sub bosses of facebook reddit 4chan and twitter, final boss is google
Powerups could include, uh⌠porn?
You people are very poor at picking cultural icons. How about some AskJeeves and Pets.com references, people.
Personally, I think it should use Wikipedia, killing word-by-word, and if you fly into a link within the article, youâre warped to that page.
You could do the philosophy thing with that!
I actually have an idea for a tremendous boss fight.
It starts with something eeking in from the top of the screen, a black void which spans the window. It slowly creeps down the field of play, engulfing everything as an impassable barrier and destroying what it touches (in the manner of the Citadel barrier, if you please).
Mars, the Bringer of War plays in the background.
While this insipid wall slowly but invariably fills the page, page elements will occasionally drop a glowing powerup which somewhat increases the size of your ship. Every 4 or so collected powerups will reduce the size of everything, zooming out of the page. At a certain scale, additional webpages (but simple easy-to-render ones) appear as neighbors to the webpage you are almost done consuming.
The process continues. As the outward zoom proceeds, these neighboring pages now have neighboring pages of their own (except they are now only thumbnails from websites, and they are destroyed in quadrants or whole). The void exposes an angulation:

The battle continues. New websites are recruited from all along the border with each progressive zoom, as fast as you can grow and destroy them. The trend continues. More detail is revealed as the size of your ship grows with respect to the invading entity. Relative to that thing, you used to be a mote of dust. Now you are an ant. A mosquito. A moth. Youâve consumed hundreds of websites and your growth is now in contest with the encroaching obstacle. Due to the change in scale, it is now destroying dozens of miniscule website thumbnails along its front every second, faster than your rapid-fire shooter can kill them.

By the time you can recognize what youâve been struggling to survive from, you are big enough to attack it. Your ship gets a weapons upgrade and the time to save the day is now.

This morning, I not only had a dream in which I watched The Hobbit part 1, but have a song from it stuck in my head.
Clearly I must be prescient.
I read that as âpresidentâ. Woo, congratulations!
I dreamt that I was gonna wake up at 10AM but I woke up at 2:59PM, clearly I must be retarded.

Eh. EA isnât that bad.
What is wrong with EA?
Google that up, youâll see.
Fucking EVERYTHING. I mean, theyâre remaking âNeed for Speed: Most Wantedâ by forcing Criterion to work on it, and it was a launch title for the same console theyâre remaking it for. Talk about a fucking cash grab!
Donât even get me started on how Dead Space got actionized and how Mirrorâs Edge got shafted. I could seriously nerd rage about EA for hours.
I have no plans to. I have heard many stories about how evil EA is already.
Somehow I have managed to be untainted by EA over the years. I assume it is because there is only one saga that has obsessed me. I am not sure if this concerns me or makes me warm and fuzzy inside.
Catzeyes, didnât you ragequit these forums or something a while back?
-edit-
Guys, if youâre going to rage against EA, could you at least make a thread for it in Technology & Gaming?
