Psu: Is this canon? Did this actually happen?
Gunwild: The problem with using a video game or puzzle or mystery to recruit somebody for an important job is that a lot of the time, you can test their skill but not, like... any inclination to actually do stuff.
Psu: Theira hates jobs. Unless it's shooting bad guys. Space computer head should have led with that.
Gunwild: Yeah but she's only got so long this evening at the arcade!
Psu: And there are wings to devour! Hey wait a second, I don't remember coloring this. Brellom did. Wanna get in on this commentary, Brell?
Brellom: Oh, I remember colouring this. I don't think I did all of it though. You might've done the giant face and the colours around it.
Psu: It's possible I got really tired of drawing that big dumb stupid face. It's not super impressive. I can see why Theira got bored with it about 2 sentences in. Try to keep your recruitment speech under two sentences.
Brellom: Friggin' gamers.
Gunwild: Game designers work hard on cutscenes, guys, and you should respect the extra effort they put in...
Psu: I could make a joke about how they remade the Last Of Us as 10 hours of cutscenes but I actually really liked the first game. Anyway... I don't think we answered the primary question. Did this really happen? Does this space alien still need a savior somewhere?
Gunwild: Well, luckily it's a busy arcade. Clearly someone else will come along.
Brellom: I wondered that too, but my biggest question is, like... What kind of video game establishment sells barbecue wings? Imagine all these filthy gamers getting their fingies all sticky and gross and then touching the controllers...
Gunwild: I like how his whole brow region looks kind of like a Shmup game ship.
Psu: I think this is a space Dave n Busters. In my experience with Dave n Busters, you wouldn't want to pick from them for your average galaxy savior.
Psu: It totally was a Galaga. Or a Galaxian. I don't remember the difference between the two...
Gunwild: If you tell people I don't always know what you're doing, sooner or later they'll realize that I don't know what I'm doing either!
Brellom: You ignorant clods! They're literally two different things... They both start with the letter G and have an ala in the middle... And uh... Hrm...
Gunwild: Is Theira's score still valid since she used two controllers?
Psu: It does on the tik tok videos people made watching her. Wait... does Tik Tok still exist?
Gunwild: I'm not hip with anything new or old, I can't tell you.
Psu: You're gonna need hips if you're gonna save them from the... what did you write here... "The Styleshooters of Carsica?" Do they shoot with style or shoot at style?
Gunwild: I'm sure they do both. And I bet you have to hit the correct button (or pose appropriately?) to parry their shots, and everything.
Psu: This is starting to sound like a good game to exercise to.
Gunwild: Until the game becomes real! Or you quit exercising to order food, whichever comes first.
