When you cite sources you cite where you originally got the information not the actual source that created it. Just shows you that DAC are more professional journalists than the NMA crew.

That would be a cool game.

Maybe a Sims add-on.

Even better: Redo Bully as Retard Asylum.

Use Tardblog to script the cutscenes.

Goddamn. You could have special combo moves like poop in your pants, competitive drooling minigames, etc.

People waddling around in diapers wearing helmets and having little fits where they screech and wave their hands like flippers.

What a fucking awesome MMOG that would be.

You could have classes and levels and special tard perks.

"I'm a Level 17 Cretin/ 4th Level Spaz!"

Maybe you could also play as teachers/Special Olympics coaches.

You could have missions like "Take your troop of Tards to the store..."
Hilarity ensues.

P.S. Tardblog is full of goodness:

"#16: Joe's Assignment

In the front of my class I have a bin for submitted assignments. At the end of the day I'll go through it. Occasionally someone submits some work that's worth grading, usually however I just find spit balls, used tissues, chewed pencils, sheets of paper with curse words all over them, or someone's book. Today I was particularly bad, and I was basically dumping the bin into the garbage, when I came across Joe's submission.

Joe had taken a piece of paper, folded it in eight, as we usually do for math problems. Then instead of just using the eight rectangles for the problems, he cut each one out and made a stack of papers. He stapled the stack together, and submitted his work that way. This amazes me for several reasons:

-First of all the papers were cut, not ripped, this means he had to have access to a pair of scissors.

-Second the cuts were actually straight, very unlike Joe.

-Third, he had access to a stapler to put it together.

Despite this amazing effort, he didn't actually do any of the problems. Apparently after all that hard work making the booklet he didn't feel like putting anything in it. "

Herve should hire Haris to get the job done.

Anyway one of you enlightened ones should enlighten me what happens with the Fallout licence in case Interplay will finally kick the bucket? Bethesda has the licence for PC and console Fallout 3, 4 and 5 but everything else would go to the highest bidder, right?

If they don't make their own interview then they have to.

ALso if interplay actually like dies I don't know if the IPs just go up for sale, I think they are still owned by someone in the company like Herve. Even if it does go up for sale I doubt anyone but bethesda would buy the rest or the entire Fallout license name and setting for a cheap price.

Haris made a mod? Well shit, I guess I retract my statement. How about "Frissy's the new Janus Matchell"?

Not even close.

Antimeasure made a post apocalyptic island for Flashpoint once. Do we stack it together with the "Fallout 1 & 2 Mods" or what? It's a spinoff -- get your facts straight.

Troika gets resurrected and releases Van Buren.

FINE.

What about the Phallout, or something mod for Fallout 2 then, huh?

Bethesda doesn't have the license for 3, 4 and 5. It has the license for 3 with an option for 4 and 5. If 3 flops, Bethesda can waive the option to purchase 4 and 5.

The rights to make 3 is irrespective of who owns the Fallout license, that's for sure. I'm assuming the deal on 4 and 5 is the same, no matter where the license goes Bethesda has an option on 4 and 5.

Beyond 5 it's free, but that has nothing to do with Interplay's status. If Interplay stays they keep the right to sell beyond 5, if someone else buys the license they can sell or make from 5 onwards.

By the time Fallout 6 gets released it is called 'alternate history'.

Seriously doh, are we looking at Fallout: Police Academy here? How many games are there with five sequels?

EDIT: As in, games with an actual, continual story and theme. I know Final Fantasy has been dragging on for, what, a million fucking games? And those sort of story-less things, like Pong: Version 11Ã‚Â½ and Arkanoid: A new take. But seriously, imagine Fallout 6. "You've killed the master, fucked with the enclave, stomped on the wood elves of Gryffindor, ate the fabled cheese of bad gas while slaying the three-headed dragon, helped the Guild establish a stranglehold on New New New Reno and now you face the most perilous challenge of all times: count all the fucking sand in the wasteland."

That just made my day. Imagining certain people in that scene.

@St. Toxic

So what is it? I'm curious, because it looks awesome. The "easies" way to create it would be Flash, but I really haven't seen any "ooh aahh" flash movies in these communities. So that's the reason why I leaned towards 3D. If it's frame-by-frame-photoshop-fun, well I'll raise me hat for ya. Takes time. Devotion (it's a bloody avatar). Still, photoshopping (or painter, or whatever) is a skill that is present in these communities.
