My greatest addiction

For anyone who doesn't know me, I am addicted to Doom. I fuckin' love this game; until I cleaned it out, I had a 3 gigabyte folder with all my WADs for Skulltag, and that's not counting all the ones that are on my desktop.
To all you squares who don't know what Doom is (Really, guys?), it's an old FPS released in '95 that has you battling demons in Hell. It provided a lot of breakthroughs in shooter games, being that it was the first game with a semblance of height, and walls could actually be angled!
Doom is also absurdly customizable; people have been making all sorts of WADs (custom files for Doom), from an Alice In Wonderland based singleplayer game, that has you growing and shrinking, to a Portal base, to (my current favorite) multiplayer game that has you summoning monsters from different game factions for your army to kill each other.
Everyone and their cat should get the Doom IWADs, and download Skulltag. It wrecks.
Also, remember what I said about Doom being customizable? Wikipedia has an entire article for shit it's been ported to. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versions_and_ports_of_Doom

Post titles? Posh!

Apparently, there is an arcade version of  Silent Hill. I MUST PLAY IT.
I've been slacking off on New Vegas and Minecraft too much lately, also. I'm on the Hoover Dam battle, allied with Mr. House, and running around in old Enclave armor, wrecking shit up. And my skyscraper isn't going to build itself.
Sorry this one is lame and short; I'm just getting over some food poisoning, so my brain is kinda occupied elsewhere.
Oh well; you'll cope.

Horror idea #1

I came up with this idea something like a year ago, because horror is the best genre ever.
Most horror movies these days have ominous titles, scary, dark trailers, and generally let everyone know it's going to be a horror beforehand. Therefore, most people who see them expect to be scared, right?
What if a movie was made, where all the ads, trailers, actors, and the title had absolutely nothing to do with horror? Make the trailers to be some romantic comedy. Ads are colorful/whimsical. Have Vince Vaughn or someone to be the main character. Basically, the only thing that could possibly tip anyone off is the 'R' rating on the trailers.
The movie would start off colorful, full of jokes, and the character finds the girl of his dreams. He gets help from his best friend, they fall in love, etc etc. Standard crap.
At some point, start slowly showing odd things. Maybe the relationship hits a snag, and at that point, maybe put something... weird in the background. Put a little less makeup on the lead character/s, dim the lighting. He'd come home or to his friend's house to find his friend dead. Like, eviscerated dead. Blood every, guts, the works.
From this point in the movie, the character is being tormented. The color is bleaker (tones of grey/sickly green). There is absolutely NO music, except maybe at most a couple scare chords. The actor/s will have no makeup on. Maybe random people in the background will generally do impossible things; have an extra limb, sunken eyes, walk behind a pole and don't come out the other side, but never in focus or emphasis. People will bleed from their eyes; commit mass suicide without anyone else noticing even their existence.
As for the plot, the only thing I could think of is some sort of Lovecraftian shtick; some sort of unstoppable omens, a cult attempting to communicate with an unfathomable (and never, ever shown or heard from) dark god.
People would be shocked, disturbed, and probably very pissed at this movie. The main crowd at first would likely be couples or people on dates, expecting to just see some light-hearted comedy. They would be set in that expectation, too. The worst scares are always the unexpected ones, so why not make that the entire point of the movie?

Oh, you, Internet!

I've learned that part of my life at ACC is learning how to kill time between classes. Especially Mondays, when I have at least three and a half hours of no classes.
Thus, my descent into the internet became even more... interesting.
For instance: My discovery of a Pokemon fanfic that has Ho-Oh turning all the Pokemon into over-powered killing machines bent on killing anyone in their path. Kids get guns!
There is also my discovery of Sexy Hiking. An awful game where you simply try to climb using a hammer... thing. It's really hard. Not very sexy.
Oh yeah, and the game I downloaded that is literally just ways for you to die. You can eventually beat it, but you'll die dozens of times along the way. Thanks, Japan!
If you ever need to kill time, I recommend tvtropes.org, or thebest404pageever.com
Prepare to waste precious hours of your life!

Also, sometimes in the bathrooms, they start making these terrifying knocking noises in the walls that I think are the elevators, but for a split second I always think the building is collapsing and FUCK ACC

EDIT: Almost forgot: Dogscape!
