1001 Bad Plot Hooks

[flabort]

Yes, 261 was ToS2, or "A New World".
No one brave enough to try 259/260?
(Hint: The ninth in the main series, from which 260 sprang, "Just" came out, also for DS)
I'm going to guess and agree with Kris Strife on 265-275.
For 263... Oh, famous greek myth. Adventures of... Ortheus? No... He had a boat, right?
For 264... yeah, I've got nothing.

276. Your electricity has gone out.
All you've got for entertainment is a Starwars Special Edition Risk Game, a Simpsons Special Edition Monopoly game, and a few lego figures. What do you do?
(No reference here, don't even try)

277. You find yourself cursed by a wizard, and able to drop randomly shaped objects from the sky, that will either raise up hills, carve valleys, or fill the valleys with water. Don't let too much water leave the acre of land you own, or the local neighborhood beautification council will sue, or maybe assassinate you, for flooding the local neighborhood itself.
(N64 reference)

278. You've become an apprentice to your late father's worst enemy, a high level cleric. He's hiding you from his master, an even higher level cleric (or perhaps ur-priest), and using you to overthrow him. Figure out just who's side you're on.
(wii)

279. You've moved into your late grandfather's, and senile grandmother's house, only to discover the windows covered in salt, cupboards full of honey and crackers, and a ring of mushrooms around the house. You also find a dumbwaiter full of odds and ends, and one of you woke up to find your hair tied painfully to each of the bars in your head rest. Another of you found a strange book, too. What do you do?
(movie)

263: That is a movie

Also Rangers for a yes, all the original stuff leading up to Dino Thunder.

[Kris Strife]

263 is Spirited Away.

[Vknight]

[flabort]

Still no-one willing to guess what 259, 260, 277, 278, or 279 all reference? Anyone?
Alright, another hint for 260:
Duh na Na dee dee Doo, doo DOO! Doo do doooooo do, doo, doo doo Dee doo doooooo. Bah dah doo Doo Doo doo DOO, doo Doo do DOOOOO, do do dee do doooo...
You know what? the odds you can make heads or tails of Doos and Dees are almost nill. Come on. "D***** Q**** H*****: *****t ****e". Giant tanks. please?
278 should be obvious from previous references to high level clerics. Got a response via PM. TheCountAlucard gets a cookie for correctly guessing the force unleashed.

[Velaryon]

296 is Mega Man, but I don't know any of the other ones in that post.

Here are some plot hooks of my own*:

*Not really my own, obviously.


302. You are a former member of a gang of bandits, but quit that life to take up an honest one and start a family. But now a crooked city guardsman has kidnapped your family, and uses them to force you to hunt down your former partners in crime.

303. Your group are mercenaries, arriving from another land to seek your fortune. Local legends tell of an ancient civilization which possessed terrible powers, and left behind powerful magical artifacts that would bring immense wealth and power to those who can find them. But these artifacts are stored in a carefully hidden vault, which can only be opened for a brief time once every couple hundred years. Can you locate this storehouse before it's too late, and claim its contents for yourself (or the highest bidder)?

304. You are a famous adventurer, who slew a powerful tyrant that was threatening the land. But during that battle, the tyrant cursed you. Now you have learned that the only way to break the curse is to resurrect the evil tyrant that you defeated, and destroy him once and for all. The catch? His body was separated into pieces and hidden by his evil servants. You will have to find them one by one, combine them, and restore your hated enemy to life in order to destroy him again.

[flabort]

I also think 296 is megaman.
is 293... sub machine?
304... I dunno, but sounds awesome.
295 is Mortal Kombat?

305. Apparently, the local coffee shop is running a contest. Prizes are hidden inside the cups. One of the prizes is a Large Mindless Warforged, capable of following all you directions. Use divinations and other magics to find this grand prize.

[Cartigan]

295 is every tournament fighting game and Twisted Metal game ever.

293 is Myst, or I am thoroughly confused.

I want to say 292 is System Shock II.

High Five!!

288: You must live within the world surving against crabs, owls, and other dangerous creatures. Oh did I forget to mention your all mice?

They already have that RPG.

[Terumitsu]

291: ??? (Probably wasn't that famous. Atlus made this)

292: System Shock 2

293: Myst

294: ??? (This one is just old)

295: Pretty much every tournament fighting game ever.

296: Mega Man

Also, I think 303 is Borderlands and 304 is Castlevania: Curse of Dracula

[The-Mage-King]

No one will guess what 301 is? Really?

[Cartigan]

No one will guess what 301 is? Really?

Not the slightest idea.

[flabort]

No one will guess what 301 is? Really?

Nothing rings a bell.
Trauma... Godhood...... genocide......... devoted............ reasources...............
Silverclawshift archives, crystal cantrips comes pretty **** close, but... no.

[The Glyphstone]

My guess was one of the older Final Fantasy games, but I don't know enough to tell them apart.

[Velaryon]

Also, I think 303 is Borderlands and 304 is Castlevania: Curse of Dracula

Borderlands is correct. And 304 is Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest (Dracula's Curse is actually the prequel for some reason), but that's close enough.

[Yukitsu]

Nothing rings a bell.
Trauma... Godhood...... genocide......... devoted............ reasources...............
Silverclawshift archives, crystal cantrips comes pretty **** close, but... no.

NGE, you uncultured counter Otaku.

[The-Mage-King]

NGE, you uncultured counter Otaku.

We have a winner!

[Terumitsu]

For 301, I get vibes of Final Fantasy 7, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Xenogears but none of them really fit for various reasons.

....Yeah, I've got nothing.

Hint maybe?

Ninja'd

Wait, it was NGE? Must not have been paying all that much attention, then.
