Page Commentary No. 276

Psu: Oh my god. We didn't think to name the VR game, Moonstone Doomgate.

Gunwild: I did, I just didn't want it to be directly compared to Moonstone, the RPG from the comic Sunstone! I thought it would be copying Stepan Sejic's placing his own characters in that as avatars a little too closely.

Psu: Instead, we got fixated on the way Manticore sounds cooler than Mantah Corp even though they're pronounced the same. But that's on our other non existent commentary track on Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous.

Gunwild: We have strong opinions about the names of evil corporations in the Jurassic Park franchise, it's true. Anyway having Theira exposit something while going "pew pew" and then getting upset she figured it out? It's an attempt at a pretty high level technique. You know, making sure that the character delivering exposition doesn't  sound like what they're doing is meant to further the plot at all!

Psu: It's also fun to keep the readers entertained by like... "okay you exposit on the big conspiracy but are you guys really just gonna leave Kettering's RAPID handsomification go unremarked on?" I suppose it helps that Theira never really thinks about how these other bipeds are always changing around her.

Gunwild: Well, she notices, she noticed Kettlehead's first chin hair. But it's not the kind of thing that keeps her attention, I mean if it were a change worth remarking on much Kettlehead would probably have go get in a cocoon or something like a normal person.

Psu: She's probably more focused on how dour he's been instead of how sharp his chin has gotten. I'd kinda forgotten that too, it's kinda softened again ever since he caught back up with his jelly girl.

Gunwild: Yeah, couples get more like each other sometimes.

Psu: It would happen with Theira but I'm starting to assume she's only interested in other creatures in as much as they help provide her employment or could provide her with food.

Gunwild: H-hey I think she likes some people! Many video games demand that you work together with them, and all.

Psu: We should talk about the structure of this page, we really did worry it was gonna be a boring page right? But I think we both added just enough things here to be entertaining. Like Kettering growing up. Cute dogs. Dialog about having to spend overtime on some unexpected problem at work?

Gunwild: Yeah, Kettlehead, an evil conspiracy is bad but in real life you should never be made to work through your lunch break if you wanna do a good job. Don't skip meals!

Psu: Blech. Mopey Kettlehead probably skips meals anyway. He's even letting his hair get all messy and grown out. On the design side of things here, we saw this room once before. Back when Kettlehead almost uncovered the entire Cassiopeia Quinn hideout operation. A lot of things can get solved if you just sort your data properly. Unlike Theira who's kinda stacking her data chips (or whatever those are) like Doritos.

Gunwild: She says they're optical chips. I imagine they are not very good with salsa.

Psu: Can we also come up with a form of data crunching that resembles salsa?

Gunwild: I'm just here thinking it is sort of odd to stack Doritos. Did you mean Pringles?

Psu: But Pringles don't come in triangles...

Gunwild: Is that an idea we should be patenting?
