[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.

[gamblinman]

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.

[vestigiaflammae]

Okay, so it's not like we get a chance to wander around the whole world.

We've got time travel, though. You know, when they want us to go somewhere.

[onemoredeath]

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

[gamblinman]

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

[gamblinman]

That... might be okay.

What kinds of places in time do we get to go to?

[draconic_historian]

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

[shoesfitperfectly]

[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.

[vestigiaflammae]

Well... All different ones! Last time, I ended up a really long time ago with a bunch of guys we couldn't understand, and then at this awesome concert in -- uh. Oh man, what was that country called again...

[bittertears]

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.]

[doubleoohbaby]

No casinos...?

[His heart...]

[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.

hey guy, we all do, and you don't see US complaining!

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

[gamblinman]

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

[gamblinman]

What kind of concert? Like a rock concert? I could get behind that.

[gamblinman]

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

[gamblinman]

[Wow, creepy chick alert.]

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

Re: audio;

[gamblinman]

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

[gamblinman]

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

[gamblinman]

[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!

[onemoredeath]

The gambling and the ladies of negotiable affections.

[freezerburned]

Hah. I was actually thinking the same thing.

[He sighs.]

There's not even actual internet.

[charming_jerk]

Yeah! If they're gonna drag our asses to the future, at least get us some flying skateboards.

This sounds weird to ask, but, what year ya from?

[draconic_historian]

Like casinos or houses of ill repute?
