[I'm in]

Despite my utter lack of drawing skill, I'm in.

I notice you didn't forbid jokes about LSD, Weird Dreams, Cocoron, or any of a number of obscure dream-themed games.

Great job, Farbs, cactus, and Farmergnome, and everyone else who entered! You guys all rock!

[Infinite Nazi on Wheels]

The Nazis have developed a new, infinite superweapon... a superweapon... ON WHEELS! Only you, a psychic Indian head mounted on a blue jetpack, can stop it. (Well, actually it goes on forever and cannot be stopped, nor slowed down. Oh well.)

Enjoy, everybody.

(Note: I was only able to test this on two computers. It probably requires a fairly fast PC.)

Okay, using FileFront. Thanks for the help, guys.

Wow, this looks amazing. I like the look of Crazyland, plus, those jester-skeleton-thingies look just badass.

More pics plz?

There isn't much to a plot on this one. The Nazis have created a new superweapon, and only an Indian head with physic powers mounted on a jetpack can stop it!

(Well, actually, not even he can stop it, since the superweapon in question goes on infinitely. Like a very long train. Can't even slow it down really. Oh well.)

Here is the current demo. Use WASD to move, mouse to aim, and left mouse to shoot. Please tell me of any glitches found or any suggestions you might have.

Thanks for the positive feedback and help with hosting. 

Here's my entry:

The story:
In the not too distant future, America has been reduced to desert-like wastelands by a nuclear war. Although nearly abandoned, the country is home to small, remote villages throughout the expansive deserts. After weeks of travelling, you arrive at a spot in a mountain where you can make a small outpost - but you will not spend much of your time there. Oh no. You will be out raiding the caravans shipping supplies to far-off villages, the armoured vehicles, and basically everything that gets too close!

You are the

Black Afro Raider

That was a mockshot right there. The actual game will probably not contain much of the things depicted.

It's quite likely I won't finish this, so don't get your hopes up. Oh, you haven't? Good.

By the way, it says "beginning to end" in the rules. Does that mean it has to have a concrete ending besides "death"? I was hoping mine could be a bit more open-ended, but if not, I'll think up some way to concretely end it.

Oh God, there are just too many! Some of my favourites:
The Sims: Shadow City
Incomprehensible Afro Troopers
Infinite Nazi on Wheels
Disturbing City of Mystery
Excruciating Banana - The Dark Project
Psychedelic Indian in the Desert (Sort of ominous with my name)
Everybody Loves the Squirrel Choreographer
Neo 3D 1942
First-Person Kung Fu King (Now THIS... I want to play.)
American Lawnmower Uprising (Just think. Platforming around... huge lawnmower comes rushing in just like that damn car from SeizureDome... lawnmower made of four small lawnmowers!!)
Insane Zamboni Rangers (Oh dear.)

Now, normally I'm no good at coding or spriting. And this won't change that.
But anyways - I am entering this contest.

Now in Theaters.

By the way - "Italian Plumber Legend". Hmmmm.
"African Sword Boy" - This is, like, the only one that makes any sense.
"Emo Ninja - Limited Edition" - I'm seriously considering to never look at the VGNG because every time I see something, I get a perfect mental image and want to make it. It's serious - my mind breaks every time I think to myself that I can't use that one.
"Virtual Worm Rampage" - Death Worm ripoff.
"Masters of Sex Trilogy" - This almost sounds serious.
"Kirby's Acid Knights"
Whenever I see these, I usually think of some ridiculous backstory that often involves copious amounts of sanity and evil. I even wrote a huge plotline for some ludicrous thing like Bazooka Master Castle, explaining that the titular Bazooka Master is a misunderstood pacifist made out to be violent by the surrounding countryside, forcing him to stay far within his castle, brooding about the nature of pacifism and violence. As the game went on, you wandered around the castle fighting demons from his past and present with a really big bazooka. I realized how pretentious the plot was and how unlikely it was I could code it. Anybody else feel free to use that castle-demons-bazooka bit though - I like that bit and would really like to see it done justice.

Woah, this looks cool. It's a text-based action game? Neat. It's like, the enemies are invisible, so graphics wouldn't help. And I love that daisies comment.

Welp, awaiting this one!

Ohhhh. Too underage. Plus, I'm not even certain what the GDC is or where it might take place, but the fact that I'm going to miss it depresses me greatly. I can just imagine people over there... having a good time... having a legitimate reason to wear monocles. Envy, depression, tears abound.

So, er, what's the GDC?

[Okay, then Nefarious Overlord Yu. Maximum Chlorine-Drinking Nefarious Overlord Yu.]

...You should call him Nefarious Overlord Yu. (N.O. Yu)

...XKCD!
Correct, Durruti. 25 bonus points!

[Mister Getts]

Hey everyone.

I've been following the indie scene for a year or so, and I found this site a few months ago. I "join[ed] the bloody forums already" like Derek said to (uh, can I call him Derek? Or do I have to call him Supreme Overlord Yu?), so now... now I'm able to post pointless things like this. I hope you're happy, S.O. Yu.

I have yet to release any games, but I'm always starting and never finishing them.
Making them, I mean. Well, I rarely finish any games I play either.

A final word: This whole "gentleman" phase hitting TIGSource? Monocles, top hats, gentlemanly mannerisms? I got interested in that whole concept long before you did. A few months. Like, back in October or something. See, I've always wanted to be a lighthouse keeper for many reasons:

1) "Lighthouses are built on interesting places on the coast..."*
2) I'd get to stay cooped up, away from the bustle of normal life and humans.
3) I'd get to be an enigmatic, mysterious person, rarely coming down to the closest town a few miles away.

But nowadays, lighthouse keepers are not needed. Ships don't even need lighthouses anymore. So what should I do? Go back to when they were needed. And, hey, I like Britain, so I'll go there too. Hmm... to emphasize my enigmatic-osity, I'll wear black clothes. I'll be cool and noble... mysteeeerious. Black clothes... top hat, I've always been partial to those... monocle, those things are great... those canes that can unsheath into swords. Short, white beard. Pipe. Quiet, watchful, mild look on face. This is looking pretty good.

Since that time I've aspired to become that figure. I have named him Mister Getts, because I like that name.

So to sum up, you've now got a rambling, somewhat disagreeable poster whose greatest dream is to build a time machine, travel through time to 1800s London, and adopt a new sword-fighting identity named, of all things, Mister Getts posting on your forums.

I hope you're happy.
