"Create your first album" game!

[Rub'Rum]

1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random”
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random

The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to "Random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3

The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days

Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use photoshop, the gimp or similar to put it all together.

PLEASE DON'T CHEAT. I know it's tempting to reload a page until you get something funny, but it kind of ruins it in the long term because none of them stand out, hehe.

My result:

 

[Catharsis]

Okaaay... I got shafted on the picture ever-so-slightly.

 

[Rub'Rum]

That's a pretty awesome pic Catharsis. The sad thing with this game is that a lot of the albums that result from this process are totally believable. At least I think it's kindda sad, hehe.

Good old facebook games.

I'll churn up two or three albums when I get home to Photoshop

 

[Rub'Rum]

Good old facebook games.

It's kind of annoying on Facebook because of the whole mess of tagging that results... In any case, try to make one or two maximum and wait before making more

 

[BananaLee]

Gotta love the Engrish.

And because I didn't like the first one: -

 

[tycoonist]

it looks shockingly like you might find it at virgin megastore...

Oh, this game looks funny. Some of these albums are really believable. Like, they're what pretentious modern bands would do.

Here's mine!

haha, I love the title of yours.

 

[LightFang]

haha, I love the title of yours.

Me too, I thought it was good!

But, did anybody else have to blow the picture up, and then take a screenshot of the page and then crop the picture out with Photoshop (or GIMP, or whatever)? Because when I tried to view the image, I got spaceball.gif.

Yeah I had a similar problem, it's weird.

[Angst]

I tried one.

The picture was terrible though.

 

[Love]

Hah!

 

[Diamondeye]

MS Paint rules. Seriously, how did you get the photo in proper size? Click it?

 

[mythmonster2]

Boy, that was... interesting.

 

[Smartbluma]

Lol here's mine. It's not as good as the other ones though.

 

[choxorn]

Yours is probably the best in the thread so far.

Boy, that was... interesting.

Yeah, a name with parentheses. This will produce some amusing results.

I'll go make one now.

EDIT: I think it produced some amusing results:
