telltale haikus!

[HieroHero]

5-7-5 syllables..three lines that dont rhyme..sumthin to do while waiting for game announcements..write a haiku!!

[HieroHero]

gaming industry
rebirth of adventure tales
told for the masses

[misanthrope]

Telltale is the one
savior of adventure
please save Sam and Max

[Steve2000]

Adventure games rock
Telltale rescued us from death,
Or a fate worse than

[Heatherlee]

Great friends of telltale
Your haikus bring happiness
As do glazed donuts.

[misanthrope]

holy ring of dough
twenty heart attacks
begin to have another

[artwking]

Succulent Round Dough
O Eternal Hole-y Bliss
Frosting Sprinkles Glaze

[guybrushguy]

cheese is good
i like to eat it
gives me diareah

[HieroHero]

raises an eyebrow
then stares at me freakishly
that blinking bastard!

[SCUMM_master]

cheese is good
i like to eat it
gives me diareah

Hmmm, I didn't know what a haiku was, so I had to check :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku

Therfore, if I got it right Guybrushguy, we might say :

Cheese is really good
I like to eat lots of it
gives me diareah

Now, I let the specialists of japanese poetry correct me if I am wrong...


Adventure gaming :
Telltale is our only hope
I can't wait longer

[misanthrope]

products coming soon
i cannot wait anymore
i jump off the roof

[Burn]

Brenden gone missing
While Dan scratches his head
Heather knows why.

[Dancon]

Wait Jump Not
Information Soon Come
Speak early foot taste bad

[misanthrope]

fret not daniel san
it is ok if i jump
i have trampoline

[Steve2000]

Information soon?
Does that mean like 5 days or,
more like 5 months... <sob>

[HieroHero]

patience is the key
lawyers hold the lock of hope
evil minds control us all

[Metallus]

Uh, these are kind of verses of one thing.

Some False Promises,
Leave lumps in throat, but can't blame:
S'Hard to Stay a Fan.

[Burn]

I call this one The call of the Noob

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL STUF U's LOLOLLOLOLOLO)OLOOOLOOLOLOLO ;) ;) :/ /: LOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLL :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) U SUX U nOObS LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOl

Now I now what your thinking , " Wait a tick, I'll be gosh diddily darned if that's a Haiku", But if anyone thinks I'm actualy going to put time into righting half a dozen Haikus, they've has overestimated my patience. LOLOLOLOLOLOL

[artwking]

Someone get that guy
a copy of Telltale's game
EMERGENCY! NOW!!

[apignarb]

Urgent: Adventure.
He visits unannounced.
Apignarb happy.

[misanthrope]

park in the driveway
and you drive on the parkway
what is up with that

[Metallus]

Clawing the Dashboard,
Screaming Like a Cheerleader;
Surf the Highway, Max.

[Steve2000]

"How appropriate..."
Young Guybrush Threepwood once said,
"You fight like a cow."

[Burn]

Have you ever heard a
thing like this, ear screeching
bone rattling power

Yeah, I know It's not relevant to anything.

A Cold keyboard here,
as my clotted fingers freeze,
Just another late night.

[artwking]

I didn't write these, but here are a bunch of computer-related haiku's found on this site (http://www.funny2.com/haiku.htm).
Think of them as calming replacements for Windows error messages ;).
These are some of my favorites:

A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.

Windows NT crashed.
I am the blue screen of death.
No one hears your screams.

The web site you seek
Cannot be located but
Countless more exist.

Three things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.

Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
But we never will.

[oldbushie]

See Billy Bob run.
Quick, Billy Bob, cross the road!
Billy no see truck...

[misanthrope]

forrest gump would say
life is like box of chocolate
he is retarted

[HieroHero]

was thirteen years ago
the fans flame still flickering
now its rewarded

[Haggis]

The Bone cousins three
get along with each other
like rubber and glue

Freelance Policemen
fighting crime and each other
for the telephone

[HieroHero]

chaos and mayhem
its violence and destruction
sam and max are back

[Jake]

this thread sure is old
back from before there was news
enthusiasm!

[Squinky]

Inspired by forum thread titles...

max needs to be more
furry and less plasticky
or so say the fans

only two hours?!
i pray this is a mistake
does god even care?

voices in trailer
will never be quite the same
as those in my head

[HieroHero]

the wait is over
culture shocked by sam and max
screw you lucasarts!

[jannar85]

There's no time on 'the other side
I'm already playing
*episode 3

* = Referring to Sam & Max.

Another one:
No pencil
or sheet to write on - but still
a haiku poem

[Oilers99]

"Buy Bone game" I'm told
The wait for new ones is long
Reading is quicker

Basically my reasoning for avoiding purchasing Bone.

Dog and Bunny back
Psychotic they still remain
I've no credit card

The truth hurts. I'll try to find a work-around.

"Something new" I shout
What's with all the angry glares?
They like the old way

I'm suggesting evolution, not revolution, really.

"Let's destroy" says Max
"Thirteen years since our last game
We're long overdue"

Just a quick tribute the the unflappable, marketable, spendifable Max.

[Haggis]

There's rain on the streets
Cats meow in the distance
This is our city

(Sam and Max talking about their beautiful, film-noirish home)

[Hero1]

three episodes down
And Telltale has been game tapped
fifteen days to bitch

[Jake]

i dont understand
that haiku was hard to get
a little help please?

[Haggis]

I think Hero1
means many will complain till
the worldwide release

[Hero1]

sorry it was dense
I love my cryptic haikus
haggis was correct

[numble]

Is it possible?
For insult Haiku fighting?
(In a game, I mean.)

[ShaggE]

Haikus are quite tough
But I couldn't resist it
I had to make one

[Jake]

sorry it was dense
I love my cryptic haikus
haggis was correct

oh i get it now
the exclusivity thing
yeah, what can you do?

[Derwin]

Telltale, I love thee;
My attention, only yours.
Oh, look, shiny things!

[Haggis]

oh i get it now
the exclusivity thing
yeah, what can you do?
You could bang your head
against walls, frustrated, or
take up a hobby

[Jake]

You could bang your head
against walls, frustrated, or
take up a hobby

three sentences please
not one big one split in three
that's just not good form

[Haggis]

I am sorry, Jake
I won't do it any more
Lest I feel stupid

[Jake]

now, my friend, you die.
i will tolerate no more...
...of your insolence

¬ ¬

[Oilers99]

Jake's hypocrisy
Seemed strangely intentional
Does he have humour?

[ShaggE]

Jake's jokes make me laugh
You crack me up, li'l buddy
Truly funny stuff

[Hero1]

sick of waiting now
wheres next sam and max comic
steve please leave pixar

[numble]

steve, dont leave pixar
how bout a pixar movie
starring sam and max?

[Hero1]

oh warping young minds!
subversive entertainment
Max kills nemo with 9

[Oilers99]

sick of waiting now
wheres next sam and max comic
steve please leave pixar

Pixar is better
Than a Sam and Max comic
Cause dude, it's 3D!

[Hero1]

where is season two
it still has not been confirmed
i know its coming

[Derwin]

where is season two
it still has not been confirmed
i know its coming

Oh look, here it is!
It was underneath the couch.
Misplaced... or was it?

[Harald B]

Nice thread revival.
Why did I pass the first time?
Does it matter? No.

[Harald B]

About that nice sig,
my observation is this:
it works as haiku.

Sam: random comment
Max: irreverent reply
Sam: you crack me up

[ShaggE]

Wow, I am surprised
That you found a haiku there
Pretty nifty stuff

[Haggis]

Let me ask you this
Wanna rub my unicorn?
Just say yes or no

[Harald B]

"Please don't feed the sub."
What can you feed one, do tell
Nothing, can't you read?

[Badwolf]

The ship sets sail soon
I wonder what's for dinner
Great. I'll grab my stuff.

Anyone who knows
What game these quotes were all from
Enlighten us please

[AllenB]

Do not steal the cheese.
Punching glove comes from the sky.
Enter a warped dream.

[Hero1]

back to waiting now
season two one month to go
episodic angst!

[Jake]

wallpapers and crap

they might quell the thirst

[Guybrush Threepwood]

[AllenB]

Going* to E For All
With my Halloween Entry

*(Going can be one syllable, at least the way I say it)

[Hero1]
