Hey guys!

[Comes Rhys' familiar voice, annoying as ever as the camera flips on. He's sitting in his disheveled bedroom, clearly a little sleep deprived, but accomplished and seemingly triumphant all the same.]

I wanted to wait until I was sure that there's nothing bad going on before releasing my next game. Are you guys ready for it? It's Mrs. Pac-Man, and it took me forever because- well, funny story actually, it's really easy to code the ghosts to take the shortest route to get to you and kill you, but it's kind of harder to program in other difficulty levels where it's not super tough, and so I was looking into it and developed this nifty algorithm for the easy and medium difficulties, and-

[...and he's getting ahead of himself and saying shit that nobody cares about. At least everyone totally has time to listen because nothing bad is going on!]

-well, anyway, it's a really cool game about a badass lady sphere. You can all download and play it, but uh, I'm gonna need at least five of you to give it a shot.

Have at it!

AGAIN!?

[We're in the middle of a fucking ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE, and THIS is what you choose to do!?]

[Oh, nerds.]

You haven't been outside, have you?

impeccable timing.

....Well.

You tried.

Wonderful! You must be the creator of the Pong app, too. This is a step in the right direction, and I'm looking forward to seeing further development. Centiped or Tetris, perhaps.

Well done.

[Whether she actually means that or she's referring to Rhys' shockingly impressive timing once again, it's hard to say even by the tone of her voice. Wups.]

Bro, at this point I think we could use you as like, a person-eating monster event alarm.

[But his tone is amused, because this is just too funny not to appreciate. And besides--]

Sweet game choice, though.

[WHO CARES ABOUT ZOMBIES, SOMEONE MADE A VIDEO GAME]

Really?! Ms. Pac-Man?! That's great!! I'll gladly be a guinea pig for that! And now I'll have something to play while holed up in my house. (*＾-＾*)

[Well, when he wasn't fighting or killing he was rather bored and he could use an interesting game. For someone as simple as him it would probably entertain him for days. He wasn't of the age of heavy graphic induced video games.

But then again him and technology didn't get along.] I have no idea what you just said but I could use something to do in a little while.

[This is absolutely what someone should do instead of fighting zombies.]

Wait, you've made other games too? Which ones?

Dude, you might wanna look outside.

( NOTHING GOING ON, RHYS. REALLY????????? )

[Bianca answers from out in a street somewhere. She's slightly bloodspattered and holding a machete, but she looks otherwise cheerful and put together.]

I may not be able to test it thoroughly just yet, dearheart, but I'm extremely impressed by your grasp on priorities. I, for one, would take a zombie apocalypse over a boring Sunday afternoon any time.

How did you know I've had Mrs. Pac-Man fever?

[ Haha, zombies? What zombies? This is way more interesting. ]

Hey man, thanks. This is exactly what we need before we're eaten or turned into part of an undead horde.

I suppose that's one way to be productive during all this.

[Gren sees this post and looks in the direction that would be heavenward if they weren't stuck in the happy fun fuckitall murdercave, and silently beseeches whatever gods aren't shitheads for patience.]

[So none of the ones here, really.]

[He opens the door to Rhys' room and looks at the gangly motherfucker he lives with.]

Fuckin' again?

Your priorities are weird but I hate it less than I want to hate it.

But why can I not fight the ghosts? Are you supposed to be able to defeat the ghosts?

[Someone.... doesn't quite understand the point of Mrs. Pac-Man.]

10/10 on game creation
0/10 on timing

overall a solid 5/10 dude not bad

[ No need to restate the obvious as to poor timing. More to the point, he's of course looked at the code. ]

Clever work on the algorithm. Less so on the file name.

[ he hasn't noticed the zombies yet, either, so. w/e. ]

That filename, though. :/
