Good lord. I was DYING in this video. I can't remember the part that set me off, but when you said it, I had to cover my mouth so I didn't wake up the rest of the house.
You know, I have to believe...HAVE to, lest I lose what little faith I have in the intelligence of others...that the story was written by someone not fluent in English. I'm not saying that to defend them; it DOES beg the question of why they'd write in English to begin with. To reach a broader audience? Surely they couldn't have expected the audience to RESPECT that...but the reason I bring it up is that MAYBE in the person's native language, the story might have been passable. For a normal story anyway. But squirrelking clearly didn't even know the names of the various Covenant races or, even more outrageously, the Covenant itself. I heard "The Flood" be mentioned, but everything else was just "the regular aliens." And the Marines were "human guys" for crap's sake. Why write a story about Halo when you clearly know nothing about the game? I have NEVER played the story mode on a Halo game, and I rarely play multiplayer. It's probably been a couple years since I touched it. I know WAY more about the story and races and whatnot than squirrelking does. I mean...if you're gonna write a story set in an existing fictional universe, don't you wanna at least know how that universe works? You can introduce new elements (characters, settings, whatever), but it has to be grounded in what's already there, and that's impossible when you don't freaking know what that stuff is called! *sigh* Maybe it's the writer in me talking, I don't know... The other two stories, for all their faults (and there were many) at least had this basic concept down: base the story around what you know of the characters and worlds you're using. This...I'm not even gonna call it a story. This diarrhea of the imagination broke one of the most fundamental rules of storytelling. If it weren't for Sage's deadpan delivery and knowing winks at the right time to point out the faults and make them funny, I honestly might have cried about this thing.

Alright. I tried. I tried really hard not to burst into laughter. Well; too late. "Fo Tight" did it.
Seriously - does that even qualify as fiction (or any other literary form for that matter)? I mean, it's not even similar to any language conceived by man!
Anyway, as usual, amazing job - looking forward to the next one.
PS: According to Fanfic.net, the author is [b]Canadian[/b].

Awesome story! Wow! That's so freakishly amazing. Now there are few things, that I would fix in there. Small things. Let's see:
1) Grammar. The author should attend at least 3rd grade. If he's not natively speaking english person, he should at least take some basic english lessons. and no, games don't count as "english lesson". Um... "All your base are belong to us", anyone?
2) Dynamics. The characters are all bland and painfully one-dimensional. Nobody has a name or a rank, or whatever (this is military, right?) The author shouldn't let lose with the names, like Rumiko Takahashi, where she had to name EVERYTHING, but calling everyone "another human person..." Well...
3) Plot. That's it. Just... Plot...
4) Wait, what? *headbangs*
Somehow, in the middle of the story I was kinda expecting, that the Chief (whatever the hell that could be), would shout "I am a MAN!" and beat the crap out of the aliens...
Other than that, it was made out of sheer awesome :D

03.12.2009 - 02:00 | RelickUgh...this is a perfect example of someone who should not write and post the results on the internet. God, this was painful. At least Until the End of Time was a well written story with a strange premise. But THIS, this is just a sad, sad, sorry excuse for a fanfic. What was he trying to tell? What was even happening here?
My inner editor is sobbing now.
-
Oh God... that grammar was horrific... and the sad thing is, I have a player in one of my RPs on a RolePlaying Forum who writes like this. But at least he has an excuse, being swedish and all. I actually have to fall in with charlotte here in believing that Squirrelking is mentally ill in some way or another.

[quote=Linkara]...He swung his arm really, really, really fast (you couldn't see it because it's a blur), he punched the alien, and the alien exploded?
...that's a hell of a punch. O_o[/quote]
Yeah. I don't even think the Flash can do that at superspeed. Can he?
Anyway, so many grammar mistakes. Grammar nazis must be arriving at his house with giant number two pencils used as spears. Yeah. This fic sucks.
Like everyone else said. It's just wrong.
-
I'm sorry, while I tried to enjoy the story, your enormous man boobs kept distracting me. Can you wear a bro for your next installment?

03.12.2009 - 03:28 | kittkitan.....does anyone have brain-cleanser?!
ok...where do i begin this thing...well it was...unique, it was very different from other fanfics i know of, for it lacked...spelling(hint: F7 is the spell checker most of the time), grammer (again, F7, its a useful button), and well...KNOWLEDGE OF THE DAM SERIES!! its called a fan fic, cause Fans write them, and a fan is some one who is FANATIC about something, so...yeh...whatever, this ear sodomy is over so now i am going to drink, a lot

I'm going to be a party pooper and complain.
Yes, this was funny... but far from as funny as the previous episodes simply because I found the whole fanfic to be [i]too[/i] awful.
I think the reason is that anyone can write a truly terrible story with awful grammar and structure at some point of their lives.
It's just so much more absurd when someone has decent writing skills and not only uses it to write [i]fanfiction[/i] out of all things, but fanfiction crossovers about the AVGN and the Nostalgia Critic having sex.
Anyway, just throwing in my two cents here. Keep up the good work. :)

Sage, this is by far the best series you've done, all these fanfics are hilarious! :woohoo:
I hope Joe Cheif and all the human guys made it out ok.

03.12.2009 - 05:37 | JMShearerI've always wondered where, exactly, stories like this one come from. There must be another dimension or something. Or, it could just be, as other people have suggested, that for some combination of reasons, authors like squirrelking just don't have anything like a firm grasp on proper use of written English.
I say this because I've known more than a few fanfic authors in my time, and have been one myself since high school. Even when we were intentionally writing badly, our worst was better than that. With that in mind, allow me to recommend my own works hosted on ff.net: http:// www.fanfiction.net/ ~jesseshearer , with special notes on *Red Green Meets The Warners*, *Red Green Meets Mummies Alive!*, *Grand Theft Ham-Ham*, and *Aqua Teen Hunger Force: PokeMix*, which has actually stirred the biggest response I've ever gotten out of a fanfic.
Anyway, pure brilliance as always, good sir! I look forward to more!

03.12.2009 - 06:38 | PanzermanathodI generally chalk up his fanfics to be for the lulz. There's too many similar themes and gags ("Wepon", the main character's brother) for me to think that this was a joke fanfic rather than a real one.
It's still funny, though.
