All gods damn interesting threads that are eight nine pages long.
Anyway, now that I've finished reading all this, some feedback:
First off, hilarious idea. Awesome idea. The only problem is as soon as you ask if anyone wants a cameo then you will get requests for cameos (I'm not sure if you noticed that [/irony]). Second, this is going to take a long time. Just making all the models and animations, with just one person working on it, will take...I have no idea how long. A long time, to be sure. Kudos to you for deciding to make that kind of a commitment. You must have been really bored.
As for music, might I suggest Newgrounds Audio Portal? They've got some surprisingly fine music available under creative commons. As long as you cite them they're happy. That would be the easiest way to get music for a project like this.
Just some thoughts. I'll drop by with more as I think 'em up.
good luck making this game. and heres a suggestion: add a setting where you can make the enemies fly off into space whenever they are hit by a deadly explosion, and add a sandbox mode where you can just endlessly respawn enemies and ammo so you can kill as much stuff as you like. i think most game mods have this kind of thing.
Either a warhammer or the ball and chain from Twilight Princess or Final Fantasy Adventure. Same idea, really. I am just oddly satisfied by melee with heavy things. For a ranged attack, a generic white mazic lazer, or something?
Use me as a weapon!
I figured out how that might work: You could always be the spirit of my weapon Translation for those who don't like anime: The chick in the video is visited by the spirit of her gun in an odd dream. ~~~ Just a question: Is it true that of all the Escapees here, at the Escapist, home of Zero Punctuation, no one has proposed having Yahzee in the game?

I was wondering if there could be a mini level where you fight Crazy Zero Punctuation imps(Maddened by the trolls) with plenty of good old references.
A group of six Super-Trolls have gathered an army of lesser trolls and have taken over The Escapist, capturing some of the forum posters and all of the staff.
Wilsonscrazybed, unable to deal with the amount of trolls, calls in 10 posters who he feels will be the most effective against the trolls. He gives them a 'Mod Portal' and this teleports them into The Escapist homepage. This will act as the staging platform of the game
They then shoot and puzzle their way through the various forums, fighting first a Troll-Bot, Labyrinth, A duo of Xitel and Crimson5pheonix and John Galt before figuring out that Moot the owner of 4chan and the rest of the trolls have taken over Themis Media headquarters in real life due to a leak in the internets (started by the Lolcatz book). The 13 (Xitel/Crim and Labyrinth having joined them at this point drop out in the Reception area of the offices and make their way through the building clearing out trolls until they reach the roof. There they battle Moot until he admits defeat.
Nilcypher appears behind them and mentions that there are many trolls still to be captured or killed. Many are already in the "Troll pit" but they are still strongly encouraged to go out and hunt some more. (effectively free play from that point. The Troll Pit is opened for Troll Hunts)
xitel: I already offered to record some lines, and he said he was working on the script. Also, where is your holly? Everyone needs holly.
I think not. My image editing program died recently. I was going to stripe my horns red and white for christmas, but alas, now i cannot.
And this is great. I've always wanted to do some voice-overs for something. Hmm... but to filter it to sound like it's in a helmet? I'm sure i can find some alteration software somewhere.

Post in the Holly thread, someone will holly it up. As for the filtering thing, just put your head in a bucket.
Sounds like a good idea, my question for you is....
Health packs or regenerating health?
But I'm glad you decided to do this, it's a nice way of bringing our community closer together.
Oh and I just had another thought, since we have a large population and everyone in their brother wants to be in this, any chance for a make-your-own character ability? That would satisfy the horde of askers.

No way in Hell. No Bleach, ever. Perhaps, bleach as in the cleaning product, but not that god-forsaken anime. Please But since we're on the topic of theme songs... >=D I love her version of Vivaldi Drat... The writer took the chiptune that I felt was a perfect theme for me off the internets... *sadness* Hrm... This would make a great antagonist theme, and its under Creative Commons!

Are you a blunt, metal object? Or is this supposed to be an innuendo that I'm missing?
For you baby I'm anything. Hahaha but seriously I think it would be awesome to be your weapon :p.
Like the Moogle in FFX :D That would be awesome
Allso in response to the comment about having Yahtzee in the game, while walking home from collage i was thinking about his latest review of L4D and remembered his comment about the "giant boss in space" and thought wouldnt it be cool if in this game you had to fight a giant Yahtzee cartoon in Cyberspace?
i'm confused, is this an RPG, FPS or both? ._.
