Yo! Your favorite genius engineer broadcasting live--well, mostly--from Hyperspace. Don't worry about anything--I only switched off the avatar to relax a bit.

So Yoko-chan's birthday party was today. Damn, what a day. The usual Metaroid problems, but it came down to just the two of us when everybody else got stuck together. J and Ryuji were hilarious, for one.

...Yoko's grown up to be a lot like her mom. I mean, yeah, duh, but she never really got to know her mom and all, so it's weird. Though Kurorin might've told her all about it. Think the EMC raised her, what with her mom being a single mom and all...

...Gah, still all distracted and crap. Look at me, I'm turning into a total sap today. Been like this all day. Just...whenever I looked at her, I saw her mom instead. And it's weird thinking of the little girl I used to know growing up into a strong, capable young woman just like her mom...a lot I missed out on the past 13 years.

Okay, need to get out of this funk. Anyone got anything entertaining? Not too mentally taxing, though--I took a beating in the fight and I do need to rest.

He's practically a floating head right now. Perhaps we should put him into a tube.

[J making jokes about Jin's predicament? Must be stressed.]

[boostup4beetbuster]

Oi, I almost got through that first video. Then I found something called Kickassia.

[juicy_egotist]

Is this where you recruit five teenagers with attitude then?

[boostup4beetbuster]

Dunno. Ryuji was probably the closest to actually recruited. And Yoko's mom woulda killed me if I even mentioned that around her...

[juicy_egotist]

It was her choice. And you didn't teleport her out of a bout of Tai Chi.

[boostup4beetbuster]

True, true. Man, still can't clear my thoughts, y'know?

[juicy_egotist]

She is a strong girl.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yeah, just like her mom.

Anyway, what was up with just telling everybody what happens to me if my avatar's destroyed?

[juicy_egotist]

You programmed me to care.

[And to be evasive.]

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yeah, but there's reasons I don't tell that stuff! Damn. Last thing I need is for them to think they gotta cover for me.

[juicy_egotist]

It does not stop you from taking risks anyhow.

[boostup4beetbuster]

I was like that even before Messiah.

[juicy_egotist]

I know that.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Guess with what the kids are going through, I gotta find a way to keep up. Someone's got to keep them from stupidly sacrificing themselves.

[juicy_egotist]

Roger.

.... I am going to go watch Akibaranger.

[boostup4beetbuster]

While I'm stuck turned off?!

[juicy_egotist]

... Go-Onger it is.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Oi, J. You KNOW I spent a week convinced that it couldn't be the team's name and it could only be the name of their van.

[juicy_egotist]

It's the Onger part that's throwing people off.

... and that their megazords talk.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yeah. I mean, what's an "Onger" anyway?

You Buddyroids talk, so it's not like it's soul-shattering for me or anything.

[juicy_egotist]

What's a Kaiger anyhow for that matter. Ger in general should be "Ranger" but... [shrugs.]

That's true.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yeah, well, we're Busters.

[juicy_egotist]

Thus we are awesome.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Of course!

[juicy_egotist]

Onger it is until you recover. Then i'll watch Akiba.

[locked from Michael why do I even try to do this]

[strippedofgrace]

Depends if the phrase "Epic Rap Battles of History" already means somethin' to you.

Re: [locked from Michael why do I even try to do this]

[boostup4beetbuster]

...I have got to catch up on so much. Go on.

[strippedofgrace]

Here you go. Should keep you busy for a while.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Nice. I'm gonna have fun with this.

[strippedofgrace]

I'm not responsible for any misinformation you get from this yada yada stay in school.

[boostup4beetbuster]

I graduated a long time ago, so anything I've learned wrong I've already got taken care of!

[strippedofgrace]

Just giving the standard spiel.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Gotcha. Now, think I'll start with the nerd battle of Jobs vs. Gates...

[strippedofgrace]

Who?

[Guess who didn't even have a personal phone until recently.]

[boostup4beetbuster]

Creators of the two biggest computer/software companies, and the source of a neverending war of which computer is better.

[strippedofgrace]

Oh. Yeah, I'm not really big into computers.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Good fight to keep out of. You can't admit to liking both without being looked on as insane.

[strippedofgrace]

Actually this is the first computer I've ever owned. I didn't have a phone either.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yeesh. Weird to think about. Well, at least you know for future reference.

[strippedofgrace]

I guess that helps.
