Curses, you've tumbled my nefarious plan!
Indeed, now I have a riddle for you! What's black and is about to be hung from a tree?KefkaCultist said:
*Makes tireswing* THIS
WHEEEE
Yep, it's official. Indie developers are now allowed to just make shit up and SOMEONE will think it's brilliant.
Also, we need to figure this out fast, because our killer....*sunglasses*...isn't going to tire.

That's just awesomely incredible, if they can avoid it becoming too tacky. The makings of a horror-comedy classic.
Also, the SCP thing I was pimping in the "horror books" thread? This could easily be one of the items... I even wonder if the author was inspired by it...
(Or maybe just thought ... what happened to the components after the end of "Christine"?)
SCP-xxx
Psychokinetic Tire
Class: Euclid
Containment: Unless being used for testing, subject xxx-001 must be kept in a welded-shut sealed steel box of 500 x 500 x 200mm dimensions at all times, suspended in a 1-metre cube of steel and glass-fibre reinforced concrete with a plastic shock-absorbing shell, held to the floor with heavy-duty steel chains in the middle of a standard 10 x 10 x 10 metre steel-lined containment cell. The raw materials should be recycled from automotive origins if possible, as this appears to have a more strongly damping effect on the range of the subject's destructive powers and has, thus far, rendered it unable to escape. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should any rubber material be allowed into the containment cell; any rubber or rubber-containing items accidentally allowed within close proximity of the subject will be confiscated and destroyed by incineration. Any staff discovered intentionally doing so will be reprimanded, questioned and immediately demoted to D-class at a different site.
Subject xxx-002 should be kept under similar containment, except for the box having smaller dimensions of 375 x 375 x 150mm, in a cell at a different site to xxx-001. Should an emergency evacuation and transfer lead to both subjects being on the same site, arrangements must be made immediately for one or other to be relocated.
Should either subject escape, pursuit and recapture should only be attempted by unmanned drones of an abstract design without any recognisable "head" or other resemblance to earthly animals. Thus far, remote operation of the drones has proven safe, though some operators have reported headaches during missions which develop into crippling migranes within 24 hours. Their progress has been monitored, and any recurrence during future recapture operations will result in an immediate abandonment of remote-controlled pursuit and a switch to an experimental mixture of AI-based control (developed using purely evolutionary algorithms with no human input or bias towards human-like behaviour) and outfitting operators with fully-enclosed, tight fitting helmets copiously lined with Telekill alloy.
....And so on and so forth with a largely blanked out, mildly humorous, paranoia-generating description of this inexplicably sentient, highly destructive, pyschokinetically violent ("inimical towards any and all other sentient life, or object resembling known lifeforms, that passes within 3 metres", or however the phrase goes for a universally murderous item), unstoppable hoop of moulded rubber and steel fibre ("the tread pattern and markings appear superficially similar to those of a normal tire, but the script used for the text itself bears no similarity to any known on earth and the particular, seemingly fibonacci-based tread design does not match any used by manufacturers current or past"), its known travails to date, its capture, subsequent escape and recapture, damage wrought amongst staff and the coverups for the initial exposure and the escape.
Not to mention how come there's now a subject -002...
Anyhoo ... be very interested to see what comes of this... it's certainly one of the more creative things that seems to be out this year.
