The Wonder Square

~~~ Wonder Square ~~~

Welcome to the Wonder Square. No, there's nothing new here. Yes, I am a slacker. Yes, I am extremely busy (both academically and socially). I am, however, currently working on the "ultimate" Magical Drop 3 FAQ which has an associated Translation Project. And...I hereby promise to complete the Wonder Quest within the next few months.

  ©©© Wonder Quest ©©©
   There are legends that speak of worlds and treasures beyond anything presently known. Long ago there existed a multitude of parallel universes that connected with each other in a nexus of harmony. Each world, however, soon grew jealous of the others, and eventually a massive war erupted. Fearing the annihilation of all creation, the council of wizards brought their magical powers together to destroy all links between the dimensions and seal them away into seperate realities.
   Welcome to Wonder Quest. The time has come for you to seek out the deepest and darkest secrets of this place. Should you decide to embark on the adventure, you will follow the trails that the League of Mages has left behind and try to piece together the answers you were never intended to know. It won't be easy, and answers will probably not come quickly, but should you persevere and succeed, your perception of this website will be changed forever.
   To begin your quest: Start by seeking out the 10 secret links that are found here on this main page. They are disguised in ways that you would not expect, and they can only be found through clever searching. Each secret link will lead you to a secret area that will often hold something funny, useful, or just plain weird. At the bottom of each of these pages you will find a magical phrase known as a "key". It has been said by a famous wizard that keys are what drives everything forward. The more keys you know, the more powerful you will become.
   You can E-mail me a list of keys as you find them to receive *points*. Send all entries to: Shade7x@yahoo.com, and include the phrase "Wonder Quest" in the subject, please.
   If you can find at least 1 key you will be given a rank and included in the Champion's List here. The more links you find, the higher the rank you will be assigned.
   Good luck.

-Important notes for the Wonder Quest (updated 8/31/00):
-You must be using Microsoft Internet Explorer to be able to complete Wonder Quest. Netscape Navigator and WebTV may not be able to access all of the links.
-You may be required to download and run a program during the quest. I'm not sure if WebTV can do this or not.
-Please do not send the keys one at a time. Instead, just create a list and fill them in as you find them. Just mail the list whenever you decide to take a break from playing so your score can stay updated.
-I am in college now, which means that everything else has taken a back seat to both my classes and various social responsibilities. Do not get offended if it takes me a while to update this list. I will still try to get around to it at least once a week.

I write a lot.
I guess it's just in me.
Sometimes I write because I'm happy, sometimes I write because I'm angry, sometimes I write because I'm just bored.
Here you will find a small sampling of my works. I write short stories, poetry, some non-fiction, and I'm working on a few novels. Most of my better pieces I refrain from posting for fear of plagurism and theft, but what I do have here still of fair quality. If you like what you read, feel free to write me and let me know.

The Enshadowed Dungeon of Wonder
Eventually we all visit that enshadowed dungeon of wonder,
if only to watch for a while as the angels battle the nightmares eternal,
weaving their cosmic dance upon the shores of paradise,
and forever veiled in thier mask of scattered starlight.

(Fly in shot of Sam with a bald head and a large gold earing in one ear)
Sam: ''What's my name?''
''That's right. God's son is no longer a meek, humble savior ready to take your sins upon him. He's come to Earth to kick some ass in the name of his father.''
(scene)
(Jesus (Sam) strodes into the barn where Mary, Joeseph, and him had stayed on that first night)

(new scene)

-Judas: ''Jesus, come on. Be resonable. You know I would never double-cross you. You're Gods son!''
-Jesus: ''You turned me in for 30 pieces of SILVER! I'm not even worth GOLD to your cheap ass! Do realize what you've done!?''
-Judas: ''Fine. I do! Now Pilate will come arrest you and you'll be crucified!''
-Jesus: ''Over my dead body.'' (Takes the 30 silver pieces and shoves them down Judas' throat.)
(new scene)
-Pontius Pilate (sitting on his throne with a royal air): ''Ha, you claim to be God's son!? If you are God's son then show us your power now. Prove it to us.''
-Jesus: ''I was hoping you'd ask that. Time to get medival on you bitches.'' (Launches into a roundhouse kick and uses the decending blade of a nearby guard to cut his bonds)

Fukémon = Funny shit
Haunter120 left a message for me about some Pokémon parody site and I grudgingly checked it out (I hate Pokémon crap). But it turns out that it is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time on the internet! It is absolutely hilarious. Be sure to check out the link below (remember that the site uses the Flash plug-in), and watch Mewtew's Pimpin' Adventure for your first cartoon:

-You are guaranteed to be offended:
Think you've seen offensive material on the internet before? Think again. Check out this insane ass link: http://www.co.jyu.fi/~np/rpg/DnD/
This guy must be crazy, right? Or is he? Be sure to check the site carefully before you decide.

-Quality Games From Triangle Soft:

Friday Fantasy 8:
An epic porn surfing adventure built on the theme of love.

You are Skeet Monkeyheart and are on a quest to find the legendary "free porn site". Along
the way you will face deadly pop-ups and blind links at every turn. Conniving pay-sites
will ambush you when you least expect it and the assualt of spam e-mail will haunt you
forever. Beware, brave soul, of clever banners and "free trials". Both are merely traps set
for the inexperienced porn hunter.
But if you persevere and give it all you have, you too might uncover a treasure trove of
jpegs and mpegs and one day be able to "junction" your "gunblade".

"Bounce Her" for the JoyStation 2 game console.)

-Fight epic and drawn out arguments with your beloved, ranging from quick skirmishes over leaving the lights on to amazing wars over why you didn't come home last night.
- Recieve over 2,000 quests to accomplish, ranging from "going to the store to pick up some pads" to the very scary "getting a job".
- 19 different PMS classes ranging from "mildly irrate" to "RUN AWAY WHILE YOU STILL CAN"
- Deep customization options
- Only on the Joystation game console

"...Friday Fantasy Tactics is so much like having a real relationship, I ended up putting a couple of holes in my apartment walls from frustration." - Super-Fly Gaming World
