Album Game

Stolen from imgur, probably from somewhere else before that....

but the results they got are pretty cool, so try this:[ATTACH]54187[/ATTACH]

MY FIRST GO:

You did not get "Sons of Satan" on your first try at random wiki articles. No way. :p:

Here's mine.

I'll try another one.

It was the 2nd click... the first was some long string of words that I knew wouldn't work. so I went with the 2nd quote as well, and got that line from a bio about a serial killer named Carl Panzram.
I thought that was an interesting coincedence

2nd try, and the random article I got is a band. That's almost like cheating

The game is fun though.

Just my luck to get served a bison's ass...:mad:

This game sucks!:p:

I sort-of-cheated and used the title of the article from the WikiQuotes page because it was so good.

Why ju got to have pictures?
I want to play. I can't from the library.

Where's the teenage sulk emoticon anyway?

Loving your work though.

not mine, but really really good:

It takes a particular kind of expert to pick wild mushrooms alright.


The font is actually pretty important on these. I've been using GIMP, and it doesn't have a huge choice of fonts. That last one with the label maker lettering is a nice touch.

yeh, I've been using MS Paint.

I need to get Paint.net again. I had some kind of conflict with that before... I wonder if it's better now. Gimp takes to friggin long to load, and the interface is afu.

I've been using ArcSoft Photo Studio 5. For a long time...

Band name: Abhidharma-samuccaya
Album title: Hurt Along the Way

Yes, I know I'm not participating properly, but I have no internet connection at home and have to make do with a public computer.
I only wanted to see what I got, and it worked out so well I then wanted to share it.

This may not have been what you envisioned, but here's your album, Sundae.

I think this is such fun because you learn while you do it.

I went with 10 clicks on the random wiki, 10 clicks on the random quote, and the 10th image for this one.

There was so much good stuff on the quote page, and the image was 2x as wide as I needed ...so I did the back of the jacket with the song list as well. I just grabbed strings of words out of his quotes... not just the last words.

Thanks Glatt! Good job.

LJ you're getting all creative with this.
Glad it's an album game and not porn...

What was the formula for creating a pron name? Was it the street you grew up on, and mom's maiden name, or the street and first pet's name? It was sumpin like that wasn't it?

It was your mom's name plus your job.

Penelope Piemaker.

Karen Publ8sher.

Michelle Dancer.

Well, that doesn't work. Maybe that's not the formula.

That's a good one

I thought so too.

Fave.

Wish I had time.

The way I learned it was:
Porn name - first pet & Mum's maiden name (although this has fallen out of favour as they are favourite internet security questions)

Spy name - middle name and name of street

Star Wars name - first car and last medicine you've taken

So FTR:
Smokey Doyle (sounds more like a jazz singer)
Kathryn Boroughgate (sounds more like a Bronte heroine)
2CV B12 Compound (yay, one that works!)

I had heard the latter.

First pet and Street you grew up on.

Mine was Taffy Rabbit Run.

This is oddly compulsive. Today's offering:

very simple one here. This one is not random. I looked for a good picture first, then hit random page until I got a woman's name. (This is a fictional character) I did use the first quote:

On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft (2000) is an autobiography and writing guide by Stephen King.

good choice on the picture

There are some amazing shots on flickr. I never browsed that site. I used to store some there, but I guess they've evolved the site to something more.

I like the font you chose for the album title. Very 80's cocaine party font....It makes me want to flip it over and chop out some lines on the back.

I just use MS Paint. And the quote was from that politico who's just dropped out of the prez race, Bobby Jindal. Does that change your mental image?

nope

Star Wars name - first car and last medicine you've taken

Fiesta Diphenhydramine
