Some stories have a message...kinda...

Additional Notes:

WARNING! (The real one)

This story is pretty offensive, it can get graphic and downright ruthless at times so if you don’t like that sort of humor, don’t read this story. But if you read it anyway don’t complain if you get offended, I did warn you and keep in mind it IS only a story.

(Or read it anyway, get offended and leave a hilariously triggered comment, that's fine too.)

Also, don't bother trying to "win" either. You can't. Just heed the moral lessons you may learn.

One musician's tale in a dying world

Additional Notes:

If you’ve read and liked Necromancer, then this might interest you as this story takes place during the same course of events of that story. (Not a prequel, not a sequel, but an equal!)

However, this story is definitely more “story” than “game”. In fact you shouldn’t even bother reading it if you’re intent on “winning”. You can’t. That being said, there is a “true ending” to this story and you’ll probably know if you get it. If you do get it, you can consider it a “win” if you like.

There are a few points in the story where there are links that lead to “Letters to Home”. While not necessary to understand the story, they do provide a little more insight into the protagonist’s thoughts and feelings on various situations.

The last hope for a dying empire

Additional notes:

This story can be very long assuming you're not dying. Years pass and your surroundings will most likely change. You may very well live a life time in the story.

As with any of my writings, the story comes before the game. However while there isn't a complex inventory and all of that, you can technically "win" by getting one of the epilogues.

There are 13 epilogues total.

There are also several points in the story where there are links that lead to more background information on various people, places, things and events. While not completely necessary to understanding the story, they do give you more insight into it.

Carnivals aren't all fun and games.

Additional Notes:

While there is only one spot that contains extra histories for this story, it's basically the background information of all the major characters and factions. It's strongly recommended that these are read due to the fact that your character will be interacting with most of these folks in his attempts to successfully accomplish his task(s).

This story has a very factional feel to it, so choose your allegiances carefully to get one of the better endings.

If you see a bright light, duck and cover!

Additional notes:

I should point out that this story can be very long assuming you're not dying. Years pass and your surroundings will most likely change. You may very well live a life time in the story if you're lucky. You will also experience a completely different adventure depending on how you escaped the initial nuclear strike. (Assuming you do survive it.)

As with any of my writings, the "story" comes before the "game". However, this story was written in a "game like" format. So while there isn't a complex inventory and all of that, you can technically "win" by getting one of the 4 special endings. (You'll know if you get one because you'll get an epilogue)

This one's for the kids, no really!

Additional Notes:

This story has clear cut win/lose endings. There is nothing excessively unusual about this story, it's just a simple "children's story".

(Yes, you can still die in it)

Running the family business isn't easy!

Additional Notes:

In a few places there are links for history or certain characters. While not necessary to understand the story, they do provide further background information.

There are several endings varying in degrees of good/bad or neutral outcomes. Technically there is one very happy ending, but it isn't labeled as such.

Underneath the sickness there's love...

Additional Notes:

WARNING!

This story contains a lot of graphic content, if you are offended by ultra violence, explicit sexual descriptions, tons of swearing, blasphemy, inappropriate dark humor, and brutal misanthropy in general then DO NOT read this story!

Of course now that I’ve mentioned all the things it contains, you’ll probably read it anyway, you sick little monkey.

Well don’t complain if you get offended, I did warn you and keep in mind it IS only a story.

(Or read it anyway knowing it'll offend you and leave an amusingly triggered comment. That's fine too.)

This also isn't really a "win/lose" type story. While there are some endings better than others, this is basically just a tale about a very twisted man and his very twisted lifestyle.

Additional Notes:

This story is definitely more "story" than "game", however there are two distinct paths that can be followed, each with their own pitfalls and additional choices. There is also "one true" ending in which can be considered a "win" (You'll know if you got it, because you'll get an epilogue)

This story can get long, and assuming you're surviving, years do pass in it and you and your environment will change. There are a few points in the story where there are links that lead to more background information on various people and things. While not completely necessary to understand the story, they do give you more insight into it. The text that accompanies some of the pics are also done for similar purposes (Your journal entries, personal thoughts, letters written to you, etc)

Humanity never changes...

Additional Notes:

There are links leading to various background information and your character's current thoughts throughout the story. In some cases these may provide greater insight since some mysterious things can occur in this story.

There are also several endings varying in degrees of good/bad/neutral outcomes. Technically there is one ultimate "winning" ending, but it isn't labeled as such.

Emotions can be wonderful or dangerous...

Additional Notes:

This story has a few bits that are probably a bit on the disturbing side. Not many, but they are there in places. So if you don't like that sort of thing, you probably shouldn't read it.

This story in general is probably a bit odd and less verbose than most of my other stories. There are also several endings varying in degrees of good/bad/neutral outcomes. While there are some endings better than others, this is basically just the tale of a teenager who definitely has some issues.

From humble beginning to infamy and beyond!

Additional notes:

This story is a fully self contained one and can easily be read on its own, however it also acts as a "sequel" to Innkeeper.

As with any of my writings, the story comes before the game. However while there isn't a complex inventory and all of that, you can technically "win" by getting one of the 12 epilogues.

Things would be so much easier if your name was Mary Sue

Additional notes:

This story is a fully self contained one and can easily be read on its own, however it also acts as:

A direct sequel to the "Good Girl" short story in Tales From The Basement.

A semi sequel to the other TFTB short stories, Repression, TRASH, Love SICK and Geek.

A semi prequel to Ground Zero.

As with any of my writings, the story comes before the game. However while there isn't a complex inventory and all of that, you can still "win" by getting one of the epilogues.

There are 16 epilogues total.

Because Basement Dwellers are people too!

Additional Notes:

This story is three stories in one. Your first choice will lead to a separate tale of a different “basement dweller”. Each one is mostly different in tone.

Ebay Escapist is weird and random. It’s the least verbose of the three. (Or my stories in general)

Good Girl is the longest and most descriptive of the three. There is some weirdness going on here too, but is mostly kept much more in "reality". There is a cast of characters link in the beginning to help you keep up with who’s who.

Anime Addict has a lot of offensive language and humor, so if you don't like that sort of thing you shouldn’t read this one.

In all the tales there are several endings varying in degrees of good/bad/neutral outcomes. While there are some endings better than others, these are basically just tales of basement dwellers.

It's an edgelord boogaloo!

Additional Notes:

This story is three stories in one where it follows a different protagonist based on the first choice.

This story is also probably really offensive or something. Probably shouldn't read it if that's not your thing, but feel free to do so anyway and complain loudly in the comments since those are always good for a laugh.

Anyway, there's your extra warning. You can't say you weren't told.

Incel Insanity and Whining Wokie are all new tales, while Film Fanatic is a "reboot" of sorts of an older story called Exploitation Theater. Yes, it's finally here and been greatly expanded on.

As always the story is always more important than the game focus, but also as always, you definitely can get better endings than others.

Three ladies. Three legends.

Additional notes:

This story is a fully self contained one and can easily be read on its own, however it also acts as a connection to Rogues, Eternal and Necromancer.

As with any of my writings, the story comes before the game. However there is an epilogue for each "winning" ending.

Yee Haw! It's a trailer park life for me!

Additional Notes:

This story has a ton of offensive langauge and humor so if you don't like that sort of thing, you probably shouldn't read it. Though given the setting, the language used is pretty accurate.

This also isn't really a "win/lose" type story. While there are some endings better than others, this is basically just a tale about a typical day of a degenerate that lives in a trailer park.

A grapefruit.

Actually that's not a bad idea.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (The Movie)

This sequel pretty much takes place soon after the last one ended. It’s also less of a sequel and more like the second part of a much longer movie since it’s clearly following the characters introduced in the last movie. Specifically Dr. Ian Kelson, Jimmy and even Samson (The Alpha infected)

Spike is in the movie but he’s more of a secondary character and not really the protagonist. I’d actually say Ian and his interaction with Samson gets the most attention. Jimmy and his gang would be the other focus of which Spike is haplessly dragged along for that ride.

Probably spoilers ahead, but I won’t go into step by step detail.

So as I said the movie focuses a lot on Ian and his interaction with Samson who is still hostile and running at him with a big swinging dick (When he’s not killing other survivors). Ian keeps drugging him and attempting to “tame” him in increments. First he cleans up some of his wounds and speaks to him and from there Alpha sort of keeps returning to the Bone Temple as if he is struggling to not act like a rabid animal.

Ian has to keep him drugged of course to interact with him for short periods of time and eventually he even gets him to speak a word as opposed to just growling and yelling. Samson at one point returns to a derailed train car and has a bit of a flashback to when he was a kid and all this shit went down. He temporarily even snaps out of his rage virus condition which isn’t great at that time since now all his fellow infected now see him as not like them and he’s gotta fight his way through them. (He’s still got his unnatural rage strength so he wins)

Meanwhile Spike gets pressed ganged into the Jimmy cult after he manages to kill one of them in a fight. While they’re all called “Jimmy” the leader goes by “Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal”

And yes of course it’s entirely based on the look of the infamous pedo Jimmy Savile. Though Lord Crystal is more of a Satanist who claims he’s “Old Nick’s” son and is doing his work by going around torturing and killing folks or giving them “charity” as he calls it.

The rest of the Jimmys are all a bit younger than he is and they all got secondary names added to Jimmy like Jimmy Ink who is basically his second in command. She’s less of a believer in all of Lord Crystal’s bullshit, and more of a pragmatist that is along for the ride since it’s safer to be in a group though she does sort of buy into the idea of the devil especially when she stumbles upon seeing Ian interacting with Samson at the Bone Temple through binoculars.

It all comes to a head when the Jimmy gang and the Doctor finally meet.

You sort of find out too that Lord Crystal isn’t completely batshit crazy that believes his own bullshit. He actually has a whole private conversation with Dr Ian (At first he really does wonder if he’s the devil due to all the bones and the doctor’s skin being covered in the stuff that stops the infection)

They end up going on about the times before the infection and such, but he explains that he needs the Doctor to put on a performance that he really is the devil so he can keep his gang in line and such. (Because at that point Spike is clearly not displaying the appropriate amount of enthusiasm for murder and even Jimmy Ink is talking back to him a lot) Of course the other option is not to help him and he’ll just kill him instead.

The doctor agrees and it’s a hilarious performance he puts on as he sets up lanterns all over the temple, blasts Iron Maiden’s Number of the Beast and dresses up a bit more outlandishly while singing and dancing around. Ralph Fiennes was doing a lot of dancing and singing in general in this movie since he’s periodically listening to other 80s Brit bands. (Seems like he probably had fun with this role)

It’s all going as planned more or less until Ian recognizes Spike and at that point the doctor changes shit up by claiming Lord Crystal needs to “ascend” by getting crucified and then orders his gang to do it. Well as you might expect this results in a lot of folks getting stabbed and killed. Jimmy Ink or Kelly as you find out her real name is and Spike are about the only survivors.

Lord Crystal gets crucified upside down by Kelly before she leaves with Spike. Ian gets to see Samson one last time before he dies who thanks him. It’s not entirely clear if he’s completely cured, but he’s definitely more aware than he was. Lord Crystal eventually gets eaten by other infected.

It then cuts to some time later where you see Jim from the very first movie living in a home where he’s home schooling his daughter. She’s part black so one can assume this is the offspring he had with the black woman from that first movie, though she’s nowhere to be seen so she might be dead.

In any case lit ends with the daughter seeing Kelly and Spike running from some infected and after a brief moment of wondering if they should help them, Jim decides they will and then they rush off to assist.

The End

This one goes back more with the idea that “Humans are the real monsters” thing since Jimmy and his gang are running around torturing and murdering folks for shits and giggles (Or for Satan specifically) as opposed to the Infected who are just murdering and eating folks because well okay they’re still monsters too.

Still, the Jimmy gang is more interesting than just a bunch of army dudes that suddenly turn RAPIST for no reason after only a month.

Also delved more into the idea of someone actually trying to cure the infected since Ian risks his life more than a few times hanging around Samson even if he is drugged.

Anyway it’s a good second part to 28 Years Later, I liked it.

Drinking your own pee dehydrates you hence why he died.

As one quote goes "Those who drink their own pee, don't know what they're doing."

He jumped 100 feet off a burning battlement into a crocodile infested moat in front of 2000 sharp shooters.

Then died of dysentery.

RIP

"Mommy Can I Go Out and Kill Tonight?"

Author took it down since he was trying to erase all traces of himself from the net due to getting into major trouble with the law. Something about molesting his patients or something. 

Anyway he's on the run now since he's pretty sure he'll be found guilty and doesn't want to get ass raped in prison.

Fucking Christ, you lot are arguing over religious shit that doesn't matter since UD totally missed the mark on the "old gods" prompt anyway. Anything he uses from the text walls isn't going to help him.

Primate (The Movie)

Okay so did you see the movie Nope and wonder what it would’ve been like if it had just focused on a chimp murdering the shit out of everyone?

If so then this wouldn’t quite match up.

Granted a chimp murdering the shit out of everyone would still happen, but the reasons would be quite different. The chimp in that one was chimping out mainly due to a mixture of bad training, probably bad treatment, stress, and a sudden snap that put him over the edge.

In this movie, it’s just plain old rabies. So it’s more like Cujo with a chimp instead.

And well, that’s about it. I mean I could go into more detail, but there’s not too much point. You’re watching this mainly to see a chimp kill people. It sort of gets going fairly quickly with the murderous ape action. The chimp gets rabies from a mongoose bite and steadily goes more insane and violent. He starts also looking a lot nastier as well. He rips a dude’s face off, rips another’s jaw off, beats some women to death, etc.

Probably could’ve at least used one groin attack, given that is definitely one of the main areas chimps target when they attack besides the face.

There are a few nods to other horror movies, specifically Halloween as there’s a very John Carpenter style synth music at one point during the chimp out. He even bashes down a flimsy closet door (with those slats) at one point like Michael Myers did in Halloween.

Anyway that’s about it. If you’re interested in seeing a chimp kill people well this is the movie that has that in abundance and it’s cool enough for a watch.

It’s no WARCHIMP though.

Honestly I'd forgotten what it was about. Wasn't really a favorite of mine though I get why others liked it.

Cool. Let us know if the surgery went well and what new wacky pronoun to call you when you return.
