Mini-bosses
-------------
ChrisWare - Drives around in an SUV blasting U2 at your characters.

kidamnesiac - Dies quickly, but keeps coming back to life. The only way to finally defeat him is to constantly keep your back turned.

Defago - While you don't battle him directly, he does stop by periodically to harass your characters with flute music and formal complaints of racism. You can't defeat him for good, but you can keep him from coming around as often by giving him an important responsibility.

RFNaples - Builds a temple to his best ever albums using the corpses of puppies. You must destroy his temple without getting sued.

GARY - Just a big troll. It takes a while, but you'll eventually kill him.

Romanelli - Like Defago, you don't battle him directly, but he causes periodic confusion by reorganizing your weapons and spells. Occasionally, he'll toss them from your inventory entirely for unknown reasons. Keep him at bay by only using equipment that was made within the past year.

The Poe - He has countless tiny minions with terrible acne and shrill voices. They all toss things at you, but you have no idea what they are. The most effective weapon against him is hip-hop.

Jackwc - Sends out occasional hypnosis spells that cause your characters to turn against you. The only way to defeat him is to introduce him to a really attractive but controlling person. For an alternate ending, you can just join him in a big cuddle party.

Final boss who has been secretly orchestrating everything
-----------------------------------------------------------------
JMan - Good luck defeating his endless barrage of confused rhetoric, Wonka wikis, and awkwardly written pamphlets. It will be a very long battle indeed.

We have good IRL photos of most of these users, so they'd be really easy to design.

Having IRL photos is super useful for design yeah, though wouldn't it be better if we had some sort of vote or something to decide who gets a character in the game?

This is really great, though I think maybe they should stay as Mini-bosses, and have the larger bosses be music references.

I think Jman should leave in the middle of the battle.

also, other members should probably make small cameos, maybe as NPCs

Who's Josh?

I'd have to think James Otto will need to play a role in this game.

Scotty Baboon may deserve a cameo as a mini boss as well.

Apparently James is paying Albummaster for the ad space, so maybe we can secure financing and have the whole game be an ad for Otto Pilot records.
