Make a beer out of blood, sweat, and tears.
Then go around daring people to drink it.

 I say go text adventure. Any story you may be musing at the moment. I would suggest my own, but I fear the main point cannot be translated over the internet terribly well and result in me shrieking about "It's not right" this and "Your doing it wrong" that.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Make a text adventure, but learn Inform and use that instead. It's cool.

The theme of the story? Cat girls.

That's all you need to know.

Once tried to conquer Earth, and succeeded! Too bad it got really, really boring, really, really fast.

One day, we shall all look back on this, and laugh. Sorry about the face, by the way, and the legs, and the eyes, and the arms. In fact, sorry 'bout the whole body.

I voted a text adventure.
For plot:
The player is an very old, and blind, monarch of a nation, that spend almost all of his/her time sitting in the throneroom and talking; with diplomaths, with nobles, with ministers and with generals. basically it's almot like a civ type game plotwise, but it's from a first person perspective and at a much shorter timefrome. The world is randomly generated, but because there is no map and very little numbers a lot of stuff can be abstracted away or fudged a bit so the programing chalenge of that shuldnt be to monumental. The mayority of the game is spent navigating highly complex politics, dialogue and etiquete with nobles, diplomates, and numerus other influential ersons. Despite the procedural generation making it obviusly not this world, there is no magic and very little other fantasy elements, and there is a focus on strict realism and historical acuracy. Interaction with the game world is completely in character, with everything being stated directly throughout dialogue, and you can't actually take actions directly, for example when you want to sleep or eat you tell a servant to help you do that, rather than issuing a game command to do it yourself, the only actions the player can take are Say, Wait and Save/Load/Quit.

I also voted for gibberish.

But, if that's really not an option, you can always try your hand at making album covers for bands that don't exist.  See the "Find your band: Redux" thread for instructions.  I've found that to be quite the little timewaster.

Or, combine gibberish with text adventure and make a Kobold text-based RPG.

About the headphones thing.
Earbuds actually work as a microphone.
at least, passably well enough to talk to people over vent while playing wow.

See, I plugged my earbuds in the microphone slot one night. They weren't working so I put them down. during my adventure running through some random dungeon, I was really pissed off and muttering to myself. Some people said through vent they could faintly hear me. Of course, I figured out the earbuds were working like a microphone like half an hour later.

I looked online, and the internet told me earbuds can work like a microphone. Thus, I found a way to talk to Wow people through vent.

My headphones are made by sony, with battery-powered noise cancellation.
Unfortunately, it only works vs noise like air conditioners, computers, and jackhammers, or so I heard.

So I really will yell into my headphones.
As soon as I find a program to do that in.

Haha, I play DDO with a friend.
He plays it like Diablo, leading to some hilarious situations.



Ummm... How about making crop circles in your neighbor's yards?
