Zoom Rabbit Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 What has Zoom Unit One been up to other than not posting on bulletin boards these last couple of years...? Glad you asked. I've been writing inscrutable crap like this: [Tolkien voice] Thus have I heard-- Form up, lads. Unleash the fiery steel and give point! Rash action, desperate choice and the sky blossoms with this morning's ruin... Clutch tight the throttle and charge the capacitors--let not a single target escape hawken vision! Destroy fear. As the momentum shifts and writhes, you witness the disorientation but allow it to pass. There is only here and there; you no longer exist. Last words on the radio crackle stridently, distorted by ionizing plasma fire. Do not give thought to this. Chance willing, you will rejoin those pilots today. It matters not. When the battle ends, the game is over, we all return to the real world where these things are to us but a subject of discussion and play. Though you remember it not, that being with its hands on the controller is you! For now you forget...today you are a starfighter pilot and there is a cruel sky to master. The smell of sweat in your helmet overpowers the acrid burning of capacitors fluorescing too long. Pray the guns hold out. The voices buzzing in space now roar and chortle hopefully. One can almost define the moment the tide of battle turns, stand upon it and write in the guest book of fate one's own name. When the actinic light of the enemy cruiser's passing dawns upon the cold night of debris and plasma strewn space, it serves only to reveal the surviving TIE fighters burning jets to leave the arena. Throttle up and get them. Long live the hunters! The Force is with us. Enjoy this day, for tomorrow the game may be over. You will realize then that the being with its hands on the controller had been you all along. After all, why would the gold medal have been important to a starfighter pilot to begin with? Om! Peace. [/Tolkien voice] Hmm. So, I've heard that life is like a dream...but has anyone ever suggested it was a videogame? (BTW, this sutra is obviously inspired by XWA, RSN and all my LFN buddies.)

Commander 598 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I have discovered your true identity! Zeon Zoom(Zum) Deikun. Sieg Zeon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Hmm. So, I've heard that life is like a dream...but has anyone ever suggested it was a videogame? Yes... but it's one that's probably called "The Sims." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Rabbit Posted November 21, 2005 Author Share Posted November 21, 2005 I have discovered your true identity! Zeon Zoom(Zum) Deikun. Sieg Zeon! Nope. My true identity is unknown even to myself... Ed: I'm just glad it isn't Pac Man. I have a problem with ghosts coming after me. If life is just a videogame, where's the freaking pause button? I gotta take a leak!

Thrawn Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I take a break from playing to grab a soda and a snack, and I come back to find my life is in shambles! Sheesh, I thought I hit escape to go to the menu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander 598 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Nope. My true identity is unknown even to myself... Clever... Very Clever... But, if Degwin Zabi didn't kill Deikun(You) then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Rabbit Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 ...I must be either undead or NOT FREAKING ZUM DEIKUN. Or I might be a Star Wars podracer turned rebel fighter pilot after all. Hard to say for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
