Future Corporia, and Most Flopular 5

I’ve started gathering ideas for the next two Corporia RPG supplements! The first will be a character companion to finish off all of the promised Kickstarter rewards, and the second will be a ‘caster’s companion to provide some more magical options. Or maybe I should combine the two – what do you think?

On a side note, here’s a couple of unintentionally funny Huffington Post ‘Most Popular’ story combos. As usual, placement of text and images is unaltered, only cropped from the website.

And so is the Dread Dormammu.

It’s the hat.

 

Most Flopular 4: Politicking

I wasn’t really planning to keep blogging these, but the Huffington Post website keeps making me laugh with its unintentionally funny placement of text and images from their ‘Most Popular’ news stories. Here’s what made me laugh today:

Indeed he does!

Indeed he does!

Yeah, I can believe that.

Yeah, I can believe that.

Most Flopular: Remixing the HuffPo Story Stream (Parody)

No Corporia RPG news today. Instead, as Monty Python would say, “And now for something completely different!”

If you’re a frequent visitor to the Huffington Post website, you’ve seen their ‘Most flopular00Popular’ news stories posted in a column on the right side of the page. It typically looks something like this image here:

Each story in this steam appears as with a title header above an image, with each individual story separated by a dividing line. Of course, if you’re like me and not always paying close attention to exactly where this line is, or if you accidentally scroll to just the right (or wrong) place on your screen, you’ll read the text as a footer rather than a header.

That leads to my brain creating some unexpectedly bizarre or just plain silly news stories, like:

or

Larger images flow similarly, but aren’t as easily misread. Still, if you look at it the right way you get such highlights as:

flopular06

 

flopular08

 

flopular07

And so on. I specifically avoided selecting some of the more socially incorrect items, but I couldn’t resist just this next one. Apparently Brad Pitt holds a secret grudge…
