Gally posted:I'm 30 and I loving love Gushers. They know no age bound. Gushers are gross gummy poo poo that adhere to your teeth like glue and their juice is a slick grease that tastes no different from the gummy part, so the only thing it contributes is an unpleasant cold texture like you're chewing on a slug and its innards burst open. If you want to go for a classic General Mills/Betty Crocker kid snack you really can't go wrong with Fruit Roll-Ups. Those things own.

I'm guessing that the Empress is still, somehow, Betty Crocker. Or that trolls are somehow involved in the baking empire, given that Jane's talking about being SURROUNDED BY JOKERS  Also 2X3PRONGDAY sounds like a reference to the Empress, assuming she keeps the same weapon that Feferi did.

And he is clearly James Bond in that picture. At least I think it is, by how he holds his gun in that totally dainty way. Mr. Pumroy fucked around with this message at 15:33 on Nov 11, 2011 |

YF-23 posted:It does seem pretty weird that sburb would be a 1-player game in this universe. But perhaps like the trolls were mislead to believe they'd head two different sessions, Jane is being mislead to believe she'll be the only player, while all the other kid ancestors get their hands on the very same copy thanks to Weird Time poo poo. It says she was the only one of her kind invited to test Sburb and the Crocker business is described as a CHERISHED MULTIGLOBAL EMPIRE so maybe she is just the only human among a sea of aliens who happens to be testing Sburb. All her human friends will either be too cool, ironic, or into fisticuffs to care about videogames.

YF-23 posted:I dunno, I don't really think the Earth's now inhabited by both humans and trolls. Well I didn't say that, because it would be silly and sound like something that would come out of a fanfiction of Homestuck. I'm just saying, 1) it says she's the only one of her KIND in the alpha test and 2) Betty Crocker apparently is an interplanetary corporation so there's the possibility that there are offscreen aliens participating in the test. I doubt we'd see anything about those aliens, just like we never learned anything about the aliens the trolls conquered back in their old dead universe. I'm betting this whole section is going to hit the fast forward button until we get to the parts that advance the overall story rather than get bogged down in the details of what's different about this alternate Earth.

So it sounds like the gimmicks are some kind of outrageous dialects, with Jake speaking in some kind of early 20th-century great white hunter patois, Jane an antebellum southern kind of thing and the Mom kid will be a complete headache. I know this won't have any bearing with anything but this: quote:GT: It is for your grandfather simply to be *relayed* to him by my grandmother. A joint gift to him from she and i. quote:FTC: just like we are... :o)

Android Blues posted:Sending the bunny is like, the catalyst to loving everything up, so it seems like in terms of LE's long game, getting him to do this might well be part of the plan. I thought that but it seemed like such another obvious JAKE IS WORKING FOR ENGLISH thing that I just discounted it out of hand. It'll be interesting to see how his story plays out. There will come a point where I am so skeptical of that little bit of speculation that Lord English will be able to pat Jake on the head and honk out "good going helping me with my plan young man you were very helpful. With my plan. Lord English's plan." and I'll still say "nuh uh proves nothing."

Jane is heiress to a multiglobal empire, so she's got license to smug it up a bit. I mean once you strip away the corporate aspects she's basically a space princess. Even then I don't really see where you get smug from. She's dealing with someone who claims to be sending a bunny to their antecedents via the past. It would be weird to me if she wasn't a bit incredulous about that. She is a bit off though, cuz she apparently spaces out at the sight of the sky (maybe it's from being subliminally influenced by banner ads) and being outside is grounds for getting in trouble with Dad.

Gabriel Pope posted:Maybe spacing out at the sky is related to some kind of suppressed memory of Skaia? Either from some kind of half-awake Prospit shenanigans, or leaking pre-scratch memories (Nanna did mention playing The Game in her youth somehow, so it seems likely that there's some memory leaking involved somewhere along the line.) Could be. She definitely seems to have some hint of prophecy when she talks to Jake about her dream. The Empress might be trying to suppress her dreamself with those STAY ASLEEP messages.

I'm really glad that Robert Blaker made a solo album, I've been waiting for one (and now I know he's released his own albums independent of HS thanks to that link posted last page) because I could tell from his track on volume 5, Valhalla, that he made the kind of music I liked, which is lots of loving percussion. And that's what Tomb of the Ancestors is. Lots of loving percussion.

I watched Weekend at Bernies 2 as a kid and thought throughout the whole movie that Bernie was played by Burt Reynolds because he was the only man I knew in Hollywood who had facial hair and I thought that everyone in every movie who had facial hair was Burt Reynolds. Like, Hollywood was only allowed to have one guy with a mustache at a time. And Burt inherited his role as Hollywood's sole mustache from previous mustached star, Tom Selleck.

He's clearly storing A MILLION TONS of shaving cream. For the day he becomes an adventurer. An adventurer needs to know how to maintain a handsome five o clock shadow, after all.SynthOrange posted:So they arent living in the 20th century either. Neat. (well, neither are we, I guess!) When Jake says 20th century I think he's just confusing the time travel issue. That was when their grandparents were alive, so he's assuming that when he's sending the bunny to Jade he's sending it to the early 20th. He apparently has no idea that he's sending it to a doomed universe to an entirely different version of Jade. Which is why his machine eats up so much energy, but he doesn't realize that because he still thinks he's just sending it to the past of his own universe, not the past of a completely separate universe.

Jake should really get excited about that whole paving the way for gods thing. A comic buff like him would be reminded of the Silver Surfer being the herald of Galactus, and that worked out really well! Seriously if I weren't certain she that she was referring to the kids that line would be sinister as gently caress.

I'm inclined to think that she's referring to the kids because she is already filling her misdirection quota by dint of her existence, which raises a whole lot of questions. We don't know her motivation yet but I'm reasonably comfortable with assuming she's referring to the four godtier kids in this instance. I imagine that Jade and John, since they took the jump directly through the fourth wall, might end up on Earth while Rose and Dave will go directly to the new A2 session since they're navigating through outer god territory with, presumably, the trolls.

That's like, the big thing in science fiction, multiple universes. And if you're into irl science String Theory almost mandates that there be multiple universes, so as strange as an idea it might seem to you it's an idea that's very much in these days.
