I used to have the old Roller Coaster Tycoon game, and there were plenty ways to kill and maim, but I don't recall the bowling thing. That's pretty good. Couldn't do that with the first version cuz the coaster cars would explode in mid air before they hit the ground.

I vaguely remember in one of them you could seal the gates somehow and fill the place with water. After filling it with 'tycoon fodder' first, naturally, heh.... I was hoping for little animated bubbles that would go.*pop*"Help!" but no....

That same author's twisted sense of humor is also on display in a series of comic strips called "DM of the Rings". Start here and go forward.

Heh, that was worth a chuckle. (And god how it reminded me why I can't fucking stand TMBG.)

at the risk of politicizing a harmless thread. . . reminds me of the Bush Economy. Plenty of balloons to go around still, though.

Yeah, that was pretty funny. I was hoping for a 2nd angle of the mow-down, but still pretty good.

Oh that was worth a little chuckle. I was reminded how much I liked this: Johnny was a chemist's son, but Johnny is no more. What Johnny thought was H2O was H2SO4

Heh. Will have to show my sig other this. She loves RT but hasn't tried the third one yet. (but you know, she's silly, preferring to create safe rides)

This is going to get me addicted to Roller Coaster Tycoon again. Plus I was amazed to find many other twisted RCT videos on the Tube. Good times.

Was I the only one expecting a video of some actual guys throwing a bowling ball from a rollercoaster?

The TMBG song was the perfect soundtrack choice.

I hoped the post was going to be about this cool bowling ball roller-coaster.

dreamsign writes "She loves RT but hasn't tried the third one yet. " Uh, there is no third one yet. RCT3 is still a pipe dream, AFAIK.
