On the wall is an engraving of colonial dwarves, a blue Dragoon and a red King. The Dragoon is striking a menacing pose. The King is cringing. The colonial dwarves are rejoicing.

Starcraft?

This is a masterful image in ink on paper of a wolf and serpents. The serpents are striking a menacing pose. The wolf is laughing. The wolf is painting. The serpents are drunk. The serpents are withering away.

Hrmmm... Inherit The Earth? My memory of the game is kina fuzzy, but I think I remember something like that.

This one is brobably pretty vague, but:

On the wall is an engraving of a human, armor, and a giant spider. the human is wearing the armor. the human is striking down the spider. the spider is encased in ice.

This one is probably obvious, but:

On the wall is an engraving of a human and cake. The human is falling. The cake is laughing.

Elder Scrolls was correct. Morrowind, specifically. Damn rats...

Hrmmm... That's a tough one.

Is it a Bay 12 Game?


EDIT: Ooh, I know, Liberal Crime Squad?

EDIT EDIT: This is an engraving of an orc and rats in dolomite. the rats are striking down the orc.

Thought this would be fun. Invent an engraving using DF terms describing another game. the next person to post guesses the answer. The one who gets it right makes up a new engraving, and so on.

Alrighty:

On the wall is an engraving of a human and humans in Microline. the human is raising a crowbar. the humans are rejoicing.

Technically, the name 'Death and Glory' is a spoiler in and of itself, isn't it?

Woah, woah, woah, calm DOWN, Moose. Yeah, so Armok wasn't being particularly nice. But is that anything to go ape-shit over? I don't think so.

Both of you, try to be a bit more civil.

Actually, I think he's referring to the other form of colossal worm.

If my Dune knowledge hasn't failed me, each and every segment of a Shai-Hulud has its own brain, heart, and digestive system.

A fad is sort of like a meme, or a trend.

Other than that, I wholeheartedly approve of your version. Good work!  :D

Thanks.  :D

The problem is, my speakers are swiss cheese at the moment, so I can't hear what the original sounds like. The tune I was writing it to is probably closer to "Uneasy Rider" than it is to the original "Ultimate Showdown."

I'll take your advice, and go ahead and make those corrections.

how about if I change it to "so he pulled the lever that made them all fall"?

Actually, line 3 has 13 syllables, while line 4 has only 11. Perhaps "and then dragged him back down where nobody could find him"? that gives them roughly the same nymber of syllables.
