Over at the PCG blog again, a Mr Half Loaf 2 sent this in, and I spent the remaining ten minutes of my lunch insensible with hysterics. And it’s four minutes long.
This whole clip just incapacitates me every time. The timing is perfect, Bob Page and Harley Filben both take on magnificently surreal new roles. Walton Simons is still kind of a dick. It even ends beautifully.
There’s a Malkavian mod for Deus Ex that messes with the dialogue similarly, but it errs on the side of purely surreal which makes it slightly less funny to me. Still, it looks like it turns Deus Ex into one of the most hilariously bizarre adventure games ever. Manderly is a pigeon, and the drinks machine is Agent Orange.
The ominous silence for a while here was because I’m tinkering with a dark, lengthy and ancient post from my drafts folder that I’ll hopefully put up this week.
"I hope you're not- Get the hell out of here Denton!
This has inspired me to replay it with Malkavian mod.
Slamhound: Man, I don't even like Deus Ex, but this has me reaching for my install disk.
Pentadact: The long pause before "S'cool" is just unbearably funny. Bob Page for president.
J3553: Old Men ruling the world...
x25killa: "I like to pick my nose"
"About time you ****"
"Don't **** me"
Cmdt_Carpenter: Man, this makes me wish I had played Deus Ex.
I'm glad I can still enjoy it.
"Old men...Are the future."
"What are we waiting for? I got a pistol"
"In case there's trouble: We're the police!"
"I think I'll take your weapons."
I love the informant.
"Don't shoot. You're too late. I surrender. Don't believe? It's all in the numbers."
"Do you think you know better than FEMA what to do with the Ambrosia shipment?"
"It's already on its way to the people."
"Nope"
"Damn"
CloakRaider: Old men.

An unknown php script is randomly causing 15-second chokings of my server's CPU, ultimately hogging so much of its time that my host suspend this entire website for a few minutes. So I've snipped all non-essential elements until I can diagnose it. Apologies if you've encountered one of these CPU Exceeded screens. Believe it or not, what would help most with my diagnosis is lots and lots of people visiting James as often as possible over the next few days. Rolo desserts are also effective.
that's terror
