Comrade Pants writing for Cracked?

Comrade PantsComrade Pants
edited October 2011 in General Chat
So, as of recent I've been put in a position where I can submit articles to cracked.com and, if they like them enough, they'll publish them. Firstly, I'd like to thank ComradeMortis and everyone else who thought I'd even make it this far.

Second, I'd like to ask you - the Telltale Community - what you think would make a good article. For better or worse, many of you are interesting and witty people and I'm quite sure one or two of you have an idea you'd like to see an article about. Any suggestions?

    You know...something not like. "The Top Five Reasons..something Something Something." Probably an article about something close and dear to you. With Humor.

    If there's a game that you love (or one that you don't), then that might be an option. I wrote a review of Ben There, Dan That! that got published on The Escapist, so it's definitely worth thinking about.

    Another option is to pick a subject you know a lot about. It could be about anything, but if you know about it, then write it. Make sure you get your facts straight, you'd be surprised how many people call you out if you're wrong, but go for it.

    Finally, try and enjoy yourself. And good luck!

    Uh, no. That'd be Lucky Charms. Seriously, MARSHMALLOWS? IN YOUR CEREAL? Genius.

    As you can clearly see, the professor is most pleased with the idea of grinding your charred remains into the next batch.

    ...I'd also like to apologise to Comrade Pants for derailing what was originally a pretty serious thread.

    Maybe I'll just write about people arguing about cereal. That could work, right?

    10 Weird arguments you will find on a internet forum.

    EDIT: Actually that would be a great series for the site.
    Where people can find out what people REALLY talk about! XD

    I feel like trollplay should be involved in any writing he does about internet forums.

    You should write an insider's view of trollplaying as Andrew Ryan. And then a second article about how Andrew Ryan trollplayed as you in real life....Mr. Ryan.

    Weishan says I'm more like the Doctor. You'll have to ask her about that one.

    But you look more like Andrew Ryan wearing his incredibly authentic peg-legged pirate costume.

    You should really read up on the folks you'll soon be working for. Pirate Myths.

    Something along the lines of "The Somethingest Something ever (That Aren't Something)".

    Really, it depends on your interests.

    Uh, as happy as I am for you; I believe that anyone can submit their own articles to Cracked.com and if the site staff likes them enough, then they'll be published. Writing my own article for the site has been on my list of things to do for a while now.

    I had to get approved to the writing forum, but I suppose it is rather less difficult than it would seem from my initial post.

    Here's another one:

    5 reasons why Finches are terrible pets.

    Here I'll list them:

    - Small
    - Ugly (Rubbish colouring, weird little chucky disproportionate bodies, pointy relatively large beaks)
    - Stupid
    - Annoying (their chirps)
    - Prone to death

    (Seriously. Its like Finches just decide one day to be perfectly healthy, then the next day to drop down dead)
