Raillery: the funny underbelly of computer games
Quote from: TimB on March 04, 2013, 01:02:24 PMWhen/if I run Eclipse Phase I plan to steal the idea that any time I run into a issue of inability to describe the future I will just add Space or Future to the front of any modern concept. Future Twitter and Space Coffee Mug and such. Also I do believe in order to get the emphasis when reading it should be SPACE lumber.If you have ever seen that episode of Invader Zim when Spaaace Meeeeat is mentioned, you will hear the emphasis I was hearing while writing this (text does not have the same delivery). Besides I was channeling the delta fork of Douglas Adams while writing this and DNA would never stoop so low as to use all caps when deadpan delivery will suffice.

I think we need an emergency viewing of every Jim Carey movie in order to beat that out of you. In this here US of A we only approve of the humor that Jesus used, slapstick.

I fear this modern world had ruined me for anything more substantial.
Also, forgot the mention, those who read my entry, I have a question for you. But don't read the question until after reading the story.[spoiler]Was the ending obvious?[/spoiler]
The whale has an expression on his face like what the hell, man? What did I do? Don't harpoon me, bro!
