Title: Wierdest project
Post by: CoconutMikeNIke on June 02, 2005, 11:46:47 PM

What is the wierdest project you have ever done.  It could have been for school, fun, or work if it applies.

The strangest project I have ever done was just recently for my Social studies project.  I built a Plinko board, but instead of dollars at the bottom, I had Greek review topics, written with the Greek alphabet.  For the disks I used bad 80's compilation cds, two glued together, and spraypainted.  Because it was the most original idea my teacher had seen, and that she gave me a 100 on it, I let her keep it.

Now the rest of you need to start thinking about your projects.

I made an index for four years of Nintendo Power magazine (Volumes 116 through 162). 'Twas a strange project simply because it is about the biggest waste of time I have ever committed.

Writing all the dialogue from both SMRPG and Paper Mario. My family thinks I'm crazy for that; maybe they're right. I've stopped doing that for the most part due to text dumps (thank you, Deez, for PM2's :D ). Whee.

Definitely beating Super Mario World 2 with my feet. All 48 of the basic levels. I averaged something like an 80.2/100 per level or something.

--Writing novels based on the Pokemon RPGs. I have one for Red version, one for Crystal version, and I'm working on one for Ruby version. They are very close to how the game goes except the main character names his/her Pokemon after anime characters (the same ones in my games) and are accompanied by friends like Ash is. I'm just doing it for myself. I never asked anyone to read them.

--Marking what episodes of what anime are on the tapes I record.

--Drawing anime characters as Pokemon since I can't draw them as humans.

I suppose possibly the weirdest thing I do is my ongoing project of catalogging my collection of VHS tapes containing almost every episode of every Star Trek series.

Or I dunno, maybe ripping all the video I have on my video camera from E3.

Or "The Goggle Files," a top secret thing that has been going for years.

For my Junior Prom, My friends decided that I had to go wearing a tuxedo made entirely out of ductape. Sadly, it didn't work (not enough time or tape) and we really didn't get anything done.
I'm thinking I'll try it again next year though.

I periodically make a neat, weird, short movie.

One time I did the two things that Watoad said he'd never do on the internet.

"All this guy ever does is eat, sleep, say stuff, DDR, and wear glasses."

I'm guessing those two things were to show a pic of yourself in your boxers and then to first name(latter is probably wrong; first one too, maybe).

Thank you for visting my world, come again ... Now entering reality, welcome back.

Wow, that's pretty cool.  I like all the little touches* you put in there.

It is with great privilege and honor that I present this grand award to Luigison: The Most-Creative-and-Biggest-Entertaining-Waste-of-Time award!  Hooray!  Very cool.  Especially the bubble wrap.

I actually have several weird projects I have done.  I wrote down every single mini-game from MP1 in a notebook, instructions of the game, tips, and even little pictures of symbols that represented them.  I also made up a ton of my own ideas for mini-games and drew pictures for those as well.  I don't know what was wrong with my head but I'm glad that I don't do that kind of stuff anymore.

More weird projects:
- Read all of the mailbags at TMK
I'll think of more later.

If this post is edited, as it probably is, you may be wondering why.  Well let me tell you.  Each of YR’s posts are carefully revised and polished over and over to give you, the reader, the most enjoyable and entertaining material possible.  With his posts you have his own personal guarantee that they are of high quality, contain well-thought out wording, and most likely have a bit of humorous content to keep you interested.  That, my friend, is the Yoshisaurus difference.
