Commentary Transcript

(Commentary by: Joshua, Super Sonic X)

JOSHUA: Hello Super Sonic X. You're the lucky person who gets to do the Tampo Email special "virus" commentary with me. How do you feel?

SUPER SONIC X: Thank you. I would like to take this moment to say IN YOUR FACE, SLOWBIES! Besides the ones doing commentaries on Revolution and Apacolypse.

JOSHUA: This isn't a race against the other commentators. And the ones doing Chickens, Master, Apocalypse and Tornado Guy are the ones who've made a lot of progress so far. {pause} Now, here Tampo gets the virus email that every email show is doomed to get at one time or another. Fortunately though he got a bit more interesting email than the standard ert+ one, so I got to someplace with it.

SUPER SONIC X: AAH! BIG WHITE WORDS ON A BIG RED SCREEN! Am I blind now?

JOSHUA: Ah yes, I had some fun with blockquotes with this email. And I had to go to great lengths to make sure the boss trio couldn't stop the download. I mean, self powering the computer so it can't be shut off? I don't know if that's even physically possible. I suppose that Stlunko could just take out a sledgehammer and pulverise the SuperCom... that would probably stop the virus.

SUPER SONIC X: Yeah, but would stopping a virus really be worth destroying a computer as awesome as the SuperCo-AUGHTHEHUGEREDANDWHITEMESSAGEONSCREENAIGAIN!

JOSHUA: Wha? Now, let's fast forward a little bit here... {email fast forwards for a little while, then changes back to normal} Stop! Okay... RUN BOSS TRIO! RUN!!! ...as you can see, Brody hesitates here. That's why he doesn't stand a chance.

SUPER SONIC X: Ah! It's a dragonduck-o-man! Quick, red dot! Get the red key to the red castle to get the sword! {pauses} Oh, wait. It's a Tampo email.

JOSHUA: Yes, and don't you forget it! Now, anti-virus shields. Pretty lucky Stlunko happened to have these lying around.

SUPER SONIC X: Woah! Brody has one of those grabbo-arm-hand-for-real-type deals!

JOSHUA: Yes... and here he first reveals his secret love for muffins that nearly no one knows about.

{silence}

SUPER SONIC X: What? Trevor exists?

JOSHUA: The virus must have put a gameboy and a blender in Tampo! Wah!!

SUPER SONIC X: Wouldn't Trevor be trapped inside the force field?

JOSHUA: No... it's an anit-virus shield. Only works on computer virus manifesting in the real world.
