Re-releasing TrulyBored.com
Posted 03-18-2009 at 03:41 PM by veneretio
TrulyBored.com was the home of my original start to the blogging world. It covered my life, acted as my bookmarks for cool flash games I found and was where I wrote any miscellaneous fiction/fantasy that I just felt like writing about. One especially popular project that I never finished back in the day was "The Tournament of Champions" which basically pitted different heroes and villains from various comic and gaming genres against each other.
The readership (lol me, my fellow co-writer and our 20 friends and the 1 or 2 random folk on the net that found the place) would vote in polls each week to determine who won the different match ups.
We threw a twist in it by having it be not quite a popularity contest and instead used the number of votes to determine the range of a random roll. Thus, the more popular did have the better chance, but upsets were possible.
Suffice to say, Robin beat Superman and much hilarity ensued as we struggled with how exactly to write such an outcome. Anyway, Trulybored.com is back with it's focus being solely on continuing the tournament storyline with "The Tournament of Champions 2 - The Awakening". If you're a fantasty/comic book-type, you should check it out and see if it's your kind of thing. (don't be afraid to throw a vote or two out there even if it isn't!)

Raphael is obviously the most powerful. It also just so happens my nickname is Robocop. Rawr.Posted 03-18-2009 at 04:01 PM by Arideni
