Author Topic: Exploding Barrels Mentioned On Wikipedia! (Read 8302 times)

Exploding Barrels, the made-up game series by me, was mentioned on Wikipedia! On their article "List of fictional electronic games" (en.wikipedia.org//wiki/List_of_fictional_electronic_games), one of the games on the list was...

"the Exploding Barrels series of games and their increasingly bizarre sequels (such as Exploding Barrels 5 vs. The Legend of Zelda: In Space!), a series of in-jokes on the Fungi Forums."

Sadly, no one has made an article on EB, nor an article on the Fungi Forums, but this is still pretty cool.

Heh, that's awesome. I love the fact that they also listed the Maddox games from the Video Games you'll never play article. Sadly, I don't think Wikipedia will let you create an article about the Exploding Barrels games since they don't really exist and it's a joke known only to us. I'm pretty sure Uncyclopedia would though, as long as it is incoherent, lacks continuity and includes a quote by Oscar Wilde.

Who made that article, I wonder?

Someone with a lot of time on their hands.

Only trouble with making an article about TMK is that it would quickly be considered not notable.

And already was.

There used to be an article about TMK? Who made it?

But TMK is the awesomest thing ever invented since the G.I. Joe public service announcments! It'd be a crime against nature not to make an article about it! At the least they could make a small stub article about it (or Exploding Barrels).

Yay! Exploding Barrels will make it to the market one day. Just you all wait. This is all to wicked and FRIGGIN COOL!!! No need to be proper ^_^ :D. You guys know what? You can edit that article. Anyone can, but anyone can remove what you have put, too.

I imagine the game will be a combination of Super Smash Bros., Grand Theft Auto, Tony Hawk, Fable, Metal Gear Solid, Black, Halo, EverQuest, and House of the Dead. In other words, a free-roaming massively-multiplayer first- and third-person roleplaying shooter/stealth game.

I once had an idea for a game similar to that. It was a mix of Action, Platforming, Adventure, RPG, Puzzle, Fighting, Shooting and Knitting. The game was supposed to star Mario, but now I'm having second thoughts....

Glorb · « **Reply #12 on:** May 17, 2006, 12:40:34 PM »

Sounds like my kinda game. Especially the knitting.

The Chef · « **Reply #13 on:** May 17, 2006, 04:30:47 PM »

I forgot that the game would also have unlockable Game&Watch remakes. All 60 of them.
