(Commentary by: Joshua, The Noid)
JOSHUA: Now presenting the first Tampo Email special, the second email to break the 200 line barrier, the first Fanstuff of the Week winner, and the email that started Tampo Email's rise to fame: "future"!
THE NOID: Yeah, this email sure set the future for Tampo emails, eh? Wait, I just made a pun. Crap.
JOSHUA: Okay, right now Tampo gets an email from an Ekulmail.exe character about the future. This is actually the second of three emails from Ekulmail characters that he got. And each time, I didn't know it was a character from that show.
THE NOID: Wait, that...numbery guy is from Ekulmail?
JOSHUA: Well, not exactly, but pretty close. U.L. S#119 sent the email, and UL119 is Ekul's 40X6 form. Close enough if you ask me. Since Ekul sent it...
THE NOID: Okay. Anyways, I kinda find it amusing about how they're just fantasizing about the future and we get cut off....
JOSHUA: Well, they aren't fantasizing too hard, so I doubt we're missing anything important. I wonder now Stlunko found out the email's legitimacy. Can he like, trace the email to its owner in the future? Ah, well... and Tampo actually writes a reply here. He doesn't do that normally.
THE NOID: Well, maybe Stlunko sensed familiar....forces or something, considering it was sent by one of his minions. I'm not sure, exactly.
JOSHUA: Alright, the old fashioned time machine. This is the predecessor of the experiment room. I tried to make this scene as brief as possible... and now it's done. 30X2 time.
THE NOID: And brief was it. Push a button and you're there. Anyways, before reading the email I knew about 30X2. I pictured it as some place that looks like 20X6, but there are like...slave robots scurrying around, and the sky is like...a reddish, to show all this destruction. I forget what the email said, but I'm guessing part of this is correct?
JOSHUA: Not really, at least not in Tampo Emails. The sky and future look bright in 30X2, at least in the places the boss trio visited. Unless your on the other side of the war, or whatever it is. Old powers such as the Emperor of Challenge City, along with Stinkoman and his sidekicks, are dominated by new powers such as Sticklyman and the boss trio. And most of the little robots flying around are fine with the change. ...also, how could you know about 30X2 before this email when it was this email that invented it?
THE NOID: Oh, I saw 30X2 on the Fake Characters page and everything else. My Tampo craze started rather recently, anyways. And yeah, I'm meaning where the war was being lost against them. Anyways, I think this is the part where we meet the future selves, correct?
JOSHUA: First of all, I'd like to point out that all the 30X2 stuff you see is based on this email. That includes the 30X2 fake characters, the 30X2 1-Up Email plotlines, the 30X1 Gunhaver Email plotlines, and anywhere else. Started from right here. Anyway, now they're just about to meet their future selves.
THE NOID: Yeah, here they are. I looked at 30X2 Fake Characters page, which you said originated here, before reading the email. Turns out I got a pretty good vison of Brody and Stlunko, but the new robot body kinda suprised me.
JOSHUA: Well, this email was made before I decided Tampo didn't want a robot body anymore in email #15. So... I assumed being the ruler of the country, he'd be able to get what he wanted.
THE NOID: Makes sense. Anyways, this is the whole...experiment money thing, right? I liked that part.
JOSHUA: Yeah, this is the main part of the email. If we followed "apocalypse"'s logic, the universe should explode when the boss trio receives the money... you know, because of the paradox.
THE NOID: But I'd think the trio would be smarter, if we fast forward, for they already encountered that, so they might've had a plan or something...
JOSHUA: The plan was that if it was worse, they'd drop the money and undo the damage. Probably the universe exploding could be... worse... Yeah, Stlunko must've had some sort of protection out. Maybe... time/space glue or something.
THE NOID: Time glue? Woah, that sounds cool.
JOSHUA: Wormhole! Weeeeeee...
THE NOID: Anyways, this is the part with the new future, right?
JOSHUA: Uh oh, Tampo. Don't ask the question... you'll be sorry... Oops, he just said the forbidden names.
THE NOID: So they didn't regognize Tampo and the others? Does a gold plating really take off like...20 years?
JOSHUA: And the E.T.H. saves the boss trio for the third time. And I guess the robots couldn't tell... maybe they figured there'd be no reason for their great masters to be now here... or their DNA changed a bit with all the upgratdes and stuff... I don't know.
THE NOID: Thats logical. And here's the party!
JOSHUA: And there goes a poor little disposable Jaro... initially he was just going to jump up and break through and crash The Chibi. But that was unrealistic, so I had him break a pipe and the compressed gas sends him flying.
THE NOID:...and here comes the alarm...
JOSHUA: Almost. Tampo and Brody here are naturally a little worried about their future, because it's still a big unknown. You know, because— Alarm. Meteor impact. Whoopee.
THE NOID: Yeah, you can kinda say that Brody was being a-nevermind. I'm not even touching that opprutunity.
JOSHUA: {sorta singing} Gotta grab the money box! The money box! The money box! Gotta grab the money box! 'Cause it holds all your cash...
THE NOID: And thats all they care about, isn't it? They don't save any precious...family...jewelwery or something?
JOSHUA: Nope. But some minions might have snatched some stuff up while they evacuated. I don't think they really had anything of sentimental value, and they could buy pretty much whatever they needed with that cash. Okay, this email's practically over. Here's the damaged Plasma 2000, which still has enough punch left for another email. Now originally... I planned on drawing it as an animated .GIF... but that just never happened.
THE NOID: Well, if you did make it, it better've had the "AGIF UNREGISTERED" thing gone. That thing is like...the plauge. So, anyways, the email...is over. And that means the commentary is too!
