Thy TampoBrain XVII/Documentary
From Homestar Runner Fanstuff Wiki
A documentary of the creation of Thy TampoBrain XVII, with actual MSN dialogue action! Written by me, Joshua, for Super Sam and myself to remember how it all went down. You might get a kick out of reading it as well. Or you might find it too self-indulgent. I don't really care. (No important MSN dialogue was skipped. All cut parts were entirely off-topic!)

Thy Dungeon Experiment
Thy TampoBrain XVII started innocently enough on MSN, as all things of importance do. Recently after Thy Dungeonman 3 came out, Super Sam decided he would edit the game to create whatever he wanted!
Session Start: Monday, April 24, 2006
Joshua: Thy Dungeonman III versus "bomb squad"... Who's
the pirate and who's the ninja? [/joel dawson]
Super Sam: I will hurt you badly.
Joshua: Pirate ninja!
Super Sam: And Thy Dungeonman III is clearly better!
Super Sam: It has hi-res graphics!
Joshua: But only two minigames!
Joshua: Rather than my three! WAH!!!
Super Sam: I must re-code Thy Dunjinman 3 in order to
change it into bomb squad!
Joshua: Eep.
Joshua: It's ingenious!
Joshua: So..
Joshua: How exactly are you raping Thy Dungeonman III?
(no response)
Early "Drafts"
He first focused it on Tampo Emails, jokingly of course. He had no plot-making powers at all, apparently. So he just did what he does best... make joke rooms solely on MSN.
Session Start: Tuesday, April 25, 2006
Super Sam: I must clearly edit Thy Dungeonman 3.
Joshua: Okay!
Super Sam: And relate it to some form of Tampo
Email.
Joshua: Bomb squad!
Joshua: How much could you edit it anyway?
Super Sam: Everything except for the graphics,
probably.
Super Sam: It's all just text.
Joshua: Then you should probably go with editing #2.
Super Sam: #2 no fun. I never played #2.
Joshua: Wuh?
Joshua: Thou art a loseth!
...
Joshua: You should obviously program some sort of text
adventure editor for the Fanstuff Wiki.
Super Sam: That sounds like it is so dumb.
Super Sam: Thy Tampoman 3!
Joshua: Yay for stupidity!
Super Sam: Thy Dungeonbrain!
Super Sam: Thy Tampobrain!
Joshua: Just... go.
Super Sam: Josh TampoBrain XVIII!
Super Sam: Ja-row.
Joshua: ...
Super Sam: Clearly nothing else!
...
Super Sam: I demand you give me a starting room.
Joshua: For what?
Joshua: Thy Tampoman?!
Super Sam: Yay!
Joshua: Never!
Super Sam: I'll make one.
Joshua: Abuse your own fantuff. ._,
Super Sam: You are in front of the SAARGTSCREEN.
There is an exit to the WEST. STLUNKO is sitting in the
general vicinity of you.
Joshua: Eep.
Joshua: The pictures would ruin the atmosphere of
whatever you make.
Joshua: You need to find a way to destroy them.
Super Sam: You are in front of a SUPERCOM. There is
an exit to YOUR FACE. There is a JARO sitting on a
BRODY.
Joshua: Eep.
Super Sam: >get brody
Super Sam: You attempt to get Brody, but disturb the
Jaro in the process. He eats you. You taste like
pudding. Game ober. <(.-.<(
Joshua: Eep. (Yeah, I'm pretty much an eeping machine.)
Super Sam: I probably should get the required fonts
first!
Joshua: You officially have to stay in your fanstuff
now.
Super Sam: You are in Beta Clam's server room. There
is an abundant amount of SERVERS grazing ahead of you.
You have a CAT. Obvious exits are nowheres goodly!
Super Sam: >eat cat
Joshua: Uh oh.
Super Sam: You wish you could eat thou cat,
Shim-Sham-Sam. (Shim-Sham-Sam dislikes cats, yo.)
Super Sam: The cat claws your eyes out and eats your
brains. You are slightly dumber. And slightly less
alive. (This line found its way into Thy TampoBrain. Can ye findeth it?)
Joshua: Eep.
Joshua: It is genious!
Problematic Josh
But unlike Super Sam, I had the power to write a full fledged text adventure, or so I thought! And suddenly I wanted to make one of that type! Unfortunately I lacked the Flash for such an editing spree and there were no cool free text adventure makers out there for me to find.
Session Start: Tuesday, April 25, 2006
Joshua: How much of the game can you edit/destroy?
Super Sam: Everything!
Super Sam: It has very easy to understand code!
Super Sam: Except for this weird code.
on(getYeFlask)
Super Sam: die;
Joshua: What of pictures?
Super Sam: I could change them!
...
Super Sam:I could possibly draw Stinkomanual-like
graphics.
Joshua: Yay!
Joshua: It requires Flash to edit it, right?
Super Sam: Yup.
Super Sam: At least Flash MX 2004.
Super Sam: Also known as FLASH 7!!!
Joshua: Dern.
Super Sam: You have no Flash.
Super Sam: Legal or otherwise!
Joshua: I used to!
wAH!!!
Super Sam: You obviously had a legal trial version.
Joshua: Fortunately there's some sort of text adventure
editor out there.
Joshua: I think Markie used it.
Super Sam: I demand to see this text adventure editor
and have it shot.
Joshua: You'd have to find it.
Super Sam: I refuse to find it!
Super Sam: It sounds as evil as editthis.info.
Joshua: Well, I'd have to find it then.
Joshua: I know Neopets has a rockin' cool text adventure
maker.
Super Sam: I've seen it.
Joshua: But it'd have to be Neopet related. So eh.
Super Sam: I used to go on Neopets!
Super Sam: Then it got dumb.
Joshua: I made a good text adventure on it!
Joshua: Never finished/released it though.
...
Joshua: Joshua says:
http://s13.invisionfree.com/Fanstuff/index.php?showtopic=246
Joshua says:
Teh Marskay text adventure
Joshua: Gave it to the wrong MSN messenger-type again.
>.>
Super Sam: Genious.
Joshua: Abuse teh adventure maker! Byes!
Joshua: Boop. [Signed off!]
Ploppy Plot
Super Sam prodded me for Tampo Email-related plot ideas for him, to which I responded jokingly. It still didn't click that we could work on this together. Fortunately this plot never amounted to anything.
Session Start: Tuesday, April 26, 2006
Super Sam: You think about Thy Tampobrain.
Joshua: I could think up a Tampo Email related plot if
you needed one.
Joshua: But you clearly do not.
...
Super Sam: You must think of a Tampobrain plot, or
I'll have to clearly adapt something. >.>
Joshua: Okays, let's see if I can think up something
awesome in about twenty seconds in the wee hours of the
night.
Super Sam: 20!
Super Sam: 19!
Super Sam: 18!
Super Sam: 17!
Super Sam: 16!
Super Sam: 15!
Super Sam: You think about it and tell me at 4:00pm!
Wah!
Super Sam: 14!
Super Sam: 13!
Super Sam: 12!
Super Sam: 11!
Super Sam: 10!
Super Sam: 9!
Super Sam: 8!
Super Sam: 7!
Super Sam: 6!
Super Sam: 5!
Joshua: Done!
Super Sam: 4!
Joshua: Okay...
Joshua: The boss trio are doing some digging-style work
in the lava zone.
Joshua: Suddenly they uncover a certain number of
powerful Crystals of Clicheness!
Super Sam: Eep.
Joshua: But when bringing them back to Saargtsson, a
minion bumps into them.
Joshua: Causing them to drop all the crystals into some
sorta teleportation pad, warping them randomly across
the land.
Joshua: And then you have to explore the many worlds of
Tampo Emails to retrieve them.
Joshua: And then you finally gather them all together
for Saargtsson to use them in his ultimate power
thingy...
Joshua: When they grow into one giant gem boss thing
that you have to defeat!
Joshua: ...and then they learn the true power is in
themselves or something equally as dumb.
Joshua: THE END!
Super Sam: Goody.
Joshua: It's perfect. I'll expect at least 40% complete
next time I see you.
Joshua: Bye bye. [Signed off]
...next day...
Joshua: How much of my AWESOME plot did you text
adventure up?
Super Sam: Let me check
Super Sam: Approximately none!
Super Sam: I blame Mitchell and Shim-Sham-Sam.
Joshua: I blame you and your lack of pure awesomeness.
The Revelation
So then we finally figured out the obvious truth. Super Sam can code it but he doesn't seem to have the writing capacity. Joshua wants to write it but he doesn't have any coding tools or skills. So let's merge together what he get to create a masterpiece! And thus Thy TampoBrain XVII was born.
Session Start: Wednesday, April 27, 2006
Super Sam: You are in your personal quarters. The
Saargtsscreen is turned off. There are exits to SOUTH
and EAST.
Joshua: Turn on SaargtScreen.
Joshua: I want to make some sorta Thy Tampobrain!
Joshua: Stupid lack of Flash.
Super Sam: You turn the SaargtScreen on. Geneyass!
Super Sam: There is a command prompt on the
SaargtScreen.
Joshua: Can Tampo even turn on the SaargtScreen?
Super Sam: You tell me?!
Joshua: I should probably give him telekinetic powers.
>.>
Super Sam: He can float! Good enough.
Joshua: His lack of those has always been a pretty big
handicap.
Super Sam: He can ram the on button.
Joshua: He can lift himself up.
Joshua: That's probably using up all his juices!
Super Sam: You should've kept them from "experiment"!
Joshua: I considered it!
Super Sam: run boorst (Easter egg from "bomb squad")
Joshua: Eep.
Super Sam: You explode in a firey ball of cerrebellum
for no apparent raisen. There is Tampo splattered all
over the place. Game ober.
Joshua: Ouchies.
Joshua: Have you edited any of Thy Dungeonman III?
Joshua: I demand you to find some sort of free online
text adventure maker.
Joshua: The more user-friendly, the better!
Super Sam: I should obviously code one.
Joshua: You obviously can't.
Joshua: So find one!
Super Sam: Got that right
Super Sam: Time to pee.
Super Sam: Be right back
Joshua: Eep.
Super Sam: Back.
Joshua: Wah! (Sure sign of a close friendship. Too close.)
Joshua: http://www.axeuk.com/quest/
Joshua: The fabled Quest costs money!
Super Sam: Sounds dumb.
Super Sam: I'd rather decompile!
Super Sam: I need to finish STT.
Joshua: Well, I give up.
Joshua: There's clearly no free Text Adventure makers
out there.
Joshua: Which makes your newfound ability of giving me
editable access to the SWF even more important!
HERE IT COMES!!! O.O {drumbeat}
Super Sam: You make text adventure. I code it in.
Genious!
Joshua: Yay!
Super Sam: Easy to code crap. Hard to come up with
crap.
Super Sam: In the meantime, I shall work on STT.
Joshua: Okay, but...
Joshua: What are your limitations?
Joshua: Any size/room limits?
Super Sam: Nope.
Joshua: Command limits?
Super Sam: Nope.
Joshua: Removing the pictures limits?
Super Sam: BWAH?!
Super Sam: Removing the pictures shouldn't be too
hard.
Joshua: If you can't, there's always #2.
Super Sam: Like I said, code easy!
Joshua: Which you should probably go for.
Super Sam: #3 much easier.
Joshua: As it seems to follow the same code, but without
annoying images.
Joshua: Howscome?
Super Sam: I've played #3! I know what it can do!
Joshua: #2 can do the same stuffs...
Joshua: Except no pictures.
Super Sam: Pictures no problem!
Super Sam: Removing easy.
Joshua: Yes, and make sure the annoying loading time and
large screen-taking space goes to.
Joshua: Then I be ready to write.
Super Sam: You write. I code.
Super Sam: Not wasting time coding if you no write!
Joshua: I'll write up something if you can make the
pictures' space and loading times go away.
Super Sam: I can.
Joshua: Okay.
Thy TampoBirth
And from that point, I started immediately working on what would soon be almost a half-year-long project. Nearly six months of people thinking I was slanking off of Tampo Emails! A half year of people bugging me on MSN on whether I was going to update! A HALF YEAR OF NO ONE UNDERSTANDING!!!! WAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! {jumps off a cliff}
Anyway, here's where you can see the start of the TampoBrain you know and love/loathe/eat. And me getting the ropes of TampoWriting.
Directly continuing from last chapter!
Joshua: What plot should I use though?
Joshua: Should it be a new Tampo Email?!
Super Sam: Possibly!
Joshua: Or something unrelated...
Joshua: Or a not-quite-Tampo Email!
Joshua: Yeah, that'll probably work.
Super Sam: Makes no difference to me! HEHEHEHEHEHE
(phails at life)
Joshua: Eep.
Joshua: Now there's the storyline issues...
Joshua: I do want Tampo to be able to explore his
universe!
Joshua: Hmmm...
Joshua: He'll definitely start in his personal chamber.
Joshua: But something has to go wrong with his new
computer.
Super Sam: New compy?!
Joshua: SaargtScreen II. Built in microwave oven.
Joshua: Not big deal!
Super Sam: Evil microwave oven.
Joshua: Should it have lame medival languaging?!
Super Sam: Not necessary!
Super Sam: It is 20X6 stuff!
Super Sam: It must have lame Engrish languaging!
Joshua: Ye art TAMPO. Ye find yeself in yon personal
chamber. There is a LAVA FLOW to the side. Ye neu
SAARGTSCREEN II lyeth in the centre of the room, tis
turned off. Only obvious exit lyeth SOUTH.
(If the previous chapter was labor and the brainstorm the contractions, this paragraph is BIRTH!!! (>o.0)> )
Super Sam: I'm scared.
Joshua: Yay!
Joshua: Normal english it is.
Joshua: How do I show commands and responses?
Super Sam: >eat turkey
You eat turkey. AND DIE!
Super Sam: This will muchly help your hiatus!
Joshua: Indeed. This be a fun way to end it.
Joshua: Hopefully it won't take too long. (Yeah, RIGHT.)
Super Sam: End hiatus or end Tampo Emails?!
Joshua: Hiatus!
Super Sam: Phewy!
Joshua: That sounds like "Phooey!"
Super Sam: Winter is cold down here!
Joshua: >.>
Super Sam: 10 degrees in the morning! (Celsius, fools.)
Joshua: Eep.
Joshua: Room: Personal Chamber
It's another normal day in the Lava Zone. You've awoken
in your personal chamber. It's been rather uneventful
since you've gotten the SAARGTSCREEN II, which sits in
the center of the room turned off. This seems like a
good time to check your EMAIL, something you haven't
gotten to do in a while. Pesky Saargtsson and his
endless chores. There is a LAVA FLOW to the west side of
the room, while the exit is south.
Super Sam: Wah! You didn't capatilise SOUTH!
Joshua: Yeah, I had just fixed that.
Joshua: [Edited away! Literally the same paragraph,
except with 'south' capitalized. Whoopie.]
Joshua: I should probably brainstorm a plot right about
now.
Joshua: I should clearly do something with the viral guy
in the bomb. (omg spoilerz!!)
Super Sam: Maybes.
Joshua: This is also the perfect time for Tampo to get
some sort of telekinesis!
Joshua: How do synonyms work?
Super Sam: Two words that do the exact same thing.
Joshua: Yeah.
Super Sam: I could program "screen" to act like
"saargtscreen".
Super Sam: So
Joshua: How would I list them?
Super Sam: SYNONYM: screen, saargtscreen
SYNONYM: pants, shorts, long pants
Joshua: Eep.
Joshua: I know a way!
Super Sam: Good for you!
Super Sam: > go west || go lava flow
You head towards the lava flow and decide to sit in it.
You feel warmth as it flows over your soft, gooey brain.
You then remember that you can't survive in lava. For a
brain, you aren't very smart. You die.
(We kept this paragraph in game. One of the few Sam-born paragraphs!)
Joshua: Yay!
Super Sam: That || is weird Flash syntax for "or"!
Joshua: You will clearly be able to sit in lava.
Super Sam: I'm going to sleep!
Joshua: That sounds bad!
Super Sam: You work on Tampomania.
Joshua: k
Super Sam: By that I mean, Thy Tampobrain.
Joshua: Yay!
Joshua: Bye bye.
Super Sam: Or whatever insane thing it's called.
<(x-x<)
Getting It Going
And so throughout the next several months, we transferred files back and forth. I'd give text files either full of commands for a new room, or a checklist full of glitches to fix and details to add. And then he'd do them and send a new Flash file over for me to check out and bug test. And this was how it was for many months!
Session Start: Wednesday, April 27, 2006
Joshua: Anyway, it turns out that I MIGHT not be here
when you're online.
Super Sam auto-message: I'm in my bed
Joshua: So I'm just going to send the data to you for
you to edit it with when you come on.
Super Sam auto-message: Go away. I'm sleeping.
Joshua: And then I'll expect you to send the initial
version to me once your done updating the first room.
Super Sam auto-message: CLAMBURGER SAYS GO AWAY!
Joshua: Here it is:
Transfer of "Personal Chamber.txt" is complete.
Joshua: Buh.
Joshua: Ooh, some sort of automatically downloader.
Joshua: Well, make sure you get an updated version to me
before you go to school. :P
Joshua: Teh boop.
Session Start: Thursday, April 28, 2006
Super Sam: Beta Version!
Joshua: Alpha Version!
Super Sam: Alpha Stan Version!
Joshua: Beta Clam-proof version!
You have successfully received C:\Documents and
Settings\Joshua\My Documents\Thy
TampoMan\~thyDungeonman3.swf from
supersammyfluff@msn.com.
Click here to play this alpha version!)
Joshua: Yay! I've been Supersammyfluff'd!
Super Sam: Oop?!
Joshua: Nothing. >.>
Super Sam: You are clearly forgetting one thing.
Joshua: Eep. Thy Dungeonman intro message deuce!
Super Sam: Yay!
Super Sam: You needs Flash Player 7.
Joshua: Eep. The first page is all messed up.
Super Sam: Yup.
Joshua: Global look command?
Super Sam: Alpha-alpha!
Super Sam: I fixed it! No worries!
Joshua: Oop.
Joshua: Picture = still very much there and non-lava
zoney.
Joshua: Okay, testing times.
Super Sam: Don't forget to "use claws"!
Joshua: "What wouldst thou deau?" needs to be changed to
"What will you do?" or something.
Super Sam: Step 1: Remove graphics!
Joshua: And fix the global look command.
Joshua: Which I assume you'd realise was the same as the
location description.
Joshua: Or close to it.
Joshua: Wah! I can't 'look saargtscreen'!
Joshua: Or use it!
Super Sam: Something went wrong with the synonyms.
Super Sam: You must use compy!
Joshua: ...
Joshua: you try getting synonyms working.
Joshua: Eep.
Joshua: "Thou're not very goodst at thist gamest" pops
up after looking at the lava.
Joshua: After its description.
Super Sam: Eep.
Joshua: I can't use 'look saargtscreen' for any of the
synonyms.
Joshua: Including the base word.
Super Sam: Haw?
Joshua: look 'gokul' isn't working either.
Joshua: I'm scared. ._.
Super Sam: Wah! What happened to my gokul?!
Joshua: "Boop" don't work either!
Super Sam: Well, you can asplode the gokul good.
Joshua: With a freakin' long non-broken up discription.
>.>
Joshua: Can you use the look commands correctly?
Super Sam: look compy works.
Joshua: Indeed.
Super Sam: Found the error!
Super Sam: I used .isLook instead of .isLookAt
Joshua: Eep.
Joshua: Fix 'em all!
Super Sam: look lava works.
Joshua: And split up some of the longer descriptions.
Super Sam: I'll be removing graphics, so soon to be
not a problem!
Joshua: Whenever I indented a description, I entended it
to be split.
Joshua: Do you know what went wrong with your synonyms?
Super Sam: Nopers.
Super Sam: But I will check!
Joshua: Also, I can still talk and look at the Gokul in
stuff.
Joshua: Even though I thought I exploded him.
Joshua: w00t! I can keep on exploding the gokul for
endless points!
Super Sam: Wah!
Super Sam: Retesting times!
Super Sam: Export it up...
Joshua: Do you know how to split the descriptions?
Super Sam: Nope.
Super Sam: They never did it in the game.
Joshua: They did something...
Joshua: Like when you go VOIP and stuffs.
Super Sam: I remember! I shall look.
Super Sam: Right now, I must fixed what I most
recently destroyed!
Joshua: Which is?
Super Sam: I removed more then the pictures.
Joshua: Eep.
Super Sam: Export it up...
Super Sam: v0.03
Joshua: Synonyms need to be working!
Super Sam: Well, the text is back.
Joshua: >.>
Super Sam: Hooray! Look gokul works!
Joshua: Now you gotta figure out synonyms and splitting
descriptions.
Super Sam: And picture-destruction.
Super Sam: What room has a split description in it?
Joshua: Eh?
Joshua: The...
Super Sam: Sanctum?!
Joshua: I'll have to look it up on the wiki.
Joshua: Gimme a sec.
Joshua: Oh, I know one.
Joshua: When you first enter the inner parts of the
boiling pot.
Super Sam: Got it.
Joshua: Grarg. Stupid no synonyms.
Joshua: I cannot work in these conditions! *slinks
away*
Imagine that conversation a thousand times over. That's Thy TampoBrain's life.
The Forbidden Question
Throughout the time we worked on Thy TampoBrain, most people were completely unsuspicious. However, there were certain people who kept on poking their noses where their noses had no business to be! Wah!
SUPER SAM: One of the major offenders was Shadow Scythe - it seems there wasn't a conversation with him that he didn't ask about the "super secret project".
Session Start: Saturday, May 20, 2006
Shadow Scythe: yay! so, what's you doing in flash?
Super Sam: Some super secret project.
Shadow Scythe: game or toon?
Super Sam: Super secret
Shadow Scythe: I will just have to read your mind...
WEEEAAAOOOWWWWWOOOAAAOOOEEEEWWW....
Shadow Scythe: {pause}
Super Sam: You wish. >.>
Shadow Scythe: yes. yes I do.
...
Super Sam: Sounds like I need to give you a quote
from this super secret project.
Shadow Scythe: yay!
Shadow Scythe: And then, I may or may not leave you
alone.
Super Sam: Probably not!
Shadow Scythe: yep!
Shadow Scythe: {The Homestar Runner Dance}
Super Sam: "What the-- Is that a Gokul in there?! How
the crap did that thing trap itself in there?"
Shadow Scythe: hmm... it's a Stinkoman 20X6 thing.
Super Sam: And that's all you'll ever know.
Shadow Scythe: GASP(eau)
...fast forward to July 1...
Shadow Scythe: how's flash?
Super Sam: Code-like.
Shadow Scythe: I love actionscript!
Super Sam: I've seen enough of it lately to code an
operating system. >.>
Shadow Scythe: What you mean?
Super Sam: You'll see.
Shadow Scythe: I WILL?
Super Sam: You'll all see!
Shadow Scythe: O RLY??!!?
Super Sam: You're fired.
Shadow Scythe: Wah.
...several minutes of talking about old Flash projects later...
Super Sam: Anydangway, my current Flash project will
surely be the greatest of them all.
Shadow Scythe: HAW??
Super Sam: Almost certainly the best actionscript
project.
Shadow Scythe: explain more!
Super Sam: I am unable to, due to it being a super
secret project!
Super Sam: {tackles}
Shadow Scythe: AUGH! {falls over}
...fast forward to September 9...
Shadow Scythe: I must know the super secret project!
Super Sam: Sorry, buds. I'm sworn to secrecy!
Shadow Scythe: TEH NOSE!
Shadow Scythe: what about a hint? Is it some kinda game?
Super Sam: Yes.
Shadow Scythe: yay~
Shadow Scythe: What kinda game is it?!
Super Sam: You just used up all your hints!
...fast forward to October 3...
Super Sam: I SHALL GIVE YOU A HINT AFTER THE SUPER SECRET PROJECT!
Super Sam: *ABOUT
Shadow Scythe: Oh, my!
Super Sam: You are going to go insane finding all the hidden easter eggs.
Super Sam: That is all.
Shadow Scythe: uh oh.
Shadow Scythe: So, you're working on that now?
Super Sam: I am.
Super Sam: If you wish, you may tell me some sort of super secret easter egg you want me to add!
Shadow Scythe: I don't really know what the project is about, so how can I think of an easter egg for it?
Super Sam: Wager a guess!
Super Sam: Gimme a word or two.
Shadow Scythe: Stinkoman type adventures?
Super Sam: It doesn't have to be in any way related to anything!
Shadow Scythe: hmm, okay.
Shadow Scythe: let's see... pizza blobs rain from the sky!
Super Sam: You sure you don't want anything more associated with you?!
Shadow Scythe: good question.
Shadow Scythe: A pop up with Nyjole. Except, he has a nose. And he's scratching it.
Super Sam: I shall try a slightly different approach: give me a quote on this super secret project (from either you or Nyjole)!
Shadow Scythe: Nyjole: "I PLAY GAME!"
Shadow Scythe: I dunno, I'm braindead at 7:45 AM.
Super Sam: Is dat your final answer?!
Shadow Scythe: no wai!
...the next day...
Shadow Scythe: Nyjole: I beat Super Sam's Super Secret game already. It lacked any easter eggs at all! Oh, wait- {static}
Super Sam: That's sounds almost perfect!
Shadow Scythe: I can think of more funny stuff at 8:08 PM than 7:30 AM.
Super Sam: Me too.
Okay, maybe some of it was my fault. Maybe all of it was my fault. WHO KNOWS?! The fact is, Shadow Scythe was clearly the main offender. I think. Over to you, Joshy!
While Super Sam usually inflicted this pain upon himself by not shutting up about his project, poor little Joshua kept on getting poked and prodded about Tampo Emails whether he wanted to or not. :P Questions regarding Tampo Email's inactivity became known amoung Joshua/Super Sam circles as the forbidden question, and Joshua always tried his hardest to never actually answer it.
Session Start: June 16, 2006
Mitchell: How is Tampo Email #45?
Joshua: Hiccup.
Joshua: Hiccup.
Joshua: Hic.
Joshua: Hic.
Joshua: Hiccup.
Joshua: Hiccup.
Joshua: Hic.
Joshua: Ahem...
Joshua: Sorry, were you saying something?
Mitchell: No. Nothing at all.
Session Start: July 21, 2006
Shim-Sham-Sam: So when are you planning to
continue OCE Tampo?
Joshua: *hic*
Joshua: *hic*
Joshua: *hiccup*
Joshua: *hiccup*
Joshua: *hic*
Joshua: *hic*
Joshua: *hiccup*
Joshua: *hiccup*
Joshua: Ahem. Excuse me.
Joshua: What were you saying?
Shim-Sham-Sam: OCE Tampo
Joshua: Oop. Didn't work.
Shim-Sham-Sam: Wah!
Joshua: It worked on Mitchell!
Shim-Sham-Sam: I'm no fool
...one showing of Mitchell chatlog later...
Shim-Sham-Sam: So let's talk about something
else
Joshua: Whoo.
Joshua: The plan is the lure the fans into a
false sense of security, where they think it's never
coming back!
Joshua: That's when you PUNCH 'EM!
And this final log speaks for itself.
Session Start: Friday, October 13, 2006
Joshua: Dang, Super Sam won't shut up about
some sort of super secret project. >.>
Shadow Scythe: I wonder what it could be!
Joshua: No idea either, huh?
Shadow Scythe: Nope. He told me this one
little thing, but not much. Lemme get out my
message history.
Joshua: Dot dot dot.
Shadow Scythe: For one thing, "Joshua != Super
Secret Project", but I guess I just figured that out
again. there was something else. ("!=" means "does not equal". :3 )
Joshua: Hmm.
Shadow Scythe: Oh, oh! Here's something.
Joshua: Fork it over, you.
Shadow Scythe: Shadow Scythe said:
what about a hint? Is it some kinda game?
Super Sam said:
Yes.
Shadow Scythe said:
What kinda game is it?!
Super Sam said:
You just used up all your hints! *plop*
Shadow Scythe: It also appears to have losta
easter eggs.
Joshua: A game, huh?
Shadow Scythe: Looks like a winner to me!
Joshua: Almost certainly in Flash.
Shadow Scythe: What else would it be?
Joshua: It'll probably win Fanstuff of the Month.
