Whamadoodles Online

Remus Shepherd:

'''Whamadoodles Online''' is the common name of a parody created by [[Remus Shepherd]] for the now-defunct gaming website SlowNewsDay.net (previously LumtheMad.net) The actual title of the parody was '''The Game Producers'''. It roughly followed the plot of the movie/musical ''[[Wikipedia:The Producers|The Producers]]'', in that two game producers decide to create an abyssmally bad game in order to profit from its failure. The game they produced was called Whamadoodles Online, which they introduced as having 'character concept art by [[Doug Winger]], who is generally credited with coining the term [[whamadoodle]]s'.

In the parody, Whamadoodles Online was a hypersexualized game about hermaphrodites fighting against a dominion of tyrannical nazi heterosexuals. Fake screenshots of the game were created by photoshopping Winger's artwork into screenshots from real [[Wikipedia:MMORPG|Massively-Multiplayer Online Games]], and were displayed as part of mocked-up reviews from gaming sites. It was primarily a parody of [[Wikipedia:Anarchy Online|Anarchy Online]] and [[Wikipedia:World War II Online|WWII Online]], with a few jabs at other popular games of the day.

Doug Winger was not asked for permission to use his artwork, however he graciously provided it after the fact with the stipulation that he could have his jaguar lawyers maul Remus at some unspecified point in the future.

More than five years after the parody was created, The Game Producers is being hosted at http://gasbandit.batcave.net/Whamadoodles/gameprd1.html

Did Steve Gallacci actually say that? What a creep! [[User:66.72.39.82|66.72.39.82]] 20:03, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

:Hmm, we might want to try and verify that, actually. Any takers? --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 20:40, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

:::I've tried to find the original post in alt.fan.furry, but I can't. Google gets its old articles from the DejaNews archive, which suffered an error that caused the loss of most Usenet posts from 1995. (Look at the archived post counts [http://groups.google.com/group/alt.fan.furry/about here].) I'm afraid it's going to remain unverified unless Gallacci owns up to it, and if that means it needs to be removed from my info then go ahead and do that, I won't mind. And don't get upset with Gallacci for this event. I'm a zoophile, furry fandom was out for zoo blood in those days, and other people have said worse things to me. --[[User:Remus Shepherd]]

More then five years after the parody was created, The Game Producers is being passed around as a zip file but is no longer hosted anywhere on the internet to which it can be linked.
