2nd Shot | Video

[Nick's looking much cleaner and neater than he had in his last entry, but he doesn't look to be in any better of a mood, and the bottle of scotch on the table next to him is half-empty]

How the fuck can there not be any casinos in this place? Or 'houses of ill-repute.' Given that we're supposed to be, like, a thousand years in the future, this place is pretty damn disappointing.

I have yet to see one flying care anywhere. There's also no robot butlers, no hot robot chicks, no weird-looking alien kids who like reese's pieces... there aren't even any 'damn, dirty apes.' And instead of living on some cool space station on Mars, we're stuck in Assholeshire, England, digging through post-apolocyptic rubble. There isn't even a god-damned McDonald's.

[He suddenly leans forward, his face taking up the entire screen.]

So if whoever's in charge happens to be watching this, I've got just one thing to say:

I want a fucking refund.

Hey, you never know! Maybe they've got flying cars somewhere else.

That doesn't make me feel any better, you know. If they're not here then I don't really give a shit where they are.

You must be looking in the wrong places or talking to the wrong people.

Exactly what part of my rant are you referring to? 'cause I really don't actually care about the robot butlers.

The whole thing has been a bit of a disappointment, yes.

I know, right? They at least owe us some decent entertainment.

[mournfully] Oh, no, a utopist.... You've been reading a bit too much science fiction, I'm afraid. I've seen a lot of future Londons and, believe me, this one's better than a lot of them.

Hey, I got my education from bad 80's movies, thank you very much.

How dreadful. Surely you can keep yourself occupied through other methods? Though given your interests, perhaps that would be too much to expect.

[excuse her. she's victorian.]

[Wow, creepy chick alert.]

My interests are pretty damn diverse, thanks. Though if you've got any suggestions I'm all ears.

Nope. There aren't even any decent back-alley dice games goin' on.

[You got him to laugh. Good job.]

Shit, seriously? I ain't even had time to think about that, but you're right. The Jetsons was a total lie.

I know, right? I was totally expecting some kind of Back to the Future shit, too.

[ Countdown until someone kicks this guy off the network again: 3... ]

[Oh, wow, he wasn't actually expecting a response]

Sorry if my expectations are a little higher than yours. If you're going to go around abducting people, at least send them somewhere with a little excitement.

[ Weird-looking alien kids, you say? ]

Is that a candy? I like candy!

[Hmm, small and grey... that's close enough.]

Yeah, it's candy. They're like... [How the hell does he describe reese's pieces?] Little flat balls of peanut butter inside a candy shell.

I won't say a lack of casinos is a sign of failing civilization.

Edited 2012-08-30 15:30 (UTC)

Actually, I'd have to say that's a major sign of failing civilization. That and a lack of fast food joints.

Start a casino yourself. Or a bar. You'd never want for customers.

From what I've heard, there's more bars in this city than any other type of building. And opening up a casino takes a lot of cash.

[Totally not commenting on the idea of a casino or "houses of ill-repute", but...] I think you've seen too many movies.
