Now that I can have everyone's attention, a little good news.

Since Jules and I both needed the occasional break from the Bronze Age, I'm proud to announce Liminal Intranet is now up and running. Even I'm not good enough to hook it up to proper Internet, as that would involve punching dimensional holes that are probably beyond our reach, but it should at least be a boon to Project Infopool.

Servers are in my rooms, so they won't be going anywhere even if I do. You'll have to provide your own computers, though.

Oh my goodness. You should have told me, I'd have come and helped! Next time we're in a modern world, I'm picking up some games, and we're having a LAN party.

[You've made one of the resident geeks very happy, Claudia.]

[claudiometer]

...We could get some quality thinking with portals going on, now that you mention it.

[thornsofmalkav]

... I might have Team Fortress installed on Newport Me's computer.

[professorwolf]

Any and all games with multi-player modes are on the table. Even some that need to be jury-rigged to do it.

[thornsofmalkav]

I've got a couple of console games with multiplayer too, although some of them, like Katamari Damacy, are only multiplayer if you come over to play. I, uh, basically took all her personal possessions because she was dead dead and normal dead people don't need video games.

[professorwolf]

I don't blame you. I might have done the same thing. Now I want to come over and see what you have. Am I a terrible friend if I love you for your video game collection?

[thornsofmalkav]

Not at all, dude. Really, I'm the horrible friend after what Selene and I did to you in Achaia... even if you really did deserve it.

[professorwolf]

[And there goes the humor. Whoops.]

No-- no, Thorne. Don't feel badly. It was the only way an infiltrator could possibly have stopped me. I-- only wish you'd found me sooner.

[He killed... and ate... a lot of people.]

Private x2 protected 5ever

[thornsofmalkav]

... yeah. I mean. I know. [There's a slight pause, then.] I don't know if it counts because I was Selene and to her you were a monster... but. Shit. I've never killed someone before. Not a person. Not directly.

It feels weird.

Sorry. I probably shouldn't get weird on you about this. You were the guy I killed, after all.

No protection, so it's a good thing she has it :P

[professorwolf]

I was a monster, no questions about it. A moon-mad werewolf only has one thing on his mind, and that's killing. No, two things-- killing and eating.

But I do understand. The only time I've ever killed anyone is... well, like that. Moon-mad. And indirectly causing someone to be killed, but while that leaves one feeling guilty, it isn't the same thing as having your own hands or teeth in it.

Re: No protection, so it's a good thing she has it :P

[thornsofmalkav]

I guess it's like vampires and frenzying, sort of.

Yeah. I mean, it wasn't even her first time killing a monster. She was a goddess after all. I just...

I dunno. I'm glad you're okay now, though. I mean, if you are okay.

[professorwolf]

I'm alive, and I'll get better. Not through any fault of yours. Dying... I can really only half remember it, to be honest. My memory isn't perfect from when I'm like that. It's the nightmare of what came before it that's the worst part.

[claudiometer]

Even better.

[shiroganeheir]

I have Portal, and will challenge anyone.

[claudiometer]

Oh, it is on.

[cawfullyironic]

As long as it's not that stupid Ghostbusters MMO I'm down.

[professorwolf]

... now that I didn't now about. I doubt we could play an MMO, they all require connections to the outside world, but I still don't remember that particular game. Er, dare I ask what it was like?

[cawfullyironic]

Dude.

Hold on a sec I got screen caps on my laptop.

I had to keep a record of this steaming pile for future generations.

-=a couple minutes go by and there's the sudden invasion of a ghostbuster in lyall's head. sort of=-



This was my girlfriend's character.



Why does she have a dog head you may ask? I don't' fuckin know. I don't know why anything about this game.

[professorwolf]

... huh. It looks rather photoshopped on, to be honest. Are you sure that wasn't an add-on or a mod?

[cawfullyironic]

Don't know. Don't care.



Just lookit this shit. Like normally I'd be totally down this sort of assetry but when it's all you got for like three fuckin years with the same people, most of which were primitive as fuck reptiles douchebags, I kinda wanted to tear off my own damn wings and shove them up my birdhole.

[professorwolf]

Reptiles? Who apparently played a Ghostbusters MMO? Your life must have been very, er, interesting before you got here.

[cawfullyironic]

Okay, buckle up for this bullshit.

Long story short my friends and I played a game that destroyed our universe so we hijacked a meteor and a golden boat and barreled three years through paradox space to jailbreak into a new universe so we can finish the session there. My ex is got space powers so she shrank our game planets to about the size of tennis balls, including all the tribal reptile that lived there. Sometimes she'd invite some to come play Ghostbusters with us and it was fucking stupid.

I mean it was fun maybe the first time but it got painful real quick.

[professorwolf]

That... actually is even more strange than what happened where I'm from, I have to say. Congratulations. I'm sorry about your universe, though, that must have been....

[He isn't even sure what word to put there. He settles on:]

Terrible.

[cawfullyironic]

To be honest it's kind of hard to have feelings for. It's too big. It's like this unfathomable amount of fuck awful that no amount of emotions can affect without some level of mind raping insanity to follow.

[professorwolf]

That makes sense. I'm still sorry. No one should have to experience something like that. I suppose, then, that this whole game we're in now isn't entirely new to you.
