{Gunhaver is in front of his fixed-up Orange 02.}
GUNHAVER: Oh it's the E, la, la, mail, la, la, e, la, la, mail.
{Gunhaver types in 'run "gunhaver_email"' and the following message pops up.}
I don't want to!
GUNHAVER: WHAT???
{Gunhaver types in the same command, and the following message pops up.}
You woke me up from my beauty sleep!
GUNHAVER: You give me an email!
{Gunhaver types in the same command, and the following message pops up.}
Say the magic word!
{Gunhaver types in 'run "gunhaver_email", please!' and the following email pops up.}
Hey Gunhaver,
What would a Cheat Commandos
video game be like? What kind
of system would it be on?
Crapfully yours,
Jman
{After reading "Crapfully yours", Gunhaver says "Oh, so, crapfully, eh, emailer? What is that, a new salutation. Okay." For "Jman", Gunhaver says "Ja (pronounced like juh) man".}
GUNHAVER: {typing} Well, Jaman, interesting question. Well, I imagined one day about this, and I came to a conclusion, the games depend on the systems. So, the first system is the Really Old 2600.
{Cut to an arcade machine that says "Really Old 2600". Then the screen turns on as a yellow and brown square with a tiny blue dot in the upper area walks around. Then blue and red dots come. Then the yellow and brown square shoots a dot at a blue and red dot, blowing it up.}
GUNHAVER: {voiceover} Man, that game would've been so awesome if it existed! I call it, the Really Old Blue Laser Crushing Game!
{Cut back to the computer room with Gunhaver clearing up the screen on the computer before typing.}
GUNHAVER: Generation 2! {pauses} Well, what are you waiting for? Go look at Generation 2!
'{Cut to a blue screen with little pillars of rocks made by pixels in the background, a 2-D, black version of Gunhaver walks down the screen. The words "Rock, rock on!" appear on the screen before "flying" away.}
GUNHAVER: This one, it's a weird game. I call it Mr. Uh... Watch the Gunhaver.
{The black 2-D Gunhaver shoots at flying 2-D Blue Lasers with his pixilated guns, creating Atari sound effects. Cut to another blue screen with 2-D Gunhaver jumping on a trampoline. 2-D Gunhaver springs into the air and punches a flying 2-D Blue Laser before coming down.}
{Cut back to the computer room.}
GUNHAVER: Man, that would be so awesome! I can shoot and punch as many Blue Lasers I want. The next one, is a text adventure, just for you nerds who have imagination with words.
{Cut to a black screen with a C moving across the screen. Then a B comes. Then the following text appears.}
Ye see B. What do you do?
a. Punch
b. Shoot
c. Kick
d. Spell
{The following words are spelled.}
Punch
What are ye mad? This is E! Not T! And you're supposed to do D!
Oh, so, C, you think you're Mr. Wise guy, eh? Or maybe Mr. T!
Well, you are T! You lose a Thousand points and lose the game! Hah!
{Cut back to the computer room with Gunhaver typing on a new screen.}
GUNHAVER: Maybe that game wouldn't be good. I sure didn't enjoy it. It didn't let me punch Blue Laser, or shall I say B. Well, thanks to our technology and Reynold's Gamemaker program, it turns out I DID make a game. And it's NOT about punishing Blue Laser! So you can stop being sick of my obsession of kicking Blue Laser's butt! Let's go!
{Cut to a Windows XP where there's a screen with a blue sky, a desert, and the words VIRUS CRUSHER.}
GUNHAVER: {voiceover} It became a big hit, and I became accredited! Anyway, it's when I...
{Cut to the game, where a stick figure with a mallet walks around the desert.}
GUNHAVER: {voiceover} WHAT??? I told Reynold to make the main character none other than America's favorite yellow texan Cheat: Gunhaver! Anyway, the stick figure is supposed to crush these viruses.
{The stick figure goes to a group of orange and purple circles and crushes them with a mallet. Then another group of viruses arrive and eat up the stick character, making the following words appear: GAME OVER.}
{Cut back to the Orange 02 with Gunhaver typing on a new screen.}
GUNHAVER: Well, the games were good, except for Virus Crusher. That game sucked! As well as the Viruses! They suck extremely
{The following message appears.}
Dear Gunhaver,
All right, fine! Be that way, insulting us. Be warned that we will attack soon!
-The Virus(es)
GUNHAVER: Oh yeah? Well, I'll delete this!
{Gunhaver tries to delete the email, but instead, the computer saves the email by doing the deleting sequence with the word SAVED replacing DELETED.}
GUNHAVER: Oh crap! Well, Jaman... JaMAN! The Juh The JaMan! Those are the games. Now, what do viruses do?
