So Call of Duty goes back to its roots with probably the most uninspired name ever. On one hand, I'm really happy to be getting a WWII FPS shooter, on the other hand the total focus on the American Campaigns and the complete lack of mention of any other country has me a little worried.

Author's Note: Well… After months of talking around here, I’ve finally jumped and decided to start a Quest, to get some practice writing English (speaking of which, I thank Elephant Parade for his help in telling me what proper English is actually supposed to look like, and Mgbm for his...

Exclusive Solutions *A scene of scarcely-glimpsed combat appears on screen. The camera shakes in nervous hands, occasionally succeeding in showing a glimpse of the world outside of a shattered window. Gunfire echoes sporadically in the background, appearing as little more than static from the...

Exclusive Solutions The World Today It is 1980, and the world teeters over a chasm that is the Third World War. The Soviet Union has invaded Afghanistan, and the US scrambles to respond as domino after domino falls to the enemy of capitalism. However, something is about to happen that will...

What's this? Kimi Shi Ni Tamau Koto Nakare (Thou Shall Not Die) is a seinen manga written by Yoko Taro and illustrated by Daisuke Moriyama. The synopsis is this: in a not too distant future, supernatural powers have been brought into reality, and the world is growing less and less peaceful by...

At the end of whatever misadventure our prospective recruits went through to first sign-up for the Legion (which our talented Players might describe in the next few posts), the Recruits were then directed to some out-of-the-way location in their world, whether it be a narrow alleyway, a...

As you flip through the newspaper, look through the bulletin board, surf the Internet, or otherwise peruse through your world's equivalent of any of the above, you find yourself confronted with a rather peculiar advertisement... WE WANT YOU! Are you bored? Raving for some action? Or...

Im thinking of writing a Modern military vs Fantasy/Portal type of tale. Something vaguely seemlier to "Gate:thus the jsdf was there”, just without the manga/anime stereotypes, senseless charging that happened over and over agin. The story will start with a SEAL team training at NYPD...

Somewhere, someplace. At some time. In the future. Where the world as we know it has long gone to past. And all that remains of society is waste, dirt, and the consequences of the darkness residing in the deep corners of human nature. The mission, as always, begins in the heat. One of the...

Summary When reading Wildbow's Worm, I was struck by the portrayal of Parahumans in organized crime groups (e.g. Gesellschaft). I decided to explore what would happen if the US Government formed groups to deal with the organized crime like they did in the 1920s-1930s. The ATF and FBI jointly...

Rising in the East Its always rising in the East IC Thread It was the year 1859 anno Domini, the 6th October in the Julian calendar and Tsar Nicholas I was clinging on to life and rein even as his breath was getting slower and his royal blood was getting more and more replaced by...

The following quest is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek quest inspired by works such as Toy Story, Small Soldiers, The Indian In The Cupboard, the PS1-era Army Men games, and good ol' childhood nostalgia and imagination. This quest will be full of crossovers of various types, lots and lots of...

‘Til My Last Breath To be honest, towards the end some people had their problems with the United States of America. Well, many people. Everybody. Even the Americans. But given current events, nobody really thinks that it deserved what happened to it. Let’s jump back a bit. The year is 2048...

So, The Division. New game that I've seen come out, and from what I've seen, it looks pretty cool. However, as I am a shit judge of things, I wish to ask SV a few things about it before I get it. 1: How's the gameplay? From the streams I've seen, it seems to be STALKER meets Borderlands, with...

Looking for the next story in the series? It's here: Batman 1939: Swimming in the Styx December, 1940. Bodies are disappearing from morgues. A couple lies murdered in the street. To solve the mystery, Batman must seek the help of the most frustrating thief he's ever crossed. But even with...

In the wake of the campaign of Black Ops III (which was...something), I thought it was time to have a thread on the most overrated FPS of our times. Here you can recommend, read, or write fanfics on the COD universe at large, be it about the originals, World At War, the Modern Warfare series...

I was randomly lurking around Light Novel Translation works when I encountered this little gem. The story is about a Japanese Salary-man who got reincarnated in a Loli Magical Girl because God is a Terrible Manager. So far I only manage to read the Prologue and Chapter 1 of the Novel but I am...

It was a light at the end of the tunnel. Japan had developed something that could finally push back even the hated Abyssals, but Japan refused to deal with the Russian and Chinese navies. That didn't stop either of them. Disclaimer: The Kantai Collection franchise is owned by Kadokawa Games...

Thought a bit on this if I wanted to make a quest out of this or a RP-lite. I settled for the former! Why? Because it's really more of a "let's play", running you through a series of missions. Basically P&P Heroquest-Ace Combat. Background: The world's a shitty place after a worst-case...

More on 26th of April.
