Billiard was doomed if he took the assignment, and his world was doomed if he didn't. But what choice did he have?

PhysWiz vs the Wanking Wizard

Ah yes, we physicists and our classic orange jockstraps

Velo

If you refuse to kill the nazis at least do this

John

Dr. Hall needs surgery because they outlawed glasses apparently.

noiretoon's funny dollar 💵

Send all of them! Just because they're lower percentages it's not like they're suddenly busy

Brendo

I concur, he shows all the signs of OH WOW LOOK AT THAT BIRD

gellaho

Just sucking out all our energy

Velo

If he says "theorem" once I will strangle him

He just "um actually"ed

Brendo

69% odds of success is 100% odds of success.

PhysWiz vs the Wanking Wizard

A slug in disguise!

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

Authors continue to not understand probablity 2000 year streak unbroken.

PhysWiz vs the Wanking Wizard

In their defense, the vast majority of humans don't understand probability

gellaho

It's like a Russian resting doll of universes

Brendo

Is the twist that biddies be cold-blooded [when scorned]?

I know I'm a bad Green Lantern fan.

noiretoon's funny dollar 💵

I hate the 'shine' as a term for movies almost as much as kiddie keeper for TV

Brendo

Billiard vs. Galactus!!

gellaho

The universe force field, sure

noiretoon's funny dollar 💵

Wait, this is the plot of Anachronox

Brendo

This is the plot of Gattaca.

Wait no...the 13th Floor

Wrong underrated 90s scifi

gellaho

What

Velo

Billiard tell him to shut the fuck up

Pretend he's a woman and punch him

John

"Have you heard of multiple universes?"

"You mean weird time travel?"

"No, I mean there is more than one universe."

"Oh, makes sense."

This is bananas

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

The twist is that actually the Arisian breeding program needed the Lensmen to not fuck each other reproductively until the time was right and they could create the best psychic babies and women could probably do just fine as psychic space cops.

Clarissa MacDougall stay winning.

PhysWiz vs the Wanking Wizard

Are these universes separated along a 5th dimension? Or do they have physical boundries like walls?

gellaho

This goes on for a while

Anyway, somebody's making black holes

PhysWiz vs the Wanking Wizard

No stars = no mass, it's just science

Brendo

Not bad!

gellaho

And what a tremendous hole it was

Brendo

Yeah, the author of this book.

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

Yeah the Lensman books are rad, do reccommend if you like that kind of pulp sci fi.

Velo

This is going to be another headcrasher but instead of MaxCool's aggressively flacid hog we're getting this shit for 200 pages

Kill the science nerd, he's holding the plot hostage

gellaho

Sucking it all out through the hole

Velo

How is this still happening

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

Hahahahha the foreigners from another universe done tuk our potential energy!

Thanks Obama.

gellaho

Science says things get big in the big universe

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

SPACE! KAIJU! WAR!

Tom, Wizard Columbo

Almost like we didn't need to mention it!

Brendo

This is how you would fuel time-travel though. The collective energy of an entire universe to roll time backwards.

I hate when the hacks and I have the same plots but they actually finish their books.

gellaho

Oh, also time go fast

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

THEY TUK OUR JERBS! AND OUR ENERGY!

Brendo

They absolutely did this storyline in Green Lantern a couple years ago.

They did Bootleg DC Galactus and went back to the outer shell universe, where they were tiny.

Tom, Wizard Columbo

Wait that wouldn't mean you won't come back

gellaho

Your mission: push our universe away from their universe

Tom, Wizard Columbo

That would mean you could go into the other universe, complete the mission and come back in one second

Brendo

The line between hard sci-fi and isekai is electron-thin

Brendo

Your mummy would.

Velo

Science Jockstrap Man is an idiot

gellaho

Adventure!

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

Big deal.

PhysWiz vs the Wanking Wizard

What year was this book written, again?

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

This universe sucks,.

Its got nerd slugs.

gellaho

I done found the original receipt in here

Velo

1976

PhysWiz vs the Wanking Wizard

I am wanted for 69 sex crimes, and want to keep it there. But also I need to get out of the universe

Velo

Oh damn you have a first edition

I don't think there was a second one, but nice!

Brendo

Some nerd scooped this up the second it came out

OR

Velo

Oh no

Brendo

Some nerd from a larger universe time-traveled here to pluck it instantly

Velo

That's a sad OR

gellaho

And now: something about a space seed

Velo

Oh that's not the OR I was thinking of

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

heheheheh. Seed.

gellaho

Off to the next universe in a seed

Velo

This was more exciting when the slugs without personality were involved

gellaho

Part 2

Velo

How the hell

gellaho

Billiard has been posing as an alternate universe human for 6 months

PhysWiz vs the Wanking Wizard

Everyone in our universe is just like "That asshole bought it! Flew himself right in to a black hole"

gellaho

Done learned from the TV

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

Just say youre from Space Canada.

Refuse to elaborate.

gellaho

Get yourself a secret police that can do everything

Velo

This book has more nazi factions than women

Tom, Wizard Columbo

Nobody knew infiltrating an alien universe could be so complicated

gellaho

They also have classifieds

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

Almost as many as actual nazis.

gellaho

A great fake name

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

This universe has a real interesting version of Craigslist fuck ads, but we wont get to see them.

Tom, Wizard Columbo

Haha "there are an untold million ways this universe is unknowably different from my own. Anyway I was browsing the lonely heart ads in the newspaper when suddenly..."

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

World Building! ROUND 2!

gellaho

Those small bubbles are dangerous

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

If the author plays his cards right he can just keep doing nested universes like a matryoshka doll and never have to stop world building.

Tom, Wizard Columbo

Wow a small bubbler. Good thing he found that or else... Well, we all know what a bubbler can do

gellaho

My definition of conservatively dressed wouldn't ever include the word "nipples," but that's just me

gellaho
Tom, Wizard Columbo

Yeah in some parts of Australia a drinking fountain is called a bubbler

PhysWiz vs the Wanking Wizard

That's a Midwesternism

gellaho

Although, Billiard seems to be rocking the Zardoz, so who knows

gellaho

This is the typo in the preview. Not "Goldpaper," but Goldaper

that mfing chloe motherfucker

The Gold Aper

Really loves NFTs

Tom, Wizard Columbo

Why are you giving your real name

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

James Bond shit.

PhysWiz vs the Wanking Wizard

Billiard, because of the balls, you see

that mfing chloe motherfucker

Is his name toilet or is it bar pool, you decide

gellaho

New stabs

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

"the God"?

Tom, Wizard Columbo

That's how you know we're in a different universe

gellaho

You gotta swap out your gods every once in a while

Velo

No time for tension, we spent too long with Dr. Science Jockstrap

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

Ohhhhhhh its like a God King situation.

PhysWiz vs the Wanking Wizard

"We are ruled by a rapper, The God"

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

"His flow and his policies are tyrannical!"

Worse. Pitbull.

gellaho

I'm not entirely sure what happens next here, but he's flying a crew to the remote mining planet holding the HQ for the revolutionaries

He's got a child soldier as his copilot

gellaho

He notices the child soldier is too relaxed on reentry

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

That teen boy? SPACE STALIN!

gellaho

Then they get hit by a giant sky hammer?

Velo

If that teen hadn't been so lazy this could have been avoided

gellaho

And then, when the traitorous(?) child soldier tries to escape pod out, he Vulcan nerve pinches the kid into a seizure

Velo

DAMN YOU, TRAITOR CHILD!

PhysWiz vs the Wanking Wizard

wtf

gellaho

Then Billiard brilliantly maneuvers the ship despite it having four giant holes in it

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

WITH HIS LIFE!

Brendo

I drank from the fountains in Portland my first evening downtown, then immediately realized the population after 5pm was 90% methheads fistfighting ghosts who probably considered the hallmark bubblers their main bath. Anyway, I died.

gellaho

Here's an unnecessarily long paragraph about seeing a look

Brendo

This was the ten seconds America tried to convert to metric.

gellaho

Move aside, woman!

Brendo

Renri Goldaper, Baton Rouge Scooby-Doo villain

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

Has the hero at any point so far done an action movie quip like

"Never play Billiard, bitch"?

Brendo

Are the redhats maga or hackers?

Velo

No but he has violenced a woman

PhysWiz vs the Wanking Wizard

No, he beats women and children and drives into balck holes

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

So MAGA

gellaho

girl

gellaho

Secret police

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

Misogyny claims refuted

PhysWiz vs the Wanking Wizard

"Hahaha, mysogyny transcends universes"

gellaho

Go back to Wayne's World, Lieutenant

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

So this guy is a general?

PhysWiz vs the Wanking Wizard

He's whatever he needs to be at the time

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

Or a president?

gellaho

I repeat he did not notice her figure or look at her tits

Velo

I believe his official rank is "Scab"

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

Im not sure the guy they brought in to train and lead troops on the ground fits into a chain of command enough to be able to just countermand something but whatever.

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

pretty sure only a general or a president can overrule a colonel

Velo

True but he's wearing a jockstrap and nothing else

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

Lmao great narration

gellaho

How many of you young idealists do I have to kill before you respect me?

Velo

And by "every" we mean "all two"

gellaho

To be fair, there are also only three named male characters

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

sure, women are either 10/10 babes or hideous crones, we all know this

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

Sometimes both!

gellaho

Goldaper has managed to get completely smashed in about five minutes

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

in space you get drunk quicker.

Probably.

I dunno.

gellaho

My fifteen year old child soldier brother deserved respect, dammit!

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

Your bitch hearted brother tried to pull the ejection lever and got hisself pinched for his trouble.

gellaho

Kill-alert is on the fritz

Tom, Wizard Columbo

Billiard's neural-net processor expertly assessed the situation

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

lol I do love a good "Pussy aliens dont do war anymore so humans have to show them how to do good violence again."

gellaho

Billiard realizes his only solution to retain the respect of his men: murder the drunkard

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

Lmao what the fuck

PhysWiz vs the Wanking Wizard

I was not ready for this book

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

What?

Lol.

Billiard.........Bill.......

No?

Velo

Bill this is dumber than usual

Tom, Wizard Columbo

Luckily he's spent 3 months in this universe so he's an expert in their culture

gellaho

I'm not really sure why this pilot is now superhuman, but sure

Velo

Bill our last hero spent 400 pages complaining about his dick and he still had a better plan than this

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

Yeah i dont think simply kicking this guys ass is going to work, Bill.

Velo

Kick his ass so hard he dies

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

Actually challenging his authority is going to really undermine what youre trying to do.

FancyShark

YOU GET IT!?

gellaho

Jesus H Christ

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

And now everyone watching is under the impression that the chain of command is unimportant, as long as you can beat your superior officer to death.

gellaho

Seen less brutal Jason Voorhees kills, dude

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

Jack bauer looks calm and rational right now

Tom, Wizard Columbo

And just for fun, what IS he trying to do? He had an infiltration mission to save his universe and now he's joined a revolution seemingly on a whim

PhysWiz vs the Wanking Wizard

"Reject my book idea will you, Goldaper!?"

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

We're playing on Ork rules now. Biggest guy rules.

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

I think his intent is to use the revolution to derail the project doing fucky things to the universe.

Velo

See, Herbert, this is how you get people to not like your protagonist

gellaho

Now he's the undertaker

PhysWiz vs the Wanking Wizard

Yeah The God is eating our universe's energy and Billiard is there to stop it

gellaho

See young idealists, I'm perfect to overthrow your brutal theocracy

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

To be fair, who hasnt wanted to do this to their new boss at least once?

Velo

Hold on I know how to answer this question.

Tom, Wizard Columbo

I mean I guess, but it seems he hasn't thought about his actual mission in awhile

Velo

@Delta is just axing questions has Jack Reacher ever beaten one of his bosses to death?

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

I like that the author made it very clear: this was a murder.

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

Tho hey Bill? Do you have the network of connections that would enable your revolutionary movement to like.....continue functioning?

FancyShark

Hi, @Rachel, Grand Inquisitor !

Tom, Wizard Columbo

This is one of those gore reference images that gave Mortal Kombat devs ptsd

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

Like you basically answered an ad in Soldier of Fortune.

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

It was not a manslaughter beating that accidentally went too far. It wasn't necessary to defend himself. It was a coldly calculated decision to murder this guy.

gellaho

So, hey there, admiral. We haven't met, but I already executed someone. Cool?

PhysWiz vs the Wanking Wizard

Followed by "who's next?"

FancyShark

Doomguy thinks this is a bit excessive

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

So Admiral, this is where you throw this asshole out an airlock.

And try again.

Velo

"That's so cool bro" the Admiral said, visibly erect. "I love it when people kill my subordinates with their bear hands."

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

You do not want an officer just thinking hes allowed to execute other officers unilaterally.

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

Oh man

gellaho

I find your brutal methods intriguing

Velo

Admiral Murder Johnson was a tough but fair leader

FancyShark

If this is what 73% chance of success looks like, what the hell was going to happen with the others?

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

I just thought of a great way of getting into management

PhysWiz vs the Wanking Wizard

It is a violent revolutionary/terrorist army

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

Affordable squid ink flavored milk in an economical pouch! BRILLIANT!

gellaho

In conclusion: I murdered that guy for no reason

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

I feel like even the Taliban would expect you to exercise more restraint

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

That makes it even MORE important, you dont want your lads getting big ideas and if youre going to have an effective fighting force, you absolutely have to have discipline.

gellaho

And they'll be filled with pride when they see my battle thong

Tom, Wizard Columbo

Remember how the cover art showed conan the barbarian fighting a swamp troll with a tree branch? Wtf is this book?

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

"It also might make them throw hand grenades into my tent."

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

This is specifically straight pride.

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

"Im gonna play it by ear."

gellaho

Part 3: Broads are only in the military to get fucked

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

Hey Bill? Also author? Eat an entire dick.

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

women amirite

they just need dick

gellaho

Santha

Tom, Wizard Columbo

Always getting fucked and demanding security and so on

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

Alot of people do but that doesnt mean they cant shoot a motherfucker dead.

Velo

Well let's not go that far

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

Alarms are going off in my head

FancyShark

The "something different" is she's Goldaper in disguise

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

"Huh, I guess me strangling that colonel made her horny."

Tom, Wizard Columbo

It's tits, isn't it Billiard. The something different about her is tits

Velo

Not even a good disguise. Just a nametag with "Samantha" misspelled on it

gellaho

Seeing the dump gets them really horny

gellaho
FancyShark

He still looks like he did after the beating

PhysWiz vs the Wanking Wizard

"I wish these uniforms didn't advertise boners so prominently" thought Billiard "Killing Goldaper was a bit awkward"

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

Those lumps made him so curvy

FancyShark

You're...really going to admit that, Bill?

Velo

He's still dead

FancyShark

Very

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

HAHA! THE WOMAN GAVE HIM FEEEEELINNNNNNNNGS!

Velo

This is a real fucked up Weekend at Bernie's / Wilson from Castaway situation

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

Lmao he doesnt know how they ended up there

gellaho

Get it?

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

Short term memory loss.

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

I.e., it's beyond the ability of the writer

PhysWiz vs the Wanking Wizard

He's gonna be real sad when the author kills her off

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

PENIS

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

Boy who could have anticipated that the chapter that starts on misogyny would proceed like

this.

Tom, Wizard Columbo

Oh no Billiard, your steely resolve has been compromised by her soft womanly flesh. Your chances of succeeding the mission are down by 4%!

gellaho

She's very concerned she thinks he's easy

Delta is just axing questions

More than once. He's also shot a couple of them when he was in the army.

FancyShark

Not since Scarrow have I had such a vivid picture of an author

gellaho

She doesn't sleep with every man she watches slowly and methodically beat someone to death

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

Yup, this is women alright

Velo
Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

The author understands us completely

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

Set his ungrateful cock on fi

re

GODDAM CAT

Delta is just axing questions

Depending on how you define "his boss" reacher has merced a bunch of his employers

Velo

Thank you Delta, you are the hero we needed

FancyShark

Hi, @Delta is just axing questions !

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

Girl if you were a mind reader why did you fuck him in the first place?

Tom, Wizard Columbo

What is there to object to, Billiard? That is exactly what you thought of her. We know that for a fact

Delta is just axing questions

People have needs

gellaho

But, that spat ends as quickly as it began

FancyShark

Please be a heart attack

Flippant Sausage Foreskin Jerky

"Women love it when you strangle effete beta males" - author of this book, apparently.

Rachel, Grand Inquisitor

The author puts down his shoehorn, having finally gotten that romance plot in there.

gellaho

Anyway, they're in love now
