ARR! The Search of the Hidden Booty (and 6 Sim-Realism Movie Posters for download)





I'm pretty sure this is the most stupid thing I've ever written, but I had so much fun I'm eager to do it again in the near future.

If you've been following the fourth and fifth generation of the Broke Legacy, you already know about Tim's show business career, from his beginnings as a teen comedian to the film that made him a "movie star" a few years later.

That movie is "ARR! The Search of the Hidden Booty", a pirate movie about the incredible adventures of an ex-hacker, Salomon Bridges and his best friend, Dr. Lily Jones, as they search for the hidden "booty": A treasure of custom content files stolen by the evil pirate, Captain Tobias Greed.

I was planning to make a short spin-off story for this movie, but that would take me a long time and I'm already too busy with my job (of course) and my two stories to start yet another project. So, I settled for a silly trailer, open enough to let you imagine your own version of the Arr! Movie.

This has no relation to the Broke Legacy (besides the identity of the main actor), so anyone can read this without risk of spoilers.

I hope you enjoy it ^^.





(Insert Epic Movie Music)




Narrator : Since the beginning of our simulated existence,




We've relied on the hard work of the unknown ones,




who have worked hard to bring us beauty and comfort to our lives.




No one knows exactly how or why this happened,




but for years we've just needed to click a couple links,




to gain access to a vast world of furniture and fashion.




But what would happen,




if you woke up one morning,




only to discover,




that EVERYTHING has mysteriously disappeared?





Distressed Townie: NOOOOOOOOO!




Captain Tobias Greed: Greetings, people of Sim Earth. I, Captain Tobias Greed, have stolen all your precious custom content files.
If you ever want to see the booty again, you must subscribe to my monthly service to gain access to my server!




Salomon Bridges: That greedy bastard! How dare he steal my custom videogames! And I was so close to beat them! At least he didn't take my converted lucky underwear...




Dr. Lily Jones: Relax, Salomon. I've found his location through his I.P. address.




Lily (off): His secret base is located in Wiki Island, in the middle of the Fire Wall Ocean.
Bridges (off): Great! Then let's go there, stole the booty back and kick Greed's ass in the mean time!




Lily: Errr... did you listen to a word I said? The booty is hidden in a lost island in the middle of an extremely dangerous ocean! How are we supposed to go there?!




Bridges: Relax, Lil! I've got everything figured out! I'm a pirate, remember?
Lily (off): You are an ex-hacker, Salomon. You surf the Internet, not the seven seas, remember?




Bridges: Pffft! It's the same thing!




Bridges: Look! I know a friend, who can lend us a boat,




Bridges (off): And with the help of this map, we'll be at Wiki Island in no time! Besides, I'll bring my lucky underwear too. There's no way this plan can go wrong!
Lily (off): Errr... I don't know..."
Bridges (off): Trust me! It'll be the smoothest trip, ever.




Bridges: ARRR! By my lucky underwear, I promise I'll recover the booty!




Lily: All right, Salomon. But could you please stop mentioning your underwear? It's making me nervous!




Narrator:This summer...



Embark on an journey to the unknown..

Bridges: See, Lily? We made it to Wiki Island safe and sound! Just as I promised!
Lily: ...




Bridges (off): Lily? Lily?




Narrator: And follow the adventures of a man who won't stop at anything to reach his ideals,




Bridges: If I were Greed, I'd had followed a different path. I'd had asked them for a "donation" in exchange of the files plus a percentage of the bonus money they earn from job promotions and chance cards.
Lily: ...




Bridges: Why are you looking at me like that? I'm joking of course! Really?!.




Narrator: And the beautiful scientist,




who will do everything,

Lily: According to the signal, Greed's lair is a couple miles away from our camp.




Bridges: Who cares about Greed's lair?! I've just found the booty!
Lily (off): Errr, Salomon?! I don't think that's...




Narrator: to save him from his blatant idiocy.
Bridges: What the fuck is this?! ARRR!
Lily (off): Told you so. Let me look for yet another band aid...




Narrator:As they search for a valuable treasure,
Bridges (off): Do you see anything, Lily?




Lily (off): Ugh! He's looking at porn!
Bridges (off): Huh?




Lily: Nevermind! There's the booty!




Narrator: and take it back from the hands of an evil criminal
Greed: Mua ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!




Narrator: In a story filled with adventure,




Suspense...

Lily: Quick! This is my only chance to upload the booty to our server and share them with the rest of Sim Earth!




Greed: Mua ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ! Sending love e-mails, Miss Jones?
Lily: *Freaked out*




Narrator:Courage...
Greed: Surrender, Bridges! I've got my files copy-protected! Mua ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!




Bridges: Never! My pals at the forum have already cracked your code! ARRRR!




Narrator: Romance...




And passion, that'll be remembered for several generations.




Studio City Films presents:
Tim Broke,





Bridges: Ha! I knew all those hours playing Melda on my Wuu would be useful one day!




Narrator:Jan Tellerman




Lily: I wonder how come our laptop batteries haven't run out in all the weeks we've been here...




Narrator:And the two times Simmy Award Winner, Benjamin Long,
Greed: Mua ha ha ha ha ha h...




Greed: All right, who the hell wrote this shitty script?!




Narrator:In, ARRR! The Search of the Hidden Booty!




Bridges: I think I really found the booty this time! There's something buried here!








Lily (off): Salomon... that's our cathole...
Bridges: ...




Narrator: Rated PG-13.
Slightly based on real events.
Coming soon to your nearest movie theater!
