AU where, after the all-stars season flops, the Total Drama network decides to turn its' attention elsewhere for some quick money; gaming. They release a videogame where the player competes in a fictional season of Total Drama with the OG cast, essentially a y/n self-insert fanfiction in videogame form.
To avoid having to pay royalties to the contestants they use fake names and alter the designs of the 'campers' (I'm thinking something like the TRD names i.e. Heather=Heavely, Courtney=Courtlyn ect.) but since Chris is part of the network he remains himself in the game and voices his own lines.
It plays like a dating sim for the most part, with minigames for the 'challenges', and different character events based on who the player interacts with the most. Plus random and scripted plot events. Essentially a choose-your-own-adventure with some key plot points.
The game turns out to be a huge success, especially with superfans like Sierra who love the idea of competing in a season, but since it's made by Total Drama (in universe, I imagine TD is an up-and-coming top brand akin to Disney) it's super buggy/shoddy/unoptimized as they cut production costs to save money.
Since it's so popular, a lot of the actual OG case know about it.
As a canonical gamer, Noah is one of the first to hear about it and despises it on principle. He decides to make a hate-mod for the game out of spite. It makes Chris bald.
He enlists Gwen to help with the visual changes since she's a bit of an artist and more than happy to draw bald Chris. Noah uses his coding abilities to essentially overhaul the games code. Maybe they even ask some of their friends to re-voice some of their counterparts lines.
It becomes the most popular mod in the community, the fans are freaking out because the new voices sound so accurate to the show and the game runs so much better now. But no one knows who made the mod outside of their username, so the creator(s) are anonymous.
At some point someone in the community asks the mod creator why they went through all the effort of reoptimizing the game just to make Chris bald, and Noah replies with a selfie of himself and Gwen flipping the bird to the camera with the caption "Fuck Chris McLean" (or something along those lines with whatever characters you want to imagine involved) and the community goes wild.
#total drama#td noah#td gwen#Chris McLean#just some brainrot over a decades old show#i just really like the potential of a noah&gwen friendship#and also the idea of a 'celebrity' making a hatemod of a game they're in#is really funny to me#I like to think of this as:#Total Drama Simulator AU

Pick of the MIX: Our 10 favourite games from the MIX at E3 2019
The MIX, or the Media Indie Change to make use of its Sunday identify, is all the time one of the highlights of E3 week.
Yes, most people go to E3 for the blockbusters. They delight in the pageantry and the swag, and the bragging rights of enjoying something first. And that’s nice, don’t misunderstand, but after a couple of days of chaos and queueing, it’s good to go someplace somewhat totally different, like Devolver Digital’s parking zone jamboree, or the MIX.
Sadly this yr, the MIX wasn’t immune from queues. After a 20-minute delay in opening, adopted by an interminably sluggish check-in course of (and inexplicable use of just one elevator in a building with 12 of the issues), we didn’t make it upstairs till 7.57 PM. That’s three entire minutes before the “press-only” hour ended, and the doorways opened to every different business customer. Oh properly.
Advertisement
The change in venue modified the event considerably, too. There was enough room to circulate without tripping over energy cables for one factor. Gone too was the specter of by chance falling right into a rooftop swimming pool. There was even an entire section devoted to the Kinda Funny Video games Showcase, including an area for broadcast recording. (You’re all determined to make us really feel previous as we walk around taking notes with pen and paper, aren’t you?)
It wasn’t all for the better. The self-service beer kegs have been gone, as an alternative replaced by a drinks token every. Not that less free-flowing drink is essentially a nasty thing at occasions, however when the venue’s personal bar prices over 20 dollars for 2 drinks, and also you’re there for a number of hours? It makes for some fascinating expense claims. (“YOU PAID HOW MUCH FOR TWO DIET COKES?!”)
But fortunately, crucial component of the MIX – the games, and the fantastic individuals who make them – was unchanged. Probably the greatest bits of this job is with the ability to spend time speaking to creators and developers, and making an attempt out weird new things.
Listed here are a few of our favourites from the MIX at E3 2019.
Autumn’s End
Autumn’s Finish’s visuals are arresting. Watching over somebody’s shoulder, we’re first introduced to Amber, the protagonist in Autumn’s End, as she falls down a flight of stairs. It’s a cheery and charming animation – mixed with bold, virtually papercut-looking artwork – that may’t assist however put a smile in your face.
Later, once we get to take management of Amber (and having also fallen down the stairs) we get to take pleasure in a few of the trivia of her level and click on adventure. We take photographs. We chat with family and friends. We poke round in nooks and crannies. It’s all so nice, with greater than a touch of Night time within the Woods about it. Imagine Mae just earlier than she leaves for school, not the melancholy, somewhat misplaced woman who comes back, and you’ll be in the fitting place for Autumn’s End.
Simply as we’re leaving, the individual manning the bench tells us they’re Sundae Month, the group behind Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor, and we’re much more enthused by Autumn’s Finish. We inform them that they could need to lead with that info in future.
Embr
The elevator pitch for Embr is one thing else. Delivered at machine-gun velocity, it’s each the advertisement for, and phrases and circumstances of, working for Embr as a gig financial system firefighter. You realize these caveats on the finish of a radio business, the place they attempt to read out all of the horrible things which may happen when you buy their product or service, but too shortly for you to absolutely comprehend them? That’s the pitch for Embr in a nutshell, and it’s hilarious.
Here’s a clip of the pitch being delivered at EGX Rezzed:
Thankfully the sport can also be a whole lot of enjoyable to play – although we are terrible at it – nevertheless it’s OK. Nicely, it’s OK for Embr, because: “Embr LLC accepts no duty for damage, dismemberment, or demise ensuing from fires, explosions, electrocution, pure fuel, dehydration, nut allergic reactions, or concussive drive.” Identical to the actual gig financial system, it’s a dystopian nightmare wrapped up in an almost-reasonable-sounding job supply.
Additionally, as we’re leaving, the one that delivered the gross sales pitch tells us they’re from Muse Games, the workforce behind lovable arcade preventing recreation, Hamsterdam. What is with individuals not telling us who they’re or what else they’ve labored on?
Advertisement
Knights and Bikes
Knights and Bikes, however, wants no introduction. Principally, every thing we stated in our preview of the sport from 2017 nonetheless stands, nevertheless it feels extra polished and cohesive than before. Sadly Rex and Moo weren’t round to talk to on this occasion, as we’d really wish to know when Knights and Bikes is scheduled for release, however every thing is shaping up quite properly.
Kunai
Kunai is known as after an historic Japanese device, considered designed as a kind of trowel, however typically used as a weapon in Manga. It consists of a pointed blade hooked up to a deal with with a loop in it; this means it can be swung, thrown, or hooked up to a rope and used as a grapple.
Enjoying as Tabby – a ninja pc fused with the soul of an historic warrior, because it goes – you’ll wield swords, weapons, and more on this action-adventure. However it’s the titular Kunai that convey probably the most excitement and verticality to the sport, dual-wielding them as both weapon and grappling hook, to traverse the setting like a CRT-headed Spider-Man.
Rawmen
We already talked about Rawmen in our piece on the silly physics games that stole the show at E3 2019, however based mostly on the reaction of everyone who saw it on the MIX, it’s going to be extremely popular. Half Splatoon, half Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater, Rawmen is a disgusting nude multiplayer melee that absolutely wouldn’t get a great meals security inspection score.
It’s gross, however in a very, actually fun approach.
Roboco
Roboco is a recreation designed with schooling in mind, however with the potential for a lot more than that. Ostensibly a educating recreation about physics and programming – you construct a robot out of a set of elements, then feed it some rudimentary instructions to complete a activity – the result of Roboco is usually extra enjoyable than the lesson discovered on the best way, as terrible, awful, no good robots go on a rampage making an attempt to carry out mundane duties.
Simple tasks that you simply in all probability wouldn’t belief a DIY robot with, like looking after infants, for example. It’s principally the video game equivalent of this YouTube video:
And if that’s not going to make Roboco a hit, we don’t know what’s.
Spiritfarer
Spiritfarer was an odd recreation to play in amongst the clamour of the MIX, with drinks (reluctantly, expensively) flowing, a DJ spinning tunes, and every different individual bumping into you with a digital camera rig the dimensions of a small hatchback. It was an oasis of calm, in the midst of an occasion we already thought-about an oasis of calm. (Relatively talking, when compared to the rest of E3.)
However from its temporary displaying during one of the indie segments of the Xbox press convention, Spiritfarer was already making waves. Then we popped on some headphones, minimize ourselves off from the remainder of the world, and we understood why: Spiritfarer is magical.
Advertisement
Enjoying the position of Stella, the ferry master to the deceased – often known as a spiritfarer – it’s a mixture of RPG and delicate administration sim. Stella should acquire the souls of the just lately departed, construct them houses upon her boat, and remedy their remaining earthly considerations to allow them to cross over to the opposite aspect. It’s lovely, poignant, and serene.
Oh, and you may pet Stella’s cat, Daffodil, and even give it cuddles, so it’s officially the greatest recreation of all time. We don’t make the principles.
Tremendous Crush Okay.O.
Super Crush Okay.O. is a vision in neon, a trendy brawler that sees you struggle to rescue your cat. (And in addition save the world from an evil AI, but frankly, that’s secondary to that cat thing.) Super Crush Okay.O. is fluid to play and looks beautiful in motion, while there’s an actual tactile really feel to the control and your character’s highly effective transfer set. Every part in this one is simply so satisfying.
Also, one other indie recreation, one other last-minute “you might also know us from…” This time it’s Vertex Pop, the workforce behind the sensible Sleek Explosion Machine and We Are Doomed. You already know when a well known writer starts writing in a new style, they usually use a nom de plume to see if the e-book is profitable on its own merits and never on the back of their identify? Felt a bit like that on the MIX this yr, although we suspect no one was doing it on function.
Completely Dependable Supply Service
Identical to Rawmen, we already waxed lyrical about how much fun we had enjoying Completely Dependable Supply Service on the MIX. (No, we’re not shortening it to TRDS. That’s a terrible acronym. Go on. Say it out loud. You’ll see.)
In an E3 that featured Rawmen, Fall Guys, Embr, Heave Ho, that recreation we played with the interchangeable 3D-printed ship controls, and so much more fun stuff apart from, Totally Reliable Supply Service was in all probability the second most enjoyable and the second funniest recreation we performed all week. What was the funniest, you ask? Shenmue III. Although we’re not totally positive it was alleged to be humorous. If we’re basing it purely on games that have been purported to make us giggle, Totally Reliable Supply Service wins the crown.
The Wild at Coronary heart
We did a double-take once we walked previous the stand for The Wild at Heart. At first look, we thought it was a second stall for Knights and Bikes, and didn’t really pay it a lot consideration. Once we walked previous a second time and, seeing it in motion, we realised The Wild at Coronary heart was a totally totally different recreation – albeit with an identical art type, all flat, fantastical environments and grinning, cheeky baby protagonists – so we had to see what this one is all about.
Enjoying as a toddler misplaced in a mysterious, magical realm, it’s essential to progress via The Wild at Heart by amassing a set of friendly creatures, often known as Spritelings. You possibly can send them off to do your bidding – every part from amassing assets and building bridges, to clearing areas and preventing monsters – for an intriguing mix of Zelda-like adventure and real-time strategy. Bizarre, positive, but undoubtedly one to observe.

What was the funniest, you ask? Shenmue III. Although we’re not totally positive it was alleged to be humorous. If we’re basing it purely on games that have been purported to make us giggle, Totally Reliable Supply Service wins the crown.
The Wild at Coronary heart
We did a double-take once we walked previous the stand for The Wild at Heart. At first look, we thought it was a second stall for Knights and Bikes, and didn’t really pay it a lot consideration. Once we walked previous a second time and, seeing it in motion, we realised The Wild at Coronary heart was a totally totally different recreation – albeit with an identical art type, all flat, fantastical environments and grinning, cheeky baby protagonists – so we had to see what this one is all about.
Enjoying as a toddler misplaced in a mysterious, magical realm, it’s essential to progress via The Wild at Heart by amassing a set of friendly creatures, often known as Spritelings. You possibly can send them off to do your bidding – every part from amassing assets and building bridges, to clearing areas and preventing monsters – for an intriguing mix of Zelda-like adventure and real-time strategy. Bizarre, positive, but undoubtedly one to observe.

Pick of the MIX: Our 10 favourite games from the MIX at E3 2019
The MIX, or the Media Indie Change to make use of its Sunday identify, is all the time one of the highlights of E3 week.
Yes, most people go to E3 for the blockbusters. They delight in the pageantry and the swag, and the bragging rights of enjoying something first. And that’s nice, don’t misunderstand, but after a couple of days of chaos and queueing, it’s good to go someplace somewhat totally different, like Devolver Digital’s parking zone jamboree, or the MIX.
Sadly this yr, the MIX wasn’t immune from queues. After a 20-minute delay in opening, adopted by an interminably sluggish check-in course of (and inexplicable use of just one elevator in a building with 12 of the issues), we didn’t make it upstairs till 7.57 PM. That’s three entire minutes before the “press-only” hour ended, and the doorways opened to every different business customer. Oh properly.

The change in venue modified the event considerably, too. There was enough room to circulate without tripping over energy cables for one factor. Gone too was the specter of by chance falling right into a rooftop swimming pool. There was even an entire section devoted to the Kinda Funny Video games Showcase, including an area for broadcast recording. (You’re all determined to make us really feel previous as we walk around taking notes with pen and paper, aren’t you?)
It wasn’t all for the better. The self-service beer kegs have been gone, as an alternative replaced by a drinks token every. Not that less free-flowing drink is essentially a nasty thing at occasions, however when the venue’s personal bar prices over 20 dollars for 2 drinks, and also you’re there for a number of hours? It makes for some fascinating expense claims. (“YOU PAID HOW MUCH FOR TWO DIET COKES?!”)
But fortunately, crucial component of the MIX – the games, and the fantastic individuals who make them – was unchanged. Probably the greatest bits of this job is with the ability to spend time speaking to creators and developers, and making an attempt out weird new things.
Listed here are a few of our favourites from the MIX at E3 2019.
Autumn’s End
Autumn’s Finish’s visuals are arresting. Watching over somebody’s shoulder, we’re first introduced to Amber, the protagonist in Autumn’s End, as she falls down a flight of stairs. It’s a cheery and charming animation – mixed with bold, virtually papercut-looking artwork – that may’t assist however put a smile in your face.
Later, once we get to take management of Amber (and having also fallen down the stairs) we get to take pleasure in a few of the trivia of her level and click on adventure. We take photographs. We chat with family and friends. We poke round in nooks and crannies. It’s all so nice, with greater than a touch of Night time within the Woods about it. Imagine Mae just earlier than she leaves for school, not the melancholy, somewhat misplaced woman who comes back, and you’ll be in the fitting place for Autumn’s End.
Simply as we’re leaving, the individual manning the bench tells us they’re Sundae Month, the group behind Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor, and we’re much more enthused by Autumn’s Finish. We inform them that they could need to lead with that info in future.
Embr
The elevator pitch for Embr is one thing else. Delivered at machine-gun velocity, it’s each the advertisement for, and phrases and circumstances of, working for Embr as a gig financial system firefighter. You realize these caveats on the finish of a radio business, the place they attempt to read out all of the horrible things which may happen when you buy their product or service, but too shortly for you to absolutely comprehend them? That’s the pitch for Embr in a nutshell, and it’s hilarious.
Here’s a clip of the pitch being delivered at EGX Rezzed:
Thankfully the sport can also be a whole lot of enjoyable to play – although we are terrible at it – nevertheless it’s OK. Nicely, it’s OK for Embr, because: “Embr LLC accepts no duty for damage, dismemberment, or demise ensuing from fires, explosions, electrocution, pure fuel, dehydration, nut allergic reactions, or concussive drive.” Identical to the actual gig financial system, it’s a dystopian nightmare wrapped up in an almost-reasonable-sounding job supply.
Additionally, as we’re leaving, the one that delivered the gross sales pitch tells us they’re from Muse Games, the workforce behind lovable arcade preventing recreation, Hamsterdam. What is with individuals not telling us who they’re or what else they’ve labored on?

Knights and Bikes
Knights and Bikes, however, wants no introduction. Principally, every thing we stated in our preview of the sport from 2017 nonetheless stands, nevertheless it feels extra polished and cohesive than before. Sadly Rex and Moo weren’t round to talk to on this occasion, as we’d really wish to know when Knights and Bikes is scheduled for release, however every thing is shaping up quite properly.
Kunai
Kunai is known as after an historic Japanese device, considered designed as a kind of trowel, however typically used as a weapon in Manga. It consists of a pointed blade hooked up to a deal with with a loop in it; this means it can be swung, thrown, or hooked up to a rope and used as a grapple.
Enjoying as Tabby – a ninja pc fused with the soul of an historic warrior, because it goes – you’ll wield swords, weapons, and more on this action-adventure. However it’s the titular Kunai that convey probably the most excitement and verticality to the sport, dual-wielding them as both weapon and grappling hook, to traverse the setting like a CRT-headed Spider-Man.
Rawmen
We already talked about Rawmen in our piece on the silly physics games that stole the show at E3 2019, however based mostly on the reaction of everyone who saw it on the MIX, it’s going to be extremely popular. Half Splatoon, half Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater, Rawmen is a disgusting nude multiplayer melee that absolutely wouldn’t get a great meals security inspection score.
It’s gross, however in a very, actually fun approach.
Roboco
Roboco is a recreation designed with schooling in mind, however with the potential for a lot more than that. Ostensibly a educating recreation about physics and programming – you construct a robot out of a set of elements, then feed it some rudimentary instructions to complete a activity – the result of Roboco is usually extra enjoyable than the lesson discovered on the best way, as terrible, awful, no good robots go on a rampage making an attempt to carry out mundane duties.
Simple tasks that you simply in all probability wouldn’t belief a DIY robot with, like looking after infants, for example. It’s principally the video game equivalent of this YouTube video:
And if that’s not going to make Roboco a hit, we don’t know what’s.
Spiritfarer
Spiritfarer was an odd recreation to play in amongst the clamour of the MIX, with drinks (reluctantly, expensively) flowing, a DJ spinning tunes, and every different individual bumping into you with a digital camera rig the dimensions of a small hatchback. It was an oasis of calm, in the midst of an occasion we already thought-about an oasis of calm. (Relatively talking, when compared to the rest of E3.)
However from its temporary displaying during one of the indie segments of the Xbox press convention, Spiritfarer was already making waves. Then we popped on some headphones, minimize ourselves off from the remainder of the world, and we understood why: Spiritfarer is magical.
Advertisement
Enjoying the position of Stella, the ferry master to the deceased – often known as a spiritfarer – it’s a mixture of RPG and delicate administration sim. Stella should acquire the souls of the just lately departed, construct them houses upon her boat, and remedy their remaining earthly considerations to allow them to cross over to the opposite aspect. It’s lovely, poignant, and serene.
Oh, and you may pet Stella’s cat, Daffodil, and even give it cuddles, so it’s officially the greatest recreation of all time. We don’t make the principles.
Tremendous Crush Okay.O.
Super Crush Okay.O. is a vision in neon, a trendy brawler that sees you struggle to rescue your cat. (And in addition save the world from an evil AI, but frankly, that’s secondary to that cat thing.) Super Crush Okay.O. is fluid to play and looks beautiful in motion, while there’s an actual tactile really feel to the control and your character’s highly effective transfer set. Every part in this one is simply so satisfying.
Also, one other indie recreation, one other last-minute “you might also know us from…” This time it’s Vertex Pop, the workforce behind the sensible Sleek Explosion Machine and We Are Doomed. You already know when a well known writer starts writing in a new style, they usually use a nom de plume to see if the e-book is profitable on its own merits and never on the back of their identify? Felt a bit like that on the MIX this yr, although we suspect no one was doing it on function.
Completely Dependable Supply Service
Identical to Rawmen, we already waxed lyrical about how much fun we had enjoying Completely Dependable Supply Service on the MIX. (No, we’re not shortening it to TRDS. That’s a terrible acronym. Go on. Say it out loud. You’ll see.)
