knowing what I know of peter david, that might have been his precise line of thinking

Peter David can suck two out of three of my cock and balls

gellaho

Fuck you too, Peter David

hype slug jakesy

Hahahaha

Dr Shark

Fuck this. And fuck Hitler too. I'm changing my name back

GDC

Fuck you. Nothing happened and nothing mattered. The End.

gellaho

How dare you sign this

hype slug jakesy

Good to have you back, FancyHitler

gellaho

God, that was exhausting

Dr Shark

Good to be back

Hey!

hype slug jakesy

Wait wrong name

Haha

Dr Shark

Eh, close enough

gellaho

That was only 155 pages long

Fuck

Dr Shark

It's dead now. We can take comfort in that

GDC

In conclusion, laser tag is a land of contrasts.

Dr Shark

Between good and evil?

gellaho

Well, I defeated Photon: In Search of Mom, I guess

gellaho

I have no idea what this cover is supposed to be depicting

Dr Shark

Thanks again @gellaho

GDC

Nice of Ron Jeremy to cameo on it, though.

dr

WHAT.

GDC

Between two races that were not able to get along.

Dr Shark

Right. Galactus

JCantrell

That's really the basis of all war isn't it?

gellaho

It was a lot, right?

gellaho

It was some sort of Cold War metaphor, I'm thinking

JCantrell

"I've got to write these shitty books to sell laser tag, I know, kids love E E Smith, I'll just rip him off"

gellaho

Although it's hard for my brain to actually process much right now

gellaho

Your story progression can't be (1) Hitler, (2) Some stupid minor political intrigue, (3) Universal warfare between two cosmic entities that created the universe

JCantrell

I can't get over how much this story borrows from lensman, the obscure pulp sci Fi space opera from the 30s that only I care about in the 2020. Like, there's some minor differences but it's enough alike that it can't be a coincidence

Hes a comic writer he could be ripping off green lantern ripping off lensman

gellaho

This next one sounds annoying too

JCantrell

Actually I bet @Old Man Brendan knows about lensman.

JCantrell

Ripping off an at that point like 50 year old series didn't work out, do know he's cribbing from an old radio show

gellaho

I hate amnesia, especially "oh no, nobody remembers me shit"

JCantrell

Wait no he's going for it's a wonderful life

gellaho

Yeah

gellaho

It's just pointless, everyone is going to remember. So why go through it

Dr Shark

Still, at least no one rhymed in this book

JCantrell

I mean, this whole series is pointless

Its a laser tag sci fi epic

GDC

I think this is a form of alliterative verse popular with anglo-saxon poets.

gellaho

So it's hundreds of years old?

gellaho

I disagree, there's almost no laser tag

JCantrell

Well yeah, that's because the writer is bad at his one job

GDC

They literally said this is the last starfighter but with laser tag.

That was dialog in the book.

gellaho

He did write a book about a psychic warrior who was instead a quaker pacifist. So maybe this is his thing

hype slug jakesy

The ending was one step away from just being “it was all a dream”

Dr Shark

Think that'll be how the next one ends?

hype slug jakesy

Knowing Peters’ affinity for references, I would expect the response from percival to be “I used to read Word Up Magazine”

gellaho

"Tivia had brought on the heartbreak, just like Def Leppard sang about."

Silver Cyborg Greg (a wizard)

So that was pretty dumb and bad but I think Photon deserves another shot

Best 2 out of 3?

gellaho

I mean, I've read three

gellaho

But I also spent way too much money on these signed copies

gellaho

So they will be read

Silver Cyborg Greg (a wizard)

Best 4 out of 7?
