LAST TIME, ON JAKE ENGLISH'S MYSTERIOUS THEATER OF SCIENTIFIC ROMANCE FROM THE YEAR 3000:

Jake: We have to stop the HoundFox virus!

Dave: done. now what?

Kankri: I'm 6aking c99kies.

Dave: okay lets do that.

And now, for the thrilling conclusion!

Kankri: Karkat, you're d9ing it all wr9ng. Y9u have t9 stir the 6atter cl9ck-ways.

Karkat Vantas: WHAT NO. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT WAY YOU STIR IT, IT ALL ENDS UP THE SAME.

Kankri: 6ut y9u w9nt learn anything if y9u keep changing directi9ns, 9r rather y9ull learn t9 d9 it in a su6-par fasshi9n that varies the quality 9f each 6atch. Y9ull never 6ecome a pr9fessi9nal chef at this rate.

Karkat: I DON'T WANT TO BE A CHEF, I JUST WANT TO GET THIS DONE WITH SO I CAN GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM YOU AND YOUR INCESSANT BLATHERING.

Kankri: It seems like s9me9ne needs m9re the9l9gy and ge9metry in his lfie. W9uldn't y9u agree, Strider?

Dave: im sorry what? i cant hear you with these headphones on ad these mixers running.

Kankri: Ineed. N9w, t9 6egin with...

Karkat: OH GOD I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE. JAKE, YOU HAVE MORE OF THAT PONY STORY?

Karkat: START READING IT, THEN. ANYTHING BETTER THAN THIS IDIOT'S RANTINGS.

Jake English: Here we are, Equestria, the winter of 2012. According to our research, the next clue is located on the DNA sequence of HoundFox virus. A virus that, if not stopped, could mutate into a supervirus that would destroy all of Equestria! No doubt Caius' meddling with the timeline will prevent the vaccine from being made, thus allowing him to acquire a virus sample more easily!

Dave Strider: how are we going to do that?

Jake: Simple! We just need to accelerate research on the virus. *notices Twilight Sparkle walking down the street* Quiet, here she comes. Now, the plan is that i'm going to pretend to be an unconscious argentinean youth, while karkat will play the part of an irate organ grinder. Now, when i give the signal, we will begin to sing select verses from 'the sound of music' for pinkie to steal twilight sparkle's day planner. Then dave will go back in time and ensure though time shenanigans that-

Pinkie Pie: Hey, Twi! Whatever you do, make sure you make a vaccine for the HoundFox virus! ^0^

Twilight Sparkle: Thanks Pinkie, but I got that done yesterday*

Pinkie: Wow! That was fast!

Twilight: Uh, thank you? Oh, and Pinkie, are you are coming to the Christmas party next week?

Pinkie: At Jade's place? Wouldn't miss it for the world!

Twilight: Glad to hear it. Sorry I can't stick around, I have some research to do on what this "Christmas" thing is all about in the first place.

Karkat Vantas: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. CAN WE GO NOW?

Jake: I'm afraid not. The time machine still needs to refuel.

Karkat: UGH. IF WE'RE GOING TO READ BADFICS, CAN WE AT LEAST GET OUT OF THE COLD FIRST?

Pinkie: Sure! Let's go to my place!

Jake English's Mysterious Theater of Scientific Romance from the Year 3000: The Poll

Well it's been quite a long year. And what better way to end the year with some fanfiction about some guys from a webcomic reading fanfiction?

But here's the kicker; this time, YOU get to decide what story to cover!

Your choices are:

HELLSTORM EVANGELION: Now that Shinji has killed all the Angels, he now has to fight DEMONS! (no, really) Though originally covered by Elmer Studios' MST, we're going to take it on anyway!

BURSTON'S SORROW II: A fan-sequel to the original Burston's Sorrow, Burston travels back in time to stop his father before it's too late!

NEON EXODUS EVANGELION: An extremely controversial Evangelion AU that apparently starts off terrible but gets much better over time. Still, it's hilariously terrible Marty Stu "DJ Croft" makes it worth reading.

The Return of Dark Kyeoto: ...I have no idea what this is supposed to be about, but I think this is a Kingdom Hearts fic.

Jake: Karkat, why is a dinosaur talking to us?

Karkat: BECAUSE APPARENTLY THEY HAD VOCAL CORDS. WHO KNEW?

Dave: sure why not. its not like wed be able to stop you what with your huge teeth and all.

T-Rex: AWESOME!

Kotomine Kirei: So, Karka†, will you star† the fif†h Holy Grail War?

Karkat Vantas: NO. THE LAST THING WE NEED IS ANOTHER STUPID STORY ARC BASED ON A STUPID TV SHOW.

Edrobot: What?! Noooo, a Fate/Stay Night story arc would have been awesome! You were going to have Don Quioxtie as your Servant, and between fanfics you'd go around and make witty remarks about stuff!

Dave Strider: dont we do that anyway??

Edrobot: Well yes, but...

Jake English: Plus you're already stretching our audience's patience by making caius ballad our main villain. If they don't know who he is, they certainly wont know about kotomine.

Kotomine: He's got a poin†.

Edrobot: Okay fine... sorry about the false alarm, Kirei. If it's any consolation, I heard there's a Evangelion/Madoka Magica crossover down the hall that's looking for a third wheel, if you're interested.

Kotomine: †hanks, I'll look into that. Bu† jus† remember, if you ever need anyone murdered...

Edrobot: Uh, yeah. I'll keep you in mind. So long!

Kotomine: Farewell, Ed. And good luck on your project; I'm forward to seeing it crash and burn.

Dave: what a nice sociopathic murderer.

Karkat: SO BACK ON TRACK; NOW WHAT DO WE DO?

Jake: Well we've been pretty busy lately, so I think we deserve a break. Let's go back home for the Halloween Party!

Karkat: ...IT'S NOVEMBER.

Dave: we have a time machine. your argument is invalid.

Jake: Tallyho!

Puella Magi Pathfinder Magica

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, Puella Magi Madoka Magica is a deconstructionist magical girl show about magical girls who fight monsters called "Witches" in exchange for a wish. There's very little more than I can say about it than it's visually stunning, has a great soundtrack, and has a mature, engaging story that is tragic, but never becomes grimdark. If you have any interest whatsoever in this show, GO WATCH IT RIGHT NOW, as this class contains MAJOR SPOILERS for the series.

Karkat Vantas: YEP. IT'S TRANTOR ALL RIGHT.

Dave Strider: it suuuure is.

===2500 BC===

Gilgamesh: Well, it took me a whole week, but I finally achieved my dream of to building a life-sized statue of myself entirely out of toothpicks and playing cards. And several thousand years before either of those things were invented! Servants! *clap clap*

Random Servant #1: Yes, my lord?

Gilgamesh: I need one of you to invent ice cream so that I may have it with dinner tonight, so that I may celebrate my glorious achievements, and have the other servants get to work on inventing glue to hold the statue together. Untill then I don't want anyone coming within a thousand cubits of it, do you understand?

Random Servant #1: Yes, your highness, I will protect it with my very life!

*Tardis Noises. Time machine lands on statue of Gilgamesh.*

Karkat Vantas: YOU CALL THAT A LANDING?!

Jake English: Sorry, it seems that the old girl pulls a bit to the left.

Andrew Hussie: Not so fast! The only one who's going to killing off Homestuck characters is me!

Edrobot: *Gasp* Andrew hussie?!?! How on earth did you find my secret headquarters?!

Andrew: I looked it up in the yellow pages. It was listed under "S" for "Secret Headquarters".

Edrobot: I knew that would come back to bite me...

Jake English: Well chaps, it's been quite the month or two, but we've finally reached the end of Homestuck High! I'm sad to say that this story did come to an end before it was completed, the author is still alive apparently as she posted the latest chapter a mere month ago. For now though, this is the end of our voyage.

Karkat Vantas: ABOUT. FUCKING. TIME. I SWEAR, IF I HAVE TO SEE THE WORD "EJACULATE"...

Warning

This episode contains another badly written sex scene, and is thus Not Safe For Work. If you have been mentally scarred for life by reading this chapter, please form an angry mob and start an "Occupy Wall Street" rally. This will not help your situation in the slightest, but it will keep you off the internet long enough for me to flee the country.

Jake English's Mysterious Theater of Scientific Romance from the Year 3000 Episode 9

Dave: oaky i recognize the soulcalibur part. its a fighting game series about weaponmasters from all over the world fighting over a pair of magical swords; soulcalibur and soul edge. soul edge is an obviously evil weapon that wants to destroy everything and soulcalibur is supposedly its good counterpart except it turns out in soul caliber 4 and 5 that its also evil or something. i dont really pay much attention to the story but its supposedly more complicated than your typical fighting game (though the story modes of 4 and 5 suck) and the fighting mechanics are universally solid. but whats the rest of the title mean?

Cladun X2 is out on PC!

Well I have to say I didn't see this coming.

A few months ago, I bought Cladun X2 for the PSP on an impulse, and found it to be a fun little Diablo clone with an comprehensive character and item creation tool. So imagine my surprise (and annoyance) to find that the game just came out on PC!

My reactions are mixed. On one hand, it doesn't look like they added any new features. On the other hand, it's nice to see obscure JRPGs like this being exposed to a broader audience.

To celebrate, I decided to release a couple characters I made for the PSP version!

This is a test of the emergency broadcast system.

Dave Strider: of course not. the producer just wanted us to have an episode recap thing. its just that nothing of importance actually happened in the last five episodes so i just took a footage from a bunch of final fantasy games and shit.

Jake English: Normally i would complain, but since i am english and this is tangentially related to dr. who i am contractually obligated to not say anything bad about it. So let us move onward to chapter 5!

Jake: I find that one of the most important skills an author must learn is how to handle his fanbase. On one hand you can't be too active, because then you won't have time to do any more writing. But on the other hand you can't ignore your fans, because then you have no idea how to improve your work. While FanFiction.Net allows instant feedback between authors and readers, many authors prefer answer readers' questions within the chapters themselves, so that nobody misses them. Let's see how this author does handles her fanbase:


to the people asking if im a troll no i am not i wuld rly like 2 bee one tho since the homestuck ones are cool!

Jake: Very clever, the author here is making light of slanderous comments against her work by feigning ignorance of the multiple definitions of the word "Troll".

Karkat: HAS IT EVER OCCURED TO YOU THAT MAYBE THE AUTHOR REALLY IS THAT IGNORANT?

Jake: Pish-posh! This author's work is far too refined for her to be an ignoramus!

Jake English's Mysterious Theater of Scientific Romance from the Year 3000 Episode 4

Warning: This episode is NSFW. While I will do my best to keep my jokes tasteful, the actual fic contains references to rape, gore, cannibalism, and extreme violence. If any of this offends you, please do not read further.

It goes without saying that I do not support any of these practices, and personally think the person responsible for writing this fic REALLY needs to see a psychiatrist even if he was just joking. Those thoughts ain't normal, man.

Episode 4

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Karkat Vantas: ...WE HAVEN'T EVEN BEGUN THE STORY AND I'M ALREADY LOST. WHAT THE HELL AM I LOOKING AT?

Jake English: This my dear boy, is HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. It is a contemporary neo-suburban countercultural surrealist work emulating the dadaist movement of the early to mid 20th century by using the harry potter franchise as a vhehical for wanton violence and debauchery.

Karkat: IN ENGLISH PLEASE.

Dave Srider: he means its a shitty story thats somehow art i guess. have you read harry potter?

Karkat: HELL NO.

Dave: good because it pretty much has nothing to do with the books. its kind of like my immortal from one of those bizzario worlds where all the dudes are chicks and vice versa so that instead of hot topic and linken park the author is obsessed with groinsaws and rape puns. its supposed to be dumb immature and oh so hilarious.

Jake: Not to mention that it's an excellent satire that exaggerates the trend of increasing levels of violence in the media to it's logical conclusion!

Dave: yeah that too.

Karkat: AND YOU THINK I'LL LIKE THIS.

Jake: Indubitably! In fact, i wouldn't be surprised if this story was written by a kindred spirit!

Karkat: ...I'LL BE THE JUDGE OF THAT.

The Hero's Journey, and Plan 9 From Outer Space

In my recent MST, I made a joke that Plan 9 From Outer Space made use of The Hero's Journey, a narrative structure that is talked about in greater detail in the Wikipedia article I just linked to. But I wasn't joking when I said that; whether by accident or by design (probably the former, given that Plan 9 isn't a movie you can plan so much as it just let happen) Ed Wood ended up incorporating the The Hero's Journey into his story. A butchered, nearly unrecognizable form of the journey, but a form nonetheless. Why this is, I can't say for certain, but my guess is that Ed Wood's subconscious contains the same kinds of archetypical stories that our myths and legends are been made out of. He's just REALLY bad at articulating them.


I admit, given the gimmick of my MST series, doing something like this is kind of hypocritical. But hey, it's all in good fun! I know Plan 9 From Outer Space is a bad movie, but it's such a hilariously bad movie that one can't help but laugh at it. If you haven't seen it yet, you can see it at Archive.org. If you don't know what The Hero's Journey is, Extra Credits did a really good series on it, which you can find here and here.

Quick word of warning: This episode is NSFW. And really really stupid, but you kinda knew that already.

Jake English: Well vantas, i think you’ll be happy to hear that this chapter signals an end to the slice-of-life drama that made up the story’s first act.


Dave Strider: yeah. this is where things go from stupid to batshit insane.


Karkat Vantas: I’VE ALREADY BEEN TURNED INTO TAVROS. AT THIS POINT I’VE LEARNED TO STOP SETTING EXPECTATIONS BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW STUPID THINGS THE IDIOT WRITING THIS THING IS JUST GOING TO FIND A WAY TO TOP HIMSELF.

Jake English's Mysterious Theater of Scientific Romance from the Year 3000

I feel like doing something a little out of the ordinary today, so I decided to write something where I pretend that fictional characters are making fun of bad fanfiction.

Allow me to present...

Episode 1 

Homestuck High Part 1

Previous | Next

JAKE ENGLISH: Good evening chaps! *smokes a bubble pipe* I consider myself quite the connoisseur when it comes to motion pictures. But one of the few things i enjoy more than a rousing weekend at bernies is a good romp down the worldwide interweb in search of new works of fan fiction. Unfortunately not everyone shares these opinions. Most in fact would refer to such works as "cheapside drivel" "a disgrace to penny dreadfuls" or even "unpublishable bullshit". To a regular reader of fan published work this is quite bamboozing as the stuff i have read has been nothing but top quality entertainment! Since i hate to see one of my hobbies unjustly slandered i have made it my duty to enlighten the uninformed public about the wonders of fan fiction! And what else should we start with but my favorite work in the whole goddamn world? "homestuck high" (as the folks call it) is a ripsnorting tale seeped in the supernatural, and based on the world famous internet graphic novel known as Homestuck (which i might add i am a character in). Now without further ado let us dive into this literary masterpiece and 

KARKAT VANTAS: OH HELL NO! HELL! FUCKING! NO!

JAKE: Oh, Vantas. *rolls eyes* Are you here to pester me with another one of your cockamamie rantings? Perhaps to persuade me that this story is a pile of rubbish?

KARKAT: HOW CAN YOU THINK OF THAT MISRIBLE PILE OF LAMINATED THINKPAN EXCREMENT AS ANYTHING BUT AN ABOMINATION OF THE WRITTEN WORD?

JAKE: Tut tut, don't be so dismissive. It's like that old saying "you cant' judge a book by it's cover" except the other way around.

KARKAT: YEAH. YOU TOTALLY SOLD ME RIGHT THERE WITH THAT WITTY RHETORIC OF YOURS.

Things I have Been Doing For the Past Two Months

Once again, after a two-month hiatus I'm finally back! (not that anyone cares, really)

So what have I been doing these past two months? Well for one thing I've...

• ...made a puzzle-platformer about the Harlem Globetrotters in an unsuccessful attempt to get an internship with Firaxis.
• ...beaten Diablo III
• ...played way too much TF2
• ...played not enough A Valley Without Wind
• ...bought Persona 3: FES
• ...read some hilariously bad fanficiton.
• ...developed house rules for a Shin Megami Tensei: Persona-themed game of The Dresden Files RPG
• ...started two Play-By-Post RPGs; Kingdom Hearts-themed Mutants and Masterminds game, and a Persona-themed Dresden Files RPG game.
• ...got Netflix and watched way too many episodes of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.
• ...started a Homestuck-themed graphics pack for A Valley Without Wind
• ...done jack-squat on my Dungeons of Dredmor mod.
• ...read Flex Mentallo: The Man of Muscle Mastery, and really enjoyed it even if I only had the vaguest idea what was actually going on. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes really confusing comic books
• ...written some stuff for The SCP Foundation.

I'm probably going to go into more detail about this stuff in future blog posts, this is just an overview of what I've been up to.

ARG BUG FIX!

Oops, someone on the Gaslamp Games forums just caught a major bug in my mod; apparently the first skill gave players 7 levels in smithing. Thankfully I was able to fix this really quickly.


Reader: Download Dreadstuck V1_05

Dredstuck: ...wait, you mean you were still working on it?

 After months and months of not-particularly-hard work, the first version of Dredstuck, my Homestuck-Themed Dungeons of Dredmor mod is complete!

As mentioned previously, this version focuses on adding skills and items based on Dave Strider in the form of the "Hipsterology" skilltree, which gives powerful, melee-oriented stat buffs in exchange for dehibilitating penalties. It also gives starts you with the Broken Caledscratch, which can potentially be crafted into one of the beast weapons in the game!

It also implements something I like to call "True Alchemy", which provides special recipes that allow you transmute crafting materials!

If you saw my last post, then you already know about Flash Step and Unbelievably Ill Jams, but what about the new skills? Let's go over them, shall we?

(DOWNLOAD LINK AFTER THE JUMP)

Game Jam III: Do you remember love?

Woo! Another game jam!

This time I teammed up with Matt Dallas to make a short, Ikaruga-inspired platformer using Stencyl. It's rough around the edges and it lags like crazy, but it's not bad for 8-hours work. He's also expressed intrest for doing the music for an iOS version of my last game jam game, but we'll just see if that works out.

GLUB GLUB GLUB GLUB

Guess who just rediscovered Graffiti Kingdom?

PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAX! (and free stuff)

So I just got back from Pax East, and I bet you guys are wondering; did I have a good time?

Can you attack a Giant Enemy Crab's weak-point for massive damage?  The answer is yes, yes I did.

Even though I ended up missing a bunch of panels I wanted to go to, avoided most of the larger games on the show floor to avoid waiting in endless lines, and had to skip the third day to catch my ride home, I had a great time nonetheless.

GOING TO PAX EAST

GOING TO PAX EAST TOMORROW! MY FIRST GAMING CONVENTION! SO EXCITED! CAN'T CONTROL SELF! WILL POST AWESOMENESS!

ON RELATED NOTE! SPILLED SODA ON KEYBOARD! SHIFT KEY STUCK! CAN'T TYPE PERIODS! WILL ATTEMPT TO BLOW DRY!

Did you know...

...that you can make GIF animations with Flash? I certainly didn't.
