Shoot Club: The Curious Incident of the Monkey in the Night-Time

"Think of it as a field trip."

TomChick... you get a little trigger happy?

TomChick · 10-10-2004, 09:50 PM

I have to manually fix the forum posts when we put up multipaged stories. You're the trigger happy one for posting before I cleaned them up! :)

Ha, ha. That Trevor is my kind of guy! Nice work Mr Chick.

Hey, is there a shoot club the week between Christmas and New Years? I think I am going to be in LA again, visiting my in-laws and would like to stop by. I will remember to bring food this time and not bother to knock! :).

Wholly Schmidt · 10-10-2004, 11:38 PM

Wow, I was dying on the accidental blind CD key results. My roommate kept asking me what was so funny. "The Purple Monkey will fuck you up."

Oh man, that was great. The majority has spoken, Mr Chick.

Mike Cathcart · 10-11-2004, 08:07 AM

Tom must be running out of Deus Ex hate mail. That's why he's purposely wrong about Burnout 3. That said, empty hyperbole time!

"Plus, you are a fag and a cock."

Awesome.

Doug is what you do to a hole. My name is Douglas

AGH I knew a Douglas who used that same stupid line on me when I called him Doug. Come to think of it, his personality was very similar to the one in your article. Made the article that much more painful to read. :)

Funny stuff.

Colin · 10-11-2004, 08:24 AM

Finally i can get my fix again, theres way too much downtime between the shoot club articles.

Funkman · 10-11-2004, 10:06 AM

That was great, Tom.
Casual gamers drive me crazy as I usually end up having to explain to them what a mod is or how strategy games work.

And also, inform them that there are more games out there besides GTA 3.

olaf · 10-11-2004, 10:12 AM

That was funny.

Murph · 10-11-2004, 12:32 PM

Excellent. That was just great. One of my favorites.

Dave Long · 10-11-2004, 05:11 PM

This was my favorite. 1337 speak as part of every day conversation always cracks me up...

"Well, not here you don't, bro. I'm going to need you to use the first three letters of your first name, followed by the number of the station you're at, which is three. Capiche?"

So now Trevor is Tre3.

"Who's 'Tree'?" Eric asks after accidentally shooting him.

Superb!

SeleniaAeristh · 10-12-2004, 12:18 AM

awesome :D

Kryten · 10-12-2004, 02:18 AM

Bloody brilliant :D

Dirt · 10-12-2004, 09:10 AM

I half expected Douglas to flash his man boobs.

DeepT · 10-12-2004, 03:44 PM

So did this guy ever come over for shoot club? Did he enjoy his gay henti porn?! What happend next?

XtienMurawski · 10-12-2004, 04:27 PM

No. A real gay guy started coming so we all chilled the fuck out.

Anders Hallin · 10-12-2004, 05:33 PM

It's called "yaoi", at least in the West.
THE MORE YOU KNOW!

Sean Tudor · 10-12-2004, 09:18 PM

One of the best Shoot Clubs ever ! I want to hear more about the creepy wife. ;-)

Aszurom · 10-12-2004, 10:46 PM

I fail to note the moral in this story. Also, the internet made me stupid(er).

Raife · 10-13-2004, 02:58 PM

Haha!

Tom, you've outdone yourself. That was awesome.

Brian Rucker · 10-14-2004, 11:31 AM

For some reason I'd gotten in the habit of expecting some deep, if lightly spun, truth about humanity woven into all the gamerish trappings. So the over-the-top fuck up on poor Douglas's computers ("The Purple Monkey will fuck you up.") took me by complete surprise. I was laughing out loud at work. People are looking at me funny now. Gotta go.

Or worse, that he's a Christian and God gave him the computers and can he tell me about his personal experience with Jesus Christ?

I lost it right about there. :lol:

Rimbo · 10-14-2004, 04:54 PM

Gee... maybe I should start reading more of Tom Chick's articles.

Jackstar · 10-19-2004, 01:06 AM

I honestly can't tell which parts are real or not. Brilliant work, thanks.

10-20-2004, 04:42 AM

Very, very funny. Best SC yet.

Papageno · 10-23-2004, 01:48 PM

Yeah, funny, but Douglas sounds like a serious control freak, geez!

Joel · 10-23-2004, 10:12 PM

I enjoyed it, but I still don't get why racism isn't funny but calling people 'fags' is okay. Does that mean I'm gay or just a bigot?
