Video Game Urban Legends, Creepy Pasta, Hoaxes, and Other Shit v3 - Don't Make This Fail - General

Oh I wanna get in on this shit

What sounds do scissors make? -snip-

So is anything special going to happen? Something that we should know about in advance? What are our plans for this?

[QUOTE]So there was something I needed to download for my computer so it would run better, it was something called a 64-bit download. My computer is probably running so crappy because I dun have it. Now to the story: I needed to download a 64-bit installation. I found it on some weird site. It didn't look like a normal downloading site, but I downloaded it anyway. But when I attempted to install it, a window came up reading "Running UnknownExistance.exe" I was confused, and realised I had downloaded the wrong thing. Just before I could close it, the installation was complete. An icon appeared on my desktop, called "UnknownExistance.exe" I clicked on it. I really wish I hadn't... The screen started to shake and weird and scary pictures started flashing, one was a bleeding face with no eyes, and it looked like it was burning and screaming. Another was a room full of kids, all of them standing, then a video started. I should've looked away. The kids started yelling at each other, they then began to hit each other, one kid ripped out another kid's eye, and he ate it. The other kids jumped on the eyeless kid and started kicking and punching him, while ripping out his organs and then eating them. My screen started flashing with loud shrieks in the back, the video was back on. The kids were running in circles, on fire with their flesh flying off and burning. The video ended with a little girl saying: Unknown.... Existence.... IS OUR NAME." "Is our name" was said loudly enough to put a crack in one of my windows, my ears are still ringing from it. But, there's one thing I'm concerned about... Why were you in that video?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Tinter;34297904]So is anything special going to happen? Something that we should know about in advance? What are our plans for this?[/QUOTE] Basically, once we've got a basic map we'll decide to play it in HL2 DM. At that point we just need to work out the script and recording devices and such.

[QUOTE=supersnail11;34297799]You guys are great at acting... ...I hope that's acting.[/QUOTE] I'm trying to not be too snippy without going into "snip my level scurbs" territory Kinda doing a snip thing where i'm a snippy snip snip player, I could set up a snippity snippity snoop with a shitty clan on it to get the full experience but i'm undecided atm

I could record a frag movie if it's needed, do we have a server? If we get one, it should probably be passworded.

Dear god I hope this doesn't fall apart

[QUOTE]Not long after the advent of the internet, people the world over began to come together in an unprecedented way. With direct, person to person communication made possible, first-world countries began to forgo political representatives in favor of various flavors of what would come to be known simply as 'direct democracy'. Just as the American revolution fomented liberation over large swaths of the world, technology brought on a whole new magnitude of personal freedom roughly equal to the difference between a monarchy and a republic. The old guard kicked and screamed, and threw all of their money into a collective corporate hissy fit, but this only served to hasten their descent towards irrelevance. First a few notable but comparatively small European countries made the switch. For nearly a decade only Swedes and internet dorks watched in bated breath, wondering if a communications based government could work. The rest started to take notice, however, when quality of life skyrocketed across the board in nearly every governance which switched to complete self rule. The old assumptions about the peasants' inability to rule themselves were swept away. Apparently a few million middle class yobs do indeed have more wisdom than any room full of power brokers, even if they do occasionally vote themselves into a stupid situation. There were false starts of course. The UK famously modeled their online voting apparatus after 'facebook', which nearly led to a civil war when half of the country attempted to completely defund the internet infrastructure of the other half. As time went on and this new quality of life spread even to traditionally unstable countries, at last the world fell in line by choice, and without force. Suddenly all the quiet, normal folks could sing in a chorus much louder than the partisans could jabber and froth. This new enlightenment continued into the second half of this century. Within a single generation the world had eliminated most forms of suffering, and the worlds' former leaders could only shift their eyes towards the floor when presented with how easy it could actually be. Time progressed further, and people started to wonder what new heights humanity could reach-- we're not a sedentary race, you see. With increased funding for science the world was able to make exploration exciting and popular again, yet even with nearly a centuries' computational progress under their belt, terraformation and space travel were still prohibitively expensive and time consuming. So with no quick way to go up, and no good reason to go down, humanity could only attempt to travel deeper within themselves. It started when an open-source tech consortium (previously known as 'Microsoft') figured out how to interface with the human brain in a meaningful way. What neurologists and prosthetic engineers had been overlooking all those years was the way the human brain processes time. We now know that one of the largest factors in both intelligence and creativity lays in how 'fast' a person's brain is. By emulating a human brain neuron for neuron in bits and tailoring prosthetics with a unique AI for that brain, the two could be linked to reroute neural pathways into a virtual conduit, thereby creating the 'neural bit'; i.e. a mind emulated once over experiences time at exactly half it's normal speed, thereby increasing it's thinking power in that window of time by two. Simply put, one nb is equal to roughly twice the processing power of a single, unaltered mind. This resulted in some unfortunate incidents when researchers attempted to sync up two different emulated brains, as one brain's nb is likely to have a different value than another due to differences in the amount of avialable neurons and how they're wired. Having twice the time in your day to do as you wish is nice, but isn't practical when everyone else appears to be functioning in slow motion. Plus their emulated brain was limited, all it did was alter your perception of time. Obviously there were much more exciting uses for neural bitrate systems. When they finally learned to sync minds the next step was to flesh out the capabilities of the emulated brain. At last, mankind could live as it wished, wherever it wished, and there could be no consequences. Reality could now be fabricated in any way a man could see fit within one emulated brain, or an indefinite number of synced brains. As many predicted at the time, these new capabilities didn't work out as one would hope. Instead of the AI overlords seen in the anachronistic 'The Matrix' from the late twentieth century, mankinds' biggest threat came to be extreme apathy. Who wants to vote, or procreate, when you can pretend to be Harry Potter, or Leonardo da 'vinci? Why, people even began altering their minds to believe they were these characters and historical figures, discarding whatever identity they had in favor of fantasy. More and more people took measures to maintain their physical forms seperate from their virtual selves, without ever moving an inch from the room they were born in. Doctors and nurses, teachers and scholars... all of them were made obselete. Life for your average human became an automated tour of their wildest fantasies. The remaining of the famous and elite increasingly experienced bouts of disassociation, as they couldn't be sure if they were truly successful, or some forgotten entity living out a virtual fantasy. On the bright side suicides and murders nearly stopped completely; why take such drastic measues when you can alter who you are on a whim and simply forget what's bothering you? Even the worst criminals could simply be wiped clean of their memories and stripped of their antisocial tendancies. At last, mankind freed itself from violence. But the cost was a plateau in progress. Man stood collectively at the precipace of a true, full blown technological singularity, yet there were so few left cognizent of the real world. From the start there had been anti tech groups who decided tinkering with the brain was going too far. However most of them were staunched by their own sort of shortsightedness, as their anti-tech sentiments were based in fear and faith, rather than cautious reason. None of it made a difference anyway. People ignored drives to 'unplug and take part'. They even ignored social workers who tried to convince them to rejoin humanity, in any capacity, at least part of the time. There are more and more 'lost causes' every day, what with the new generation essentially being born plugged in. There are people out there who wouldn't know real life if they saw it. Things have been going downhill and half of these folks won't notice until the system shuts down and they collectively starve to death in atrophied heaps of flesh and bone. The thing is... none of that compares to the greatest sins commited with nb tech. The apathy, the rapidly declining birth rates, even the return of corporate control... they don't compare. You see, almost as soon as the tech was created someone found a way to use it against others. With each doubling of an emulated brain's bit rate time is slowed by half, and with each new advance in vr tech new capabilities emerge within fabricated worlds. It's not just about changing reality according to your whims; every day people invent entirely new sensations as they wire their brains in new and interesting ways. A man famously simulated throwing himself into a black hole just to see what it felt like. Quickly, perhaps as soon as the tech was ready, someone used nb technology as a torture device. For an estimated 70,000 - 112,000 years in virtual time (which lasted only a few days in real time) a group of 119 people were held hostage in an emulated reality consisting of nothing but a black void and repeating intervals of the worst pain sensations available in vr tech at the time. Complete sensory deprivation... except for the pain... for that long... they were all technically brain-dead upon their eventual release. This emerging form of torture is presumably being used to this day, and with increasing nb rates there are probably people out there being held to the whims of psychopaths for millions of years of virtual time. Add to that the possibility for psychological torture and all the new and varying sorts of pain available and you have the most fearsome tool for oppression ever concieved. We call such torture 'void death', and the new wave of neo-corporatists scrambling to fill the power vacuum left by an apathetic world society are certainly willing and ready to use this new nuclear option wherever they see fit. At last, mankind has discovered a way to harm itself which transcends even death, and I'm increasingly convinced that I'm one of it's victims.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]First off, I think the show is a bit weird as it is: a little Hispanic girl running off with a monkey who wears boots while a fox tries to steal from her? Who thought of this and why is it still popular among children? I will never know. But that's beside the point. Have you ever noticed how the map is trying to get her killed? Couldn't she just go around the crocodile lake? Why are her parents letting her do this stuff? My theory is that she is insane. She killed her parents and ran away to the forest where she has imaginary adventures and hurts animals in the process. Though this sounds very unlikely, it makes sense. Think about it. What exactly does she have in that backpack? Knives? Hacksaws? FLAMETHROWERS? The world may never know, and I doubt Nickelodeon will tell us anytime soon.[/QUOTE] he raises good points

[QUOTE]Hello, my name is Michael Barrington. I hope I succed this... test, let me explain: In the middle of the day I started feeling dizzy, sleepy almost, I couldn't even walk, concentrate, I called in sick and went back home, the moment I steped in home it got worse, like if someone had hit my head with freakin' hammer (just a metaphor), I think that after that I just wondered a bit before falling unconcious...my vision was blurry, I couldn't take it anymore. Then I woke up tied up to this chair, even though there were no biddings tying me up, just something forcing me to stay put, a force I don't know... oh well. I was in this dark room, my head was pounding, my throat was aching, my vision was still blurry, from what I could make out I was alone in the room, I tried to scream but no voice would come out at all, it only made my throat hurt more intensivily, tears were rolling out at this point, I was breathing really heavy, I was sweating. Then I noticed something, I was not alone in the room, there was something else, a man, I couldn't really make anything out but as far as I could see he was in a suit, sitting watching me. He began to speak, his voice was soothing.. conforting. He told me I would be part of a social experiment, to test how long an human being can resist, and that my ability to speak would be returned if I succeded, and that I would be praised imenssively too. I started to have hopes that I could make it out of here. He gave me instructions, I would be thrown in the middle of a barbaric species that would kill of their own kind for the sole purpose of killing, a species that would kill me if they thought I was somewhat of a threat. I started to notice that his voice made the pain go away, I stoped sweating. He said that their sight was based on a specific radiation that I would not be able to use, and that they would comunicate through a frequency that I would also not be able to use. He than said that I would be given a day to choose something in my house to defend myself. After a long moment of silence of we staring at eachother I started to think of running away, he was setting me free I would go to the police I would hide somewhere he would never find me. I couldn't see his face but somewhere in my mind he made me know that he smiled when I said that, he told me that the more people I involved the more cleanup he would have to do. After a brief pause he said with a more, I don't know, a frightening voice: "Michael...I dare you to run, it will be fun chasing you." I'm back at my house, I took my combat knife and my kevlar and my colt from back when I was at the army...I want to survive this...I WILL SURVIVE THIS!! Oh god, I just want to say that... Mary, I love you, I always did, everything I do I'll do for you.. This note was found on Michael Barrington's house who, while both blind and deaf for reasons not yet known, commited a massaquer with a combat knife and a Colt M1911 in a shopping mall.[/QUOTE] this creepy note doesn't have any reasons right
