memory (with varying degrees of accuracy) just an astonishing amount of popular culture and RPG rulebooks and flows between dozens of examples that have no apparent relationship to each other in order to more fully explain a "rule" he introduced but did not completely clarify. And then there will be a brownie recipe. That's all re: the first link, which is what I remember reading. That second link, which is still being updated, doesn't feel at all like that, and were it not for the name and the fixed-width font, I wouldn't have any reason to believe it's the same person.

Thermos posted:I remember on the early internet there was a site where this guy would post amusing but mostly benign little pranks. One time he found a pedestal for a statue and made his own fake one, which stayed there for years. I don't remember much else about it, but it was very The first thing I thought of when you mentioned early internet and benign pranks is a site called cockeyed.com. I don't know if they pulled off the stunt you described, but it sounds like something they would do, and a trip to web.archive.org might solve the mystery.

Free Market Mambo posted:I think that guy was called Nemper, super creepy. I'm pretty inured to online weirdness, but that guy's "art" is some of the most legit unsettling poo poo I have ever seen, and I'm sure the FBI has one agent for whom this creep is their entire job.
