The Real Reason the Colossus Couldn't stop the Iceni at the Knossos...
I can't do anything useful in terms of making mods...so I just supply comic relief.

I took inspiration for this from one of the cartoons on the SCP website...I just don't remember which...

Sensors:  "Captain!  The Iceni has jumped in off our port side!"
Captain:  "Gunnery Control, fire for effect!!!"
Gunnery:  "I can't, sir."
Captain:  "Why not?!?  Have we been sabotaged?"
Gunnery:  "No, sir.  Windows has suffered a fatal exception."
Captain:  "Damn!  Maintenence, you didn't install Service Pack 2K, did you?"
Maintenence:  "I'm afraid we did, sir."
Captain:  "Crap!  What am I gonna tell Command,  that the janitors screwed up Fire Control?  I'll lose my captain's chair for this!"
Communications:  "Why not just tell them we were sabotaged?  We can smash up the consoles after the battle."
Captain:  "That's a great idea!  Send the message now!"
Comms:  "Command, Fire Control has been sabotaged!  We can't open fire!  We need 30 seconds to bring the auxilaries on-line!"
Command:  "We don't have that kind of time Colossus!  All other vessels, fire on the Iceni!"
Comms (to Crew):  "Whew!  Captain, I think they bought it.  We should be safe from court marshal now."
Crew:  *Cheers*
Command:  "Bought what?  And what's that about avoiding a court marshal Colossus?"
Captain:  "Oh God..."

I hope you have enjoyed the latest rendition of Tyrian's Theatre!  Join me next time for my next production!  Miss it and you'll wish wish you were jettisonned out an airlock!   :D

This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union Address occurred during the same week.  This is an ironic juxtaposition of events--one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication, while the other involves a groundhog.

Nowhere near as good as my stories of the effect of Spacecrack on Command.

Got a chuckle.  ^^;  Nice to see something Freespace 2 related on this forum for once.

The Admiral was high on Spackcrack.  The Captain had to take over.   :ick:

Yeah, I used that one for inspiration.  Just thought I would build a bit on it...

You should have seen how mine dropped when the GTD Wolf and Node Wars forums were deleted.

No, it's been deleted. There's an archive of it over at Penguinbomb, though.

Story-based RPG based upon the running of entire empires. It was started by Shrike, went a few games here, moved to Penguinbomb, then slowly died.

It ended when all the players were killed by a massive n00b invasion of force unlike any ever before seen in that sector of the galaxy.

Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.
