Still no laptop and still no idea if the rest of my story survived. Am calling tomorrow to complain.
Started work today. Apparently I can access all of your tax information at work but I am not allowed to. Too bad. The rest of the week I am learning GST stuff. Fun! ;)
I did get a chance to write today. I am a little behind but plan on making that up in the next couple of days. I slogged my way through the Boo-bie Mansion and I wish I could say it was funny memorable or interesting but I don't believe it was any of the above so I am going to give you an excerpt of a letter that Marcus found at the Boobie Mansion. Joe left a briefcase for marcus containing letters and a CD regarding the conspiracy but Marcus hasn't quite caught on yet.
Perhaps you readers will, though not that likely. I'm clever. I will buy a bottle of wine/beer/liquer for whoever guesses correctly who the letter is from. The persons codename is Nintendo DS and that is not an acceptable answer.
As always Grammer/spelling etc. is not perfect. When I am fatigued I have great ideas but poor execution into a word processor.
Like previously mentioned it contained letters and a cd. Marcus tried the CD. It did not play music. It must have pictures on it or something.
Marcus looked at the letters. It was dated early in 1992. There were no names just werid code names. He looked at the earliest dated letter.
Hey Game Boy,
Our game is fading, even with the arrival of MJ and his golden touch the game here is losing its fan base. More and more people are switching super stars and are looking at Super Mario and Yoshi characters as being greater. We need to somehow change the dynamics. Things need to change in 15 years I want to have broken the other game and made it nearly irreparable. Ours will be the only one left.
You’re probably wondering what this means to you. You need to crush the game. You have worked under me for several years and have a dumb demonor about you. You need to infilterate the competition at the highest level. Get in and bring it down at its core fanbase.
You know the one I am talking about. Once its core fanbase has been all but crushed. Our game will move in and take over. We’ll get the big contracts the press time. Everything. Everything.
It’s up to you Game Boy. I’ll help you get started and then we can secretly work together for the betterment of our game and not theirs.
Nintendo DS
Marcus sat back in the luscious chairs and pondered. Why did Joe give me letters between to video game executives. It looks like they worked at Nintendo and they were trying to take down their competition. In 1992 that would have been Sega. I guess they succeeded. Marcus looked closer at the documents.

Gary Bettman is clearly Game Boy... is David Stern Nintendo DS?
ReplyDeleteI agree on Game Boy, but is Nintendo DS George Bush (Jr or Sr)?
ReplyDeleteAlso, Future Shop backed up your hard drive already, so don't worry about your story! Worry about your computer. And please, please, please complain today. You should even almost be rude about it. It was supposed to be done a week ago!!!!
ReplyDeleteScott, Sam and I need some answers. We are going around and around in circles. Is Scott just trying to make us believe that it's Gary Bettman and David Stern?
ReplyDeleteI am totally mystified about the author of the letter, but very grateful that you have posted an excerpt. I was starting to go into "excerpt withdrawal" what with all those other assholes having "gone dark" and not posting anything. Scott, you're my hero.
ReplyDeleteI have no ideas whatsoever. i supposd it coudl always be a character from someone else's book... but none seem to fit.
ReplyDeleteVery clever, Scott - I love the video game references. Although, nintendo DS did not exist in 1992. Did a Game Boy? so it seems your characters could predict the future of gaming.
Indeed they could predict the future of gaming... Thats the brilliance of it.
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that Jill and Sam are going around in cricles...
But Wow Jill! You won. I am amazed that you figured this out so quickly. I will have to re-edit my first letter to make it more discreet and more difficult for first time readers.
I will post something else tonight. Marcus is in for a bit of a surprised tonight. He will be left battered and bloody.
Don't forget you owe me a bottle of wine
