stellarwindPick 20 movies/anime/video games/comic books/literary works/television series and put their summaries from Better Than It Sounds and WITHOUT CHEATING have your friends guess.
This was a bitch to do because apparently most of my fandoms are too obscure for TVTropes! ><
1. Boy named after a mouse helps locals improve their drug-filled sandpit, despite unfriendly wildlife. The government disapproves. - Dune (Guessed by Katsu)
2. The powers that be are total jackasses. That seems to be the theme in this series.
3. Man hacks a computer in exchange for an operation. Six months later, he goes on a rampage, killing every moving thing he sees. - System Shock (Guessed by Whitefangedwolf)
4. Pirates steal the girl's pet. She goes on a rampage to get it back.
5. A war hero, a cynical Russian, a police chief named after an Italian revolutionary and a bunch of others start a revolution and fight the ultimate evil only to realize it's not so simple...
6. An enlightened old man, a young up-and-coming commander who refuses all promotions, an attractive female doctor (except for that year with the shrewish female doctor), and an android go where no one has gone before. They usually would rather not. - Star Trek: The Next Generation (Guessed by demonoflight)
7. An entomologist, a former stripper, a gambling addict, and a group of nerds and geeks perform obscure activities in a lab to musical accompaniment. They Fight Crime. - CSI: Crime Scene Investigations (Guessed by Katsu)
8. Ordinary man from an ordinary planet (which has recently been torn down) goes galaxy- and dimension-hopping with a hot scientist, a perpetually unhappy robot, an alcoholic daredevil, and a narcissist with two heads and three arms. - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Guessed by TBA)
9. The chase is on to track down a boy and his Humongous Mecha-in-a-box.
10. The only thing stopping Giant Robot Cthulhu from turning us all into cyborg zombies is one Raised By Wolves martial artist and his shining fingers. - G Gundam (Guessed by Katie)
11. Historical samurai do almost nothing they did in real history and fight obvious evil and each other with the power of Engrish, large hams and the Rule Of Cool. - Devil Kings/Sengoku Basara (Guessed by Katsu)
12. A group of teens trade insults over IM and play an online Alternate Reality Game. - MS Paint Adventures: Homestuck (Guessed by Dwayna)
13. It's like 1984, except the world can only be saved by a disgruntled 18-year-old art student who really hates her dad. She accomplishes this by befriending a creepy, old Mexican man with whom all of her friends think she is having intimate relations.
14. A heavily tattooed kung-fu Dalai Lama, his Eskimo pals, a blind Chinese loli of mass destruction and some animals that don't exist (but should) take on an army of arsonists who wear giant shoulderpads. - Avatar: The Last Airbender (Guessed by demonoflight)
15. Transforming Mecha become cyborgs because their fuel source is poison to them, reenact historical events on an alien world while Sufficiently Advanced Aliens get pissed that they're ruining their petri dish. - Transformers: Beast Wars (Guessed by demonoflight)
16. An amnesiac rebels against her former employers, one of whom is a clown. - Final Fantasy VI (Guessed by TBA)
17. A callow orphan joins a princess leading a resistance against an evil empire. They're joined by a rougish pilot/pirate and his tall, furry partner. A guy in full, black body armor gets in the way a lot. There's twins and daddy issues, but no R2-D2. - Final Fantasy XII (Guessed by Whitefangedwolf)
18. For dead people, fashion is incredibly Serious Business. They overcome difficulties and learn to love. And kill people with Myspace Flare. - The World Ends With You (Guessed by TBA)
19. A giant evil brain turns a bitch into an even bigger bitch and entices two warring empires to unite and try to kill her. They fail miserably. Korea loves it. - StarCraft (Guessed by Keleri)
20. Seven unrelated heroes all fight the same boss they all already killed before. - Live-A-Live (Guessed by TBA)
