OOC - In Game Pop Culture

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Thanks to the fantastically OCD courier_gavin, we have a pop culture list.

However, I realized that people often mention these shows in game and make up meta names for the various characters and we don't have a list of those. (And yes, I realized this because I want Marie to write Vanessa Saturn fanfic in the Writing Workshop and I can't remember the meta names for Logan or Duncan).

At any rate -- Lorelai's going to be teaching a class in the fall where I will actually need this information, so if you could reply here and let me know what meta things you've mentioned in game, it would be a huge help.

ETA: To clarify: I'd like the meta information for any fandoms that have been mentioned in game (I know Nadia watches AKA all the time, etc) so I can make a comprehensive list for my class stuff.

Duncan = Donovan
Logan Echolls = Eric Lohan

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

You are totally my hero today.

Do you remember if any of the other characters have been meta'd?

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

That's all I remember sorry!

These are the tidbits I've been using for Willow's Bitterwoman fanfic:

Howard: Dark-haired Marine, tall, older, Texan, supposedly in love with Cathy Carter/Bitter Woman, muscular, former FBI agent, diabetic in canon, short hair, blue eyes.

Trevor: younger, eager young newspaper reporter, Californian, blonde, Harvard grad, unappreciated for his research efforts, wears brightly-colored shirts, loves baked goods, 5 ft 11 in, brown eyes.

Cathy Carter: Bitter Woman, wears glasses in her canonically secret identity, pet cat Fluffykins. Enemies include Lioness and her Pride of Evil.

YES I AM THIS GEEKY, SHUT UP.

Ahem.

I've also got some made up meta for Gay As Blazes that Angel mentioned in game at some point, but I have to track it down.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

I can't tell if it's sadder that I made a tickler file for this, or that I spent time researching Wonder Woman history so I could get the injokes right. ;)

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

I can't either, but you're my kind of geek.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Awww.

*snuggles*

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

If you made bondage jokes I'd be impressed.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow's working up to that. She's shy.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

But it's not dirty at all! Really! It's just a game!

See? (http://work-magazine.com/blog/wonder_woman.jpg)

Really.

No... Really.

I'm serious.

Stop laughing.

The other day Jack was watching shark movies: Jaws = Mandibles; Deep Blue Sea = Bottomless Cerulean Ocean; Shark Attack 3: Megalodon = Shark Battle 3: Man, That's a Big Shark! That last is one of the worst movies ever made, but it stars John Barrowman (who plays Capt. Jack), so I couldn't resist.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Shark Battle 3: Man, That's a Big Shark!

This movie needs to be made in RL.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

It could be the sequel to Snakes On A Plane.

And by the way... The metta title for

Snakes On A Plane

Should be

Snakes Onna Plane

Because you really can't improve on that title much.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

It is the best title ever. But I think there have been a few Fandom versions thrown around. Snakes on a Transport and Serpents on a Transport come to mind.

And now I sleep and leave this discussion to more coherent people!

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Awwwww man!

*pout*

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Snakes Woman Plane? Wha?

*randomly known japanese fragment headhang of shame*

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

What's Japanese for "head thwap"?

:D

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

I don't know the romanji, but I'm sure I can find the kanji in any given one of my Negima! books. ^_^

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

I'm sure in katakana it'd be something along the lines of "he-a-do su-wa-po" or something equally stupid looking :P

Though I think translating it directly into Japanese wouldn't work-- 'head' would be 'atama', but I doubt 'thwap' has a direct translation, unless we go for sound effects in Japanese. Then lord knows what sort of bastardizing we'd be doing to the language.

*is finished being language-retarded*

Wormhole X-Treme

Colonel Danning (Jack O'Neill), Major Stacy Monroe (Sam Carter), Dr. Levant (Daniel Jackson) and Grell (Teal'c) all taken from the Stargate episode :)

IG, I think there have been references to General Haymarket (General Hammond) and Dr. Cramer (Dr. Fraiser)

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Wasn't there mention of the Atlantis-y sequel too? I think Janet mentioned it once, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

There was, yes! *can't remember either omg*

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Found it! Wormhole X-treme: Shangri-La

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

TV Shows:
Immature Radioactive Samurai Slugs (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/673991.html#cutid1) - (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle)

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

I've been struggling to come up with a name for that for months. You win!

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Yay!

I stole it from Tiny Toons.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

I thought it sounded familiar!

*hugs Tiny Toons because they're tiny, they're toony, they're all a little looney*

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Stoker's Dracula is canon as being regarded as fiction in Walter's universe. It's all part of the coverup, though.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Battlestar Galactica = Strifenova Celestial

For Wendy the Werewolf Hunter:

Wendy = Buffy
Violet = Willow
Skye = Tara

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

I can get you the meta information for Abaranger when I get home. I need to rewatch "Lost and Found in Translation" first. Such a hardship, OMG.

*uses icon just for you*

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Awwww... well, since you're so willing to put yourself out like that, I'm sure I can find some way to repay the favor.

Maybe the next time you're needing encouragement for crack or something ;)

*stares at the pretty*

Spooky Things (SPN) about two brothers Dan and Sean Colt (Dean and Sam Winchester)

[nadiathesaint]

I need to check back over the posts for the AKA stuff, but I'm pretty sure it's just Perth Tristow = Sydney Bristow, and Frenchie = Francie. I'm pretty sure that I never gave Nadia's meta counterpart, being Perth's long-lost-fraternal-twin brother, a name, but again, I'll go check.

[nadiathesaint]

Oh, and Rambaldi = Ancient Macedonian Witch Doctor, the evil aunt = the evil uncle in law

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

And lest we forget Space Battles, the epic tale of Duke Starcrawler (Luke Skywalker), his sekrit cousin Leanna and her pirate with a heart of gold Hanno.

But most people watch it for the sparks between Ted Bologna (Obi-Wan Kenobi) and the evil Dark Helmet.

The Staff of Light battles are excellent--the dialogue not so much. And the prequels are crap. ;)

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Mr. What is the meta for Doctor Who.

[multiplez]

Dekaranger is SPD.

Also, I believe we're trying to find a way to work Mighty Capin' Justice Magicians into the game. If we ever manage to do so, it will be the meta of Power Rangers: Mystic Force.

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

*ded*

Conner needs to be there to watch that.

And then he, Bridge, and Z, can all go "OMGWTFCAPES?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Deka characters:

Banban "Ban" Akaza / DekaRed
Hoji Tomasu / DekaBlue
Senichi "Sen-chan" Enari / DekaGreen
Marika "Jasmine" Reimon / DekaYellow
Koume "Umeko" Kodou / DekaPink
Doggy "Boss" Kruger / DekaMaster

Only Jasmine, Sen, and Kruger have been mentioned In-Game, but it's reasonable to assume that the rest of the team would have the same names as they do in the real Deka series.

Also, Abaranger, Dekaranger and the as-yet-unreferenced-but-damnit-we'll-do-it-somehow MCJM are sort of unique in that they're based on the real adventures of the Power Rangers- though the running gag is that the show's writers never actually manage to get things *quite* right.

Z might maybe be hanging out in the common room tonight as I procrastinate on writing my paper...

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Sadly I have a portfolio due tomorrow that I really *can't* procrastinate any longer on, or Bridge'd be there =/

X-Files=Z-Stories I believe with
Mulder=Wolf

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Z-Cases, yep, with Lana = Scully (I think!)

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Oval Office (West Wing)

TJ = CJ
Jack Loman - Josh Lyman

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

JOhn plays Car Larceny Ring (cross between Halo and GTA) on the xbrik Xbox with Ranma and Pink Blonde Elle.


Are there other games/consoles referenced?

[multiplez]

I know we metad Final Fantasy at some point, but heck if I can remember what to.
