Man, that was a pain. Yo, sorry for disappearing for about a week on everybody. We had a Metaroid completely delete all the information off our computers--and it's totally J's fault, by the way--so we've spent all this time trying to get everything back online.

But in the meantime, I found an emulator for a game I'd played way back before getting stuck in Hyperspace, so I'm going to try and play it again, especially now that there's playthroughs and FAQs to getting one of the best glitches in the game.

...Huh. "Beneath the seas, beyond the flame, off the coast where the lost beast came, to bring the world misery and shame, a piece of the world is missing." Sounds ominous.

[shrug]

Oh well.

I should've pegged you for the type to mess around with that kind of thing.

[boostup4beetbuster]

What, the game?

[sumofallreds]

Yeah. Never saw the point of playing them.

[He was very sheltered. As in...he had to shelter himself so he had no time to play them.]

[boostup4beetbuster]

It's fun when I don't have anything to build.

Oh, here's another line of that poem: "The path you should have never crossed, the Beast exacts a heavy cost, the number of the Beast is lost, you will know it by its hissing."

[sumofallreds]

Odd thing to have in a game.

[He thinks for a second. He has seen something like this on walks through town.]

It's not based on some kinda horror book, is it?

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yeah, I know. And I definitely don't remember it.

There's this glitch in the game. Sometimes, it messes up your data, but if you get it right, you can get tons of copies of whatever's in the sixth slot of your inventory--which is why I'm trying to find it, so I can get tons of the most expensive and useful item. But it's been a while since I played, so I looked up the info on how to do it, but I'm getting "The bones from hell you cannot tame, devour your life and all your fame, that is the price to play its game, and all while you're reminiscing."

[sumofallreds]

Weird.

What is the game supposed to be?

[Inventory? Didn't sound like anything that should be in a game. Weren't they all just mindless point-grabs?]

[boostup4beetbuster]

Capture and train creatures, fight with them, try to win gym battles and be the best. Not super hard.

Man, maybe I should look more into this. It's probably just a hoax, but I don't want to screw it up so badly I lose all my progress.

[sumofallreds]

Doesn't sound like any game I've ever heard of.

[Might be interesting...]

You might. It doesn't sound like it fits the tone at all.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yeah. Worst-case scenario, it's just a hoax or a game mod or something.

[sumofallreds]

Unless it's something the comm just decided to glitch up.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yeah. Looks like there's some videos on it, so looks like I've got another project this weekend.

[sumofallreds]

Your commander gives you a lot of leniency I see.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Like I'd listen if they told me no.

[sumofallreds]

Heh. You might make a good pirate.

[boostup4beetbuster]

[pause]

Well, you guys DO have the occasional robot.

[sumofallreds]

And then there's the bird...

[boostup4beetbuster]

You're pirates. Of course you've got a bird.

[sumofallreds]

[He'll push the mirror he's been looking in towards Navi.]

Not usually like this, I take?

[boostup4beetbuster]

No, but that's an impressive bit of robotics, I've got to say.

[sumofallreds]

I wish we knew anything about him. Even Doc can't figure anything out.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Much as I'd love to take a look, I've got to admit that the technology looks a little too advanced for me to work with without the possibility of breaking him.

[sumofallreds]

You'd have to get a hold of him first. He's a slippery bird.

[boostup4beetbuster]

I'll borrow J's butterfly net.

[sumofallreds]

He can peck through steel cables. Good look with that.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Good. I was worried it'd be easy.
