Jagex is planning on "putting [Woox16] on a pedestal" for his PVM and bossing fame. Some suspect it may involve creating some sort of ingame reference(s) to him. So, for the heck of it, I decided to make this:


For anyone who doesn't get it, the player "Larryr", who was 2nd to get 99 Runecrafting, has been referenced ingame with the Runecrafting NPC "Larriar", who sells Runecrafting capes. So I took things to the next "logical" level

My Golden Gnomes 2011 entry:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKjInauXImI

It's a 3D animation that took me roughly 169 hours. It has a dark, creepy theme because the idea was originally meant as a Halloween video. Actually, if I'm a finalist, my entry would end up being shown a day or two before Halloween at RuneFest, so that would work out perfectly XD

You can look at the YouTube description for details on how I made it, and the credits.



Also, there's a few little secrets/Easter-eggs/jokes scattered throughout the video. You can feel free to look for them yourself, or just check the spoiler below, where I provide images of all of them:

First, I'll start with something that wasn't really an Easter-egg. It was pretty much just me expressing my artistic license, to help the video work better and look nicer. Specifically, I made all rooms 1.5x the height of a normal POH room, and gave them ceilings with functional lights. I won't cite all the instances in the video where you can see them; instead I'll just provide two pictures:




Next, also not exactly an Easter-egg, but still definitely worth mentioning: the room next to the Parlour. It's an entire custom POH room I designed myself, called the "Living Room". The only part you really get to notice in the video is the bit with the decorative plant and pottery:

You may have also seen a bit of that tall plant when the man starts running:

But that's not all it has, of course! At the center of the room you'll find a large sofa and coffee table:

And more importantly, the television and computer:

Yes, they're fully wireless. You have to restock the law runes every month, but it's a huge convenience!
Oh, and if you're wondering, here's what you would have seen at night, if the camera would have panned that way:


At 0:43, when my character ponders how the cat got mud on his paws, you can see a little mud on the back of his own hand:

The shuddering sound at this point was sort of a cue, since that wasn't totally an Easter-egg.

At 1:46, when the man sees Kitty after waking up, Kitty's mouth is dripping with blood. This wasn't intended to be an Easter-egg, but YouTube felt the need to darken my video, making the blood dripping tough to notice. At any rate, if you watch it closely, you'll see the dripping is kinda in-sync with the music:


At 2:21, you can catch a glimpse of a hellcat in the fireplace, where the pawprints now lead (notice that the old pawprints were gone after he woke up? )


At 2:33 you can see an electronic keypad in the Dining Room:


At 2:37, you may have noticed the book on the lectern was closed. Unfortunately, YouTube quality makes it tough to actually read the title, so here's a stillframe:

Still can't read it?



The Study also contained two other Easter-eggs you could barely see, on the walls. To the left of the door, we see this:

Don't ask why anyone would need to write that down . On the right wall, you could see this:

Don't ask why our protagonist would need to know that piece of information.

Finally, the walls of the Quest Hall were literally plastered with Easter-eggs. The first you could see, as our character runs in, was the map:

Recognize what that is? Click the spoiler to see if you're right!

It's tutorial island. Normally you can put maps in your Quest Hall for completing many quests. I guess the tutorial was among the only quests this guy did :-P

On the left of the screen (from our character's perspective), we find that he apparently has not completed Demon Slayer, and instead mounted his next best sword.

You can also see a nice, calm painting south of Falador, in the old days...
On the opposite side of the wall from the sword, we find that he can't even afford an Amulet of Glory. But what reason would you have to mount an Amulet of Accuracy?

Oh yeah, and that portrait is of my character. Hooray for author-insertion

[Kittyhawk]

It shouldn't need much explaining if you're familiar with the appearance of the old woodcutting bots, and the new Completionist Cape (which casts a spell on you and pushes you away if you try to take it without meeting all the requirements).

You may find out a little of how I made it in the YouTube description.

[WolfieMario]

Thank you for this

In my opinion, phoenix_x19 deserves a tribute as well, despite not having faked in a while. Hopefully you guys still have access to a backup with phoenix's old topics? He's made some of my favorite fakes, such as the coke+mentos one

Also, if possible, get somebody to re-instate the emoticon

Thanks, again.

[Kittyhawk]

I do have plans to do this for a few people, so any suggestions of people to look for are appreciated.

[Super Fly]

This is epic!

[Erik]

What a compilation

Wolfie is epic ;D

Guitarguy's gallery.

Guitarguy's gallery.

Have you seen his CYOA's yet?

[Greg]

Have you seen his CYOA's yet?

Not for a while, I used to though, when they were just starting out. Wolfie + Guitarguy.

[Guitarguy]

Maybe it's just me, but the youtube link in the first post is broken .

Anyway, a wonderful gallery, of course.

[Kittyhawk]

It isn't just you, I couldn't get it to fix.

[Guitarguy]

Was it to his channel? Or to one of his Youtube fakes? Because I can provide the channel link if you don't have it.

[Kittyhawk]

I'm fairly sure it was one of the latest things he had posted.

[Guitarguy]

Ah, must've been this:

EDIT: Why are there url tags around my link but they don't actually do anything? o-o

EDIT2: Another set of them appears with each edit .

You just need to become an established member I think. A few more posts should do the trick.

Thanks, it works now as a link.

[Guitarguy]

Oh, that's an effective way to go about things, I suppose .

No problem.

[Triquos]

Awesome fakes I like the self portrait in the POH. Wish we had those in Runescape

[McSwindler]

I remember on the old forums spending hours lookin at Wolfie's fakes. Great work
