Hi, this is me, ClockworkPsychologist. Or at least, this is my Pesterchum handle. It’s the name I use when I am talking to my friends online PD: Yup! :) This is pastaDog. She is my online friend. She likes anime and crap, but I never got her obsession. We know each other from real life. PW: I was born ready, YOU DO NOT QUESTION THE MIGHTY POTATO! This is PotatoWalrus. He is a nice guy when you get to know him. I met him online and since then he has been my cannon fodder and my hitman in my online games. I am just in the background, doing most of the damage. I was not amused by his remark. DH: Lets go ahead and launch the server. Remember your server players! This is DevilsHandmaid. I met her online as well. In real life, she is kind of introverted and soft spoken. But online, she is probably the most assertive and perverted person I know. She is pretty much the female Notch. So, I inserted my copy of the SBURB beta. I can’t believe that I actually got copies of these! Of course it’s hard to get a copy of a beta, but this SBURB beta is kinda popular. I remember having a similar discussion with DH on Pesterchum on the same subject, she said something about fate. Of course, being a religious man, I took it with a grain of salt. When it comes to my terms, there is no fate. Everything happens on God’s whims. Anyhoo, I launch the download client. It was somewhat hypnotizing to watch. In fact, it didn’t take long to load at all. CP: Wow! I can’t believe how fast this thing loads. DH: I think that merits for the game’s quality. PD: No kidding, this thing was fast! Soon, the menu screen popped up. It only had two options. The first said “Play Game” and the second is “Play Game: Server Player”. I knew that DH was my server player, so I clicked the first option. It said “Searching for Server Player..” on my screen once I clicked the option and it hesitated. It seemed to be loading or somthing. Soon, it showed a name under a skull-like symbol. CP: Does anyone know a Hannah Medraco? PD: No. PW: Why do you ask that in the middle of nowhere? CP: Nevermind. DH: I think I know who that is. CP: Who? There really wasn’t a response after that, like she knew but didn’t wish to tell me. Anyhoo, I turn my attention back to the SBURB game. The thing on the screen was quite peculiar. You see, the character featured on the screen was none other than me. I get up off my computer and move around, keeping my focus on the screen. Whenever I moved on the screen, the little on-screen representation of me moved as well. CP: Please tell me I’m not the only one seeing this. DH: Seeing what? The man on the screen moving around? CP: That’s ME. DH: O_o PD: You’re the video game character? PW: Dude, that’s messed up. Check to see if there is any cameras set up in your room or some shit. CP: I’m pretty sure that’s illegal, dude. DH: Here, go downstairs, I placed something for you. I grab my phone and go downstairs. There is an app on it that allows me to chat with DH, PW, and PD. As I exit the stairs I notice a giant machine standing in my living room. It looks like a capsule, but I’m not sure what it is. CP: Is this because of the game? DH: Yup, I spawned it in. PW: You gotta help me here, what’s going on over there? CP: DH spawned a huge-ass machine in my living room. PD: Is that okay? PW: Of course not. PW: Man, you're so screwed. CP: I know that, but shouldn't we see what it does before my mom kills me because of this thing? DH: It’s your funeral. I pull the wheel attached to the capsule-looking thing. No matter how hard I tried it wouldn't budge. Eventually, DH had a hand in the machine, and it popped open like a can of TAB. CP: Nice work, DH! DH: I only offer the best. PD: Well, me and PW will start our server later. PW: Well, PD wants to make sure you’re okay. CP: Of course, your commentary is much supported! DH: And what are you gonna do, just sit there? PD: :( PW: Harsh. Out of the machine pops a circle of ethereal light, a enchanting light blue color. Utterly confused, I go to see what it is. It’s so mysterious in a weird-ball-of-light kinda way. CP: What is that thing? DH: Dunno CP: Very helpful… PD: What does it look like? CP: A thing. PW: Then it’s probably a thing. DH: Hold on, I’ll look it up. PW: She’s gone, quick! PW: Let’s talk shit about her! CP: *Rolls eyes* PD: *Hits PW with something heavy* PW: Ow, watch it! DH: I’m back, I searched it up on the MSPAINT Wiki. CP: ? PD: Don’t leave us in suspense! DH: It’s call a Kernelsprite, you’re supposed to throw something in it. I smile and I go into my back yard and grab a shovel. I then get a tiny coffin with the initials FE on it. It was my dead cat, Fluffy Edward. I quickly throw it in the kernelsprite, then the sprite takes the form of my dead cat. Well, sort of. It has a ghostly tail and is holding the coffin. It’s still in it’s deathbed clothing, a tuxedo and such. I stared up at it. It was amazing! CP: DH, DH, come look at my wonderful creation! DH: Kind of busy trying to save your ass here. PD: ? DH: Look outside, I’ve been able to manage the small group. DH: But everyone I smash one spawns in! CP: DH, I think I need to take care of this. Outside was a group of cats. They were rabid cats trying to get past a poorly made fortress. She dissembled the fortress. DH: Have at them.
