Title: Who Wants To Be A Princess? - IP Contest: RESULTS ARE IN
Post by: Tengukami on April 15, 2011, 01:29:11 AM
Pretty much only entered the Facepalm IP contest for a larf, so I'm giving my IP title to one lucky person who completes this challenge.

This is a video of classic video game deaths. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ6APKIjFQY) Maybe you'll be able to identify some, most, or all of them, one way or the other. You might have even played some of them.

Your task, for this challenge, is to depict any of these video game deaths in the medium of your choosing: prose, poetry, drawing, video, music - literally any conceivable genre that can be conveyed over the internet. The sole condition is, whatever video game death you choose to depict in whichever medium you want, it must in some way involve Jack Bauer.

You can submit as many times as you want. Be creative, be funny, be a princess.

Deadline is Sunday 17 April, 11:59PM, GMT.

I could always give this a shot, despite never watching 24 and thus knowing next to nothing about Mr. Bauer, but I can't really promise anything as...

This challenge is very tempting to do. Please give me times to mull over this.

Looks fun. Unfortunately, I'll be out of town this weekend (and no MotK)  =(

I might try to think up of something if I can get home on Saturday night or sometime on Sunday.

The fight raged til end of day
And it pains me terribly to say
I wish it would have happened another way
But victory could not belong to Bauer
As he and his blood fell like a shower
Overcome by Raiden's power.

(Figured I'd at least throw something in here. Figured I may as well finally TRY for a blue rank, hm?)

My name is Arthur. I am a knight, on a quest to save Princess Prin Prin. It is a long, hard journey, and I must bear without my armor for a while because, even though it is amazing defensively... Well, It breaks after a hit. Luckily I find a new one in random places, but I'm not one to question the Gods. As of writing this journal, I am in a graveyard, just sitting on top of a tombstone fearing for my life as zombies try to kill me. It doesnt really matter though, as I've got ar

Okay, life gone, no armor. I've two more tries at thi

Yeah, that time was kind of stupid. Now, I'm just going to sit still, and hope no one see's m



Later that day, a witness confirmed that he has seen a half-naked man with a crazed look in his eye screaming in Times Square about some sort or "Princess" He was later found that day dead, somehow already a pile of skeletons, only for the skeletons to disappear seconds after blinking.. Scientists are believing that it may be caused by a mystical power called a "One-Up", or a "Extra Life", which returns the user to a certain point so they can continue their life. It only activates after death though.

"Mommy, Why was that man naked?"
"Because he was high" screamed Jack Bauer at the top of his lungs, flexing about.

THE MORAL
DONT FUCKING DO DRUGS OR ELSE YOU'LL HAVE TO PLAY GHOSTS AND GHOULS IRL

Edit: I apparently am very good at writing stories related to crack. I... Dont know if thats a good thing :4

Mapping out the inner cave
Creating his own little tour
Searching for one he must save

Ere we come to Jack Bauer
Running around very fast
Collecting little pellets of power

But then he met up with a ghost
He then turned into some toast

(Just came up with this in a span of a few minutes, bigger entry going to come in a few days :V)

Journeying through a field of graves
Arthur ran around in nigh but armor
A princess he has set to save

But being naught but poor
He uses all the scraps he finds
An axe, a spear, and then some more

The path he goes had twists and bends
Heading through a ghastly boat
Although the foes he face follows trends

Though numerous they lack thought
Lacking a dimension third
And in straight paths they do trot

He leaves the boat and finds a raft
He moves from zombies to fish
And moves on as he catches a draft

In the end he fries an octopus
And heads into a pit of fire
How can he do this without a fuss

But here he moves on without fear
He finally beats the fifth stage pyre
And proceeds with a tear

However he's back the first stage without power
And proceeds to die on the stone of Jack Bauer

(No idea how I came up with this on the spot o_O)
(Also kips, nowhere in there did I see a reference to Jack Bauer)

Poetry's fine, but where's the art or music? Go nuts here! Pick mediums you never use! The weekend doesn't last forever.

No sooner have I finished, I notice someone has already done it. But I'm still posting it; it's just something I came up with. It's worth a shot, no?

____________________________________________________________________

WAKA... WAKA... WAKA... WAKA...

My name is Pac Bauer. And these... Were the shortest 24 seconds of my life.

It all began when I got lost in this weird ass maze; covered in black and blue.
I thought to myself, don?t panic; these small looking lights will lead the way.

That?s when I realised I had gotten myself into something far deeper than I imagined.

And those were the shortest 24 seconds of my life.

OM NOM. OM NOM. OM NOM. OM NOM.

Alright, sorry for being late with this. I was struck down by a nasty flu on Sunday night and am only now recovering.

So then.

It seems most everyone opted for the text format, which is totally fine, although I was hoping to see at least one drawing up in here. But ah well.

Anyway, we have a tie.

First, Trance. I found myself giggling several times during this reading. It was a pretty creative take on the assigned challenge, too.

That said, props have to go to Kyubey PX for making quite an effort there in using a medieval genre for a medieval-themed game. Good show!

Now, as Trance is an ID, but Kyubey is but a mere member, I think IP should go to Kyubey. Trance can rest assured that his reading will go directly into my Trance's Readings folder where I will enjoy it for years to come.

Nicely done, everyone, and thanks to you all for taking part.

I think I am quite flattered and contented enough with the fact you might actually have a folder containing my readings. :blush:

Congrats, PX.
