Otto Rocket was riding on his skateboard to go over Sam's house to play Masters of Orion (MOO as Otto called it).
"DUUDE!" Otto talking to himself, "When I get over Sam's house, MY LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!"
Otto for the past week had fantasied about MOO. He was convinced it was the next big video game. He saw it in this one commercial where there is this robot doing a jig and Donnie Lighting was in it. Otto loves Donnie Lighting. Just the thought made him more excited about it.
Otto was 20 inches away from Sam's house now. He then did for the first time in his life a Super McVarial 900 over a ramp. "WOW! I actually did it!" Otto said in surprise. But then, Merv Stimpleton was in his way while he was picking up his newspaper.
"MOOVE OVER MERV!" Otto meant as a reference to Masters of Orion. But Otto was to late and smacked into Merv. Nothing happened to Merv because Merv is
indestructible.
Otto was then in the hospital for a week without any connections with his family or friends. During that time, the nurse had a Apple GS2 in the room and allowed Otto to play on it.
The Nurse said "The only game we have on it is Reach for the Stars: THE CONQUEST FOR THE GALAXY!" she then said in a scary voice. "hehe, i like it when i do that!" She continued, "I read on it's Wikipedia article that it came before that MOO game whatever you-call-it and has influenced those type of space games. Well, i found it out on that MOO page everyones talking about, GOSH, you wouldn't believe what I heard from my friend Martha today! She talks about how its called "4x" and she told me its a game that rips off of MOO. like seriously? theres a genre off this thing! something that Donnie Lighting said on..."
Otto was not listening and was getting highly interested in Reach for the Stars.
Reggie and Sam came to the hospital a week after Otto's accident. Reggie said "Otto are you ok? what happened bro?"
Otto playing a intense game of RFTS (pronounced "riffs" Otto likes to call it) replied back, "Nothing bad, its what shoobies suffer from!"
Sam said "Otto, i'm sorry you could not play MOO at my house, i feel sorry, here, take my copy of MOO, you can have it for free!"
All of a sudden, Otto stopped playing. He looked over to Sam and yelled "NEVER, EVER, EVER, SHOW ME A COPY OF THAT WHIMPY LOOKING GAME AGAIN!" Otto smacked it out of Sam's hand.
"Whaat!" Sam yelled.
Otto yelled "That game is for cynical basement dwellers who like to show self importance in products they like to consume in!" "And it's people LIKE YOU who force it upon me to play it BECAUSE ITS SPECIAL AND INNOVATIVE! Well, , I BEEN PLAYING RFTS UNDER YOUR INFLUENCE AND ITS BETTER THAN MOO, THATS RIGHT, ITS BETTER! YOU WOULD ONLY LIKE IT BECAUSE OF MOO!" After Otto made more angry shouts, he concluded with, "I'M NEVER PLAYING THAT GAME AGAIN BECAUSE IT IS FOR SHOOBIES!"
Otto finished and went back staring at the computer.
Sam cried.
