[DaWrecka]

So, you come out of this hole in the ground, pop some pills, eat some terrible meat, get a dog, kill everyone in a Norman Rockwell-esque Americana pseudo hallucination, kill the digital president, "pull a Jesus" on some water in the bay, become Zeus, then turn your godly powers onto some alien bitches.

Spoiler: Click if you don't like guesses

Spoiler: Ha! You thought this would have an answer in it! Sucker!

Okay, seriously, it's Fallout 3

Up until the "Become Zeus" bit, that sounded like Fallout 3.

Wait, what's this other thing here... Oh, you crafty bugger.

My turn... This one's bloody obvious, and if you can't get it, then turn in your Internet licence immediately.

"A man tripping on psychotropic drugs encounters an enormous thing, and informs the creature that since he is gargantuan, his digestive tract must be gargantuan too."

 

[ShindoL Shill]

So, it's a show about a 3-million and something year old guy, his dead friend, the evolved descendant of his cat and a robot.

This one is blindingly obvious.

Red Dwarf. I don't know how common British comedy is in the States, let alone stuff from the 80's/90's, so maybe I'm just one of the lucky ones to have seen even a handful of episodes.

In this game, you go to a tiny province with the same name as a famous director, talk to cat people, a witch in a hut with chicken legs, a hermit with a beard instead of clothing, and a sorcerer whose puns are at least as painful as the ogre's club. But one of your biggest obstacles is the big blue bouncing blob that just wants to love you... to death!

Spoiler: I'm reaching back through almost 20 years of memory for this one

Quest for Glory I: So You Want To Be A Hero.

 

[Vern5]

"After long hours of adventure from the nearest castle, Me and my companions were waylaid by a pack of lions on our way back to a tiny fishing village. I took my time outmaneuvering the pack and stabbing the nearest lions with my spear. A few of my fellow soldiers felt that most tactically sound move they could make would be to grapple the lions by their toes in order to break their spirit.

Another of my companions took this approach a step further: he latched on to a lion with his teeth and shook the creature until it died.

Strangely, none of my companions died and we continued on our way"

Hint: this game has a lot of "Fun" in it.

 

[Storm Dragon]

Woman in playboy bunny outfit surfs on a flying bass guitar while shooting a giant fractal hand robot with a slingshot.

 

[TakeshiLive]

"The trick to, or rather knack of, flying is to throw yourself at the ground and miss."

+1 internetz for the right guess.

 

[madeleinehatter]

So a guy just released from prison starts talking to his dead wife's ghost, a leprechaun, Odin, and the Internet; and eventually drives around the country with them. Oh and he spends like 4 days tied to a tree and dies before coming back to life

American Gods! Love that book! Does sound kinda strange when you put it like that though...

 

[dvd_72]

So this guy catches this girl who falls from the sky. This girl then proceeds to shoot the guy in the head.

So this guy and girl do this kind of dancing and trying-to-shoot-each-other hybrid while the girl tells the guy her life story.

This guy dives off a tower and gets eaten by a giant flying whale.

The main protagonist rides up the crumbling side of a tower on a motorbike while killing stuff.... with the bike.

Spoiler

All of those are from Devil May Cry 3. Not the most bizzare, but it works

Ah, that brings back memories of the man in a bathrobe making sandwiches with perfectly normal beast meat. Oh don't worry, they call them that because they are perfectly normal.

so Douglas Adams! Not the man in the bathrobe, but the man who wrote the book.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

You live a technology advance city before it was destroyed by a huge monster and transported 1000 years in the future.

Final Fantasy X.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?
Wild stab in the dark. With a broken torch.
EDIT: Never mind, someone else got there first. And got it right, I assume.

 

[Meredith999]

So the main character is taking a plane away from a 1930's airport , leaving behind a 1920's car that just moments ago had been modern. As he flys the world continues to regress in age

Anyone guess

Ubik by Philip K. Dick

 

[Rubashov]

So Guy A wants to write a letter to himself to save Guy B's life, but then Guy A shows up tries to persuade himself not to because otherwise the aliens will take away time travel.

 

[Blade1130]

So you go to Heaven and have a DDR contest with God which ends up destroying his game consoles. After that he reveals the secret of the universe.

I want to say that was the Simpson's Game, which the last boss requires you to climb the "Stairway to Heaven" and do battle with God so he will make the aliens invading the town go away. And by "do battle with" I mean "play Dance Dance Revolution with", which slowly results in his Y-Box (I think?) exploding. After that he explains that life was just a video game he invented because he was bored.

So uplifting...

OT: I was exploring some caves looking for vast wealth when I happened upon a young lady. I picked her up, and started carrying her to the exit without incident until I happened upon a large black box with a lot of red paint on top of it. I set the woman down on top of it, and before I knew it, she exploded on top of this box and some shoes with springs on the heels popped out. I then picked up the new loot and jumped away, satisfied at my prize.

Spoiler: And the answer is...

Spelunky [http://www.spelunkyworld.com/original.html] a freeware adventure game in which you can save damsels, or drop them onto alters and sacrifice them for loot. You should totally go get this game right now, it is free after all and totally sick. In fact, what are you doing still reading this? You clearly own a computer, go download it! Oh wait, you must have a Mac, *slap*. Also this game has prostitutes... that's not related...

 

[JLML]

Then the guy's hand starts talking to him after growing a face and turns into a penis when he's talking to a girl he likes.


I'll let you guess on that. Hint: It's not porn in any way.

Parasyte. That manga is awesome. But quite messed up.

So a guy in a plane crash loses his head, which a crazy scientist puts away and resurrects the body, when an artillery shell hits the room just as the head speaks from the other side of the room, leaving only the protagonist and the crazy scientist alive, thinking that the resurrected body and the severed head got destroyed together with the rest of the place.

 

[necromanzer52]

You're transported to this bizarre Tim Burtonesque world, and told to go kill this evil guy, by an elephant who flys around on a swing.

Go on. Get this one. I dare you. You won't though. Not a fucking chance.

 

[WoW Killer]

The Dream Catcher, from Stephen King!

That's the one ^^

I went to see that purely on the grounds that it was Steven King and hence might have at least an interesting story. I came out like 0_0

Same series, but technically it'll be either "Life, the Universe and Everything", where Dent first learns to fly, or "So Long and Thanks for all the Fish", where the ability gets him laid.

I read the whole saga in a period of five days. A friend from Uni gave me the first one and I came back the next day and said "where's the next?". They're all great, but SLaTfatF is irrefutably the best because of all the Dire Straits references, oh and the sex.

This ones a book. The character is a big cult thing on t'internet, but I wonder how many have read the actual novels:

So that otherwise insignificant flat curved sword he took from a white dragon with an impossible to pronounce name, which ultimately became outclassed by a very sparkly similarly shaped weapon later in the series, happened to be super effective when needed to banish a big flaming demon, due to it's ability to absorb fire and otherwise general icyness, though said demon might come back to haunt this character in a future novel when freed from purgatory by a spider queen.

 

[themind]

A mute joins the mafia and enters an epic killing spree spanning three cities before the mafia turns on him, and he kills them all. ALL.

 

[bluepanda 492]

So Cthulu kicks in the front door of the mansion dressed as a pirate and just start a sword fight with him as the mansion rolls over the cliff and falls into the sea.
