Below are transcripts of several old (and generally wacky) classic games. You can find out more about each game, including how to download it, by clicking on its title in these paragraphs. The first is Coke Is It! by Soda Pop Productions (J. Robinson Wheeler, Michael Fessler, Adam Cadre, Dan Shiovitz, and David Dyte), an experiment in what would happen if corporations began paying IF authors for product placement. We then chased the Coke with a few Speed IFs: You Are a Chef! by Dan Shiovitz, A Day for Fresh Sushi by Emily Short, Kids, don't eat your Halloween candy without having your parents inspect it first because there are SICKOS out there who will put RAZOR BLADES in it and you will CUT YOUR MOUTH and GET A POISONED INFECTION and DIE, all from eating your candy early. So don't do that) (my personal favorite for best IF title ever) by Dan Shiovitz, and Tower of Beef by Ricardo Signes. If you'd like to skip to a particular game in the transcript, you can click on the individual title: |

| Jacqueline says, "Let us know if you need any help with mud commands or whatever. Basically, you give Floyd commands by typing 'f command' and talk on the channel by saying '#clubfloyd blah' the first time (which sets the default channel) and then ';blah' after that." | ||||

| DavidW arrives, full of fun and funk. | ||||

Floyd | Your surroundings melt away, and you find yourself in a completely new Floyd | place!

You are outside the ticket gates, near a flight Floyd | of steps back up to the city, and since you haven't a ticket you're Floyd | likely to stay that way.

Floyd | This Coke machine has served you well.

Right now, though, the buttons don't seem to have the Floyd | same labels they used to.

Floyd | Your surroundings melt away, and you find yourself in a completely new Floyd | place. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Rain and mud. And the taste of something, sweet in your mouth. Floyd | Floyd | Those are your first solid memories. Rain pouring down on your head, Floyd | filling your eyes. Mud beneath your feet, filling your shoes. And, of Floyd | course, there's always Coca-Cola -- or is there? A sudden feeling of Floyd | loss sweeps over you, and a chill wind cuts through your clothes with Floyd | ease. Floyd | Floyd | Shelter would be a good beginning. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Muddy Glade Floyd | The trees around you are spaced far enough to provide little shelter, Floyd | allowing the stinging rain to pelt you. A grey mist conceals Floyd | everything past four meters. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Marvin says (to Floyd), "push grip" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Marvin says (to Floyd), "e" | ||||
Floyd | You strike off in that direction, but soon become disoriented by the Floyd | rain. Floyd | Floyd | Muddy Field Floyd | Once the field might have been covered in grass. Now the grass is but Floyd | a memory. Mud covers the ground in its place, fed by the constant Floyd | rain. Floyd | Floyd | Buried almost to its chin in the mud is a human head. Floyd | The head glances northeast for a moment. "Just a sip, that's all I Floyd | ask. One little sip of Coke." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Spinster says (to floyd), "i" | ||||
Floyd | You are carrying: Floyd | a bottle of cola Floyd | Floyd | "So thirsty ... So, so thirsty ..." Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says (to Taleslinger), "And trust me, I'm not doing marketing. I try to avoid the stuff these days (though I do still drink more soda than I should)." | |||
| Marvin says (to Floyd), "kick head" | ||||
Floyd | The head's eyes widen as you draw your foot back. "Terry, no, please, Floyd | oh God you can't--" His cries are cut short as your foot slams into Floyd | him. With the sound of eggshells cracking, the head fragments into Floyd | countless pieces which are quickly lost in the mud. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Other than being buried in mud to his chin, the head is reassuringly Floyd | normal. His hair and mustache are a matted brown, perhaps from Floyd | genetics, perhaps from mud. Rivulets of water run down his creased Floyd | face. Floyd | The head glances northeast for a moment. "Just a sip, that's all I Floyd | ask. One little sip of Coke." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | "Terry, no, please, oh God you can't--" His cries are cut short as a Floyd | stream of hissing liquid trickles into his mouth. His head seems Floyd | almost involuntarily to wriggle its way further down into the mud, and Floyd | quickly disappears. A few remaining drops of liquid drip from the Floyd | bottle and splash down onto the soil, cutting tiny trails to the Floyd | northeast.

Floyd | The mud coating him makes you think twice. Floyd | "'I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke'. And I did. So you OWE me!" The Floyd | head's eyes flicker to the northeast. Floyd | Floyd | > Floyd | The madness and confusion of this place drives you to Floyd | ever-more-desperate acts. But here, at the brink, you manage to summon Floyd | your courage and honor and draw back. Floyd | Floyd | The head hums a Coke jingle to itself. Floyd | Floyd | > Floyd | As you walk away, the head screams at you. "Coward! You put me here! Floyd | Can't you at least get me something to drink?" Disturbed, you keep Floyd | walking. Floyd | Floyd | Front of Building Floyd | Looming suddenly out of the gloom is a large marble building. Its Floyd | columns jut skyward, raked by the unending rain. To the north lies its Floyd | entrance. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "n" | ||||
Floyd | As you walk through the door of the building the sound of the rain Floyd | stops, as if suddenly turned off. Floyd | Floyd | Foyer Floyd | The two-story height of the foyer is channelled into a narrower Floyd | hallway to the north. On the north wall to the west of the hallway's Floyd | beginning is an open doorway. The building's entrance to the south is Floyd | reflected in the marble floor. Floyd | Floyd | A section of the air just above your head shimmers. A small pyramid Floyd | falls from the disturbance to the ground below. Floyd | Floyd | > | Spinster says, "I guess it does not matter" | |||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "x pyramid" | ||||
Floyd | A small paper pyramid, about three centimeters on an edge. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "take pyramid" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "take it" | ||||
Floyd | The pyramid begins glowing softly. It unfolds like a flower and voices Floyd | begin to issue from it, saying "Subject suffering from unusually low Floyd | levels of sugar and caffeine..." "Thirst dangerously unsatisfied..." Floyd | (someone shouts) "Doctor! We must try the new experimental treatment, Floyd | it's his only hope!" "Fine, get me a syringe." Floyd | When the light dies down, the pyramid is gone. Floyd | Floyd | > Floyd | You can't see "it" (the paper pyramid) at the moment, unlike your Floyd | Coke. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Spinster says (to floyd), "w" | ||||
Floyd | You can't go that way. Floyd | Floyd | > | Taleslinger says, "Wow, this makes me want to play the original." | |||
| Spinster says (to floyd), "nw" | ||||
Floyd | An inner voice tells you there's no Coke that way. Floyd | Floyd | > | Bishop says (to Taleslinger), "Oh, yes, you should." | |||
| Jacqueline says (to Taleslinger), "I was just thinking the same thing." | ||||
| Spinster says (to floyd), "n" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | South End of Hallway Floyd | Like the foyer, the hallway is marble. Its two-story height combined Floyd | with its thinness inspires unease. A walkway runs above you, clinging Floyd | to the east and west walls. Below the east walkway is a doorway. Floyd | Floyd | > | Marvin says (to Taleslinger), "ITYM 'have a Coke'." | |||
| Bishop says (to Floyd), "x walkway" | ||||
Floyd | The walkway rings the hall on every side but the south, casting a Floyd | shadow on the floor. Floyd | Floyd | > | Taleslinger says (to marve), "That too. Sadly, I only have Sprite." | |||
| Spinster says (to floyd), "e" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | South Half of Archive Floyd | Just enough light filters in to show you row after row of boxes Floyd | filling rack after rack of shelves, making it difficult to find a Floyd | place to stand.

Floyd | Your eyes roam over their surfaces, taking in their titles. Many are Floyd | labeled "Bottled: " with a range of dates following. A few are labeled Floyd | "Carbonation."

Floyd | Floyd | North Half of Archive Floyd | Metal shelves fill the hall; most are empty and many have succumbed to Floyd | rust. The shelves that aren't empty hold broken shards of glass.

| Marvin has already had two Cokes today. | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "w" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | North End of Hallway Floyd | The hallway ends abruptly in a pair of large oak doors. Their Floyd | intricate carving is barely visible in the leaden light from the Floyd | windows above you. The doors are flanked by two sweeping staircases to Floyd | the northeast and northwest. A doorway to the east is mirrored by a Floyd | closed door to the west. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Floyd | Utility Room Floyd | The room is hot and stifling -- makes you wish for a Coke right about Floyd | now -- and cobwebs drip from every surface. A hot-water tank crouches Floyd | in one corner. Rickety stairs lead into the depths of the building. To Floyd | the east is an open door. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "d" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Bottling Room Floyd | A cramped square room, barely lit by windows above you. The north and Floyd | west walls are taken up by tables. A clock is just visible next to the Floyd | stairs on the south wall. In the northwest corner is a tiny drain, Floyd | while a pile of bottles has claimed part of the east wall. Floyd | Floyd | A man stands bent over the tables, jotting things down in a large Floyd | notebook. Floyd | Floyd | As your footsteps sound on the stairs, the man turns. He looks you Floyd | over, one eyebrow quirking in surprise. "Hello," he says. "And here I Floyd | thought I was the last one still around. I'm Frankie." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | The metal drain is a small circle with a grate about ten centimeters Floyd | in diameter. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Spinster says (to floyd), "x bottles" | ||||
Floyd | The bottles are smooth and translucent, glowing softly from within. Floyd | Several are caked with mud and dirt, testimony to their recent Floyd | location. They have been stacked in a tight-fitting pyramid. You feel Floyd | a strange sense of deja vu as you gaze into them. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "frankie, go to hollywood" | ||||
Floyd | Frankie doesn't appear interested. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Which do you mean, the pile of bottles, the bottle-opener, the bottle Floyd | of Sprite or the bottle of cola? Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Spinster says (to floyd), "get bottles" | ||||
Floyd | You reach your hand towards one of the bottles. As you draw nearer, a Floyd | spark spits from the bottle, rushes up your arm, and then-- Floyd | Floyd | Darkness, then light. Floyd | Floyd | You see yourself, a brief memory of buying a Coke for the first time, Floyd | a muttered conversation, money changing hands, the hiss of a can Floyd | opening, and then the taste. Ahhh. Floyd | Floyd | Light, then darkness. Floyd | Floyd | You'd been in the principal's office for hours. Got suspended for a Floyd | week, you remember. But Billy Thimbleton was in the hospital with a Floyd | broken arm and a black eye. That'll teach him to offer you a Dr. Floyd | Pepper-- Floyd | Floyd | With a horrendous wrenching sensation you pull yourself away from the Floyd | pile of bottles. You glance at Frankie, but absorbed in his work, he Floyd | has not noticed your momentary distress. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "take opener" | ||||
Floyd | That seems to belong to Frankie. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "ask frankie for opener" | ||||
Floyd | Frankie has better things to do. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Bishop says (to Floyd), "x frankie" | ||||
Floyd | Frankie is of middling height, with tousled hair and a sandy brown Floyd | mustache. He carries a notebook and a bottle. Resting in his shirt Floyd | pocket is a bottle-opener. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "kill frankie" | ||||
Floyd | As you prepare to attack Frankie, he turns and fixes you with a gimlet Floyd | glare. "Now, now," he says softly. "Getting antsy without a caffeine Floyd | fix, eh?" Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x opener" | ||||
Floyd | It looks like an ordinary bottle-opener, made out of metal with a Floyd | pointy bit on one end. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | INTERACTIVE FICTION: IT'S BACK Floyd | Floyd | For too long since its heyday in the 80's, interactive fiction has Floyd | languished in the ghetto of obscurity. Despite brilliant and Floyd | insightful works by dozens of new authors, IF has continually failed Floyd | to receive the recognition by the general community it so richly Floyd | deserves. The solution? Corporate sponsorship. Floyd | Floyd | The Coca-Cola Corporation, in conjunction with the newly-formed Floyd | Interactive Fiction Promotion Board (a wholly-owned subsidary of the Floyd | Cola-Cola Corporation), is pleased to announce a new direction in text Floyd | adventures, Interactive Fiction for the Next Millennium. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Floyd | Floyd | Our promotion plans will take several forms. Television and radio Floyd | advertising, of course, will be a must. The marketing department is Floyd | still working out slogans, but we have a number that seem promising, Floyd | including "Zork: it's the choice of a new generation", "Just say 'No' Floyd | to grues", and "Perdition's Flames: Mostly Dead". Floyd | Floyd | The opportunity for product tie-ins are also unlimited. Imagine being Floyd | able to purchase an Elvish bottle-opener of great antiquity (glows Floyd | blue in the presence of caffeine!), or a black rod with a rusty star Floyd | on one end and the familiar red-and-white logo on the other. Or how Floyd | about this: buy a six-pack of Coke, and get a hintbook for Curses! Floyd | Floyd | And speaking of Curses, that brings us to the most important aspect Floyd | of the promotion -- IF development. Because that's what this is really Floyd | all about, right? With the help of the Coca-Cola Interactive Fiction Floyd | Promotion Board Foundation, full-time IF authorship is about to become Floyd | a reality. Certain selected authors will be chosen based on the Floyd | quality of their work to receive sponsored positions at the Floyd | Foundation, with no other task than to continue producing the sort of Floyd | games they've become famous for. Needless to say, these are expected Floyd | to be highly-sought positions, but all members of the IF community are Floyd | encouraged to apply. As examples of the sort of thing we'll be looking Floyd | for, the Foundation has hired several current IF authors to rework Floyd | parts of existing games in the new "Coca-Cola style". Floyd | Floyd | We hope you enjoy the package, and invite you to submit a demo game Floyd | of your own ASAP! Floyd | Floyd | P.S. And remember -- when you see XYZZY, think Coke!

Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | After seeing the wonderful promotional game 'The Lost Island of Floyd | Alanna' on the Cherry Coke web site Floyd | (http://www.cherrycoke.com/alanna/), a group of us decided to contact Floyd | Coca-Cola and see if they would be interested in doing a similar thing Floyd | with IF. We had the good luck of being able to contact Mr. Fizzlewick, Floyd | who surprised us all with the fervor of his interest in our idea. Floyd | Soon, we were all hired and working frantically to produce Floyd | 'proof-of-concept' scenarios based on current works of IF. We managed Floyd | to put this game together in time for their end-of-March manager's Floyd | meeting, where JP was able to sell the idea to the group. If all goes Floyd | well, you should see this game or something very similar go up on one Floyd | of their web pages some time in April. In the meantime, JP wanted us Floyd | to tell the rest of the IF community about the idea, so we put Floyd | together this package and are uploading it to GMD. Floyd | Floyd | The following people comprise the group: Floyd | Floyd | Lucian Smith: The main module and library replacement. Floyd | Adam Thornton: 'Curses' module Floyd | J. Robinson Wheeler: 'Adventure' module Floyd | Michael Fessler: 'Planetfall' module Floyd | Adam Cadre: 'Hitchhiker's Guide' module Floyd | Dan Shiovitz: 'Losing Your Grip' module Floyd | David Dyte: 'A Bear's Night Out' module Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | 'Coca-Cola' and 'Coke' are registered trademarks of the Coca-Cola Floyd | bottling company.

Floyd | A dark metal statue, reminiscent of a prop from Fritz Lang's Floyd | Metropolis. A stern, angular head sits atop a sexless body seven feet Floyd | tall.

Floyd | The statue's relaxed hand suddenly blurs into life. It reaches up to Floyd | the bottle, twists off the cap, and returns to the relaxed position Floyd | almost before you noticed it moving. You (gingerly!) take the bottle Floyd | back. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Floyd | Southeast Walkway Floyd | The walkway is cut off to the south by the rising walls of the foyer. Floyd | There is a doorway to the east; the walkway continues to the north. Floyd | Floyd | Northeast Walkway Floyd | The walkway runs along the east wall of the hallway. A sweeping Floyd | staircase joins the walkway to the southwest. Floyd | Floyd | North End of Hallway Floyd | The hallway ends abruptly in a pair of large oak doors. Their Floyd | intricate carving is barely visible in the leaden light from the Floyd | windows above you. The doors are flanked by two sweeping staircases to Floyd | the northeast and northwest. A doorway to the east is mirrored by an Floyd | open door to the west. Floyd | Floyd | Utility Room Floyd | The room is hot and stifling -- makes you wish for a Coke right about Floyd | now -- and cobwebs drip from every surface. A hot-water tank crouches Floyd | in one corner. Rickety stairs lead into the depths of the building. To Floyd | the east is an open door. Floyd | Floyd | Bottling Room Floyd | A cramped square room, barely lit by windows above you. The north and Floyd | west walls are taken up by tables. A clock is just visible next to the Floyd | stairs on the south wall. In the northwest corner is a tiny drain, Floyd | while a pile of bottles has claimed part of the east wall. Floyd | Floyd | Frankie is here, sorting and mixing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | "Excellent!" Frankie says, taking the bottle from you. He immediately Floyd | begins observing the Sprite and taking notes on its behavior. "By the Floyd | way," he says, "I don't need this, and you might find it handy." Floyd | Frankie takes the bottle opener out of his pocket and hands it to you. Floyd | Floyd | A quiet sound catches your attention. A black liquid has begun welling Floyd | up through the drain, covering it and starting to fill the northwest Floyd | corner. Floyd | Floyd | Frankie glances down, then swears quietly. "Sam, you son-of-a-bitch," Floyd | he mutters, scribbling furiously in his notebook. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | If you'd like to drink it, at least be honest with yourself and just Floyd | say so. Otherwise, pour it someplace or something. Floyd | Floyd | Almost all the available floorspace is taken up by Pepsi. Several of Floyd | the bottles in the pile have already been eaten away, their contents Floyd | mixing with the sludge.

Floyd | Floyd | Foyer Floyd | The two-story height of the foyer is channelled into a narrower Floyd | hallway to the north.

Floyd | Floyd | South End of Hallway Floyd | Like the foyer, the hallway is marble. Its two-story height combined Floyd | with its thinness inspires unease.

Floyd | Floyd | North End of Hallway Floyd | The hallway ends abruptly in a pair of large oak doors.

The south third of the room is covered by a balcony, Floyd | reducing the height of the hall from two stories to one. A small door Floyd | to the east and two large doors to the south stand ajar.

| DavidW says (to Floyd), "read telegram" | ||||
Floyd | A telegram, apparently. And dated three days ago. Floyd | Floyd | TRIUMPH OURS STOP BACK SOON STOP BE SURE TO FEED FISH STOP Floyd | Floyd | "So," blubs the evil fish. "How about it? Little food over here?" Floyd | Floyd | "Hey, nice SKIN TONE," shouts the evil fish. His words reach you in a Floyd | spitting gurgle of aquarium water. "You gone over to a pure eggplant Floyd | diet these days?" Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x flowers" | ||||
Floyd | Okay, so it's silly and sentimental and no doubt a waste of money, of Floyd | which there is never really enough, but: you miss her. You've missed Floyd | her since ten seconds after she stepped aboard the shuttle to Luna Floyd | Prime, and when you saw these -- her favorites, pure golden tulips Floyd | like springtime -- you had to have them. Floyd | Floyd | "Oh, you shouldn't have," says the fish. "For me??" Floyd | Floyd | You just respond with a livid glare. Floyd | Floyd | The evil fish is swimming around the tank in lazy circles. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "put flowers in vase" | ||||
Floyd | You settle the flowers into the vase and arrange them so that they Floyd | look sprightly. Floyd | Floyd | "Oooh," says the fish. "No one ever changes the plant life in HERE. Floyd | It's the same damn seaw--" Floyd | Floyd | "Cut me a break and cork it," you reply tartly. Floyd | Floyd | > | Marvin is busy watching the movie. | |||

Floyd | Various colors of drapery that Britney uses to set up backgrounds and Floyd | clothe her models. She does a lot of portraiture, so this comes in Floyd | handy.

"Simplicity. Try it." Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Apropos of game, here's maga's drawing of this fish: [LINK]" | |||
| Spinster says (to floyd), "feed fish" | ||||
Floyd | Triumphantly, you dump the remaining contents of the canister of fish Floyd | food into the tank. It floats on the surface like scum, but the fish Floyd | for once stops jawing and starts eating. Like a normal fish. Blub, Floyd | blub. Floyd | | Jacqueline says, "Which I've always thought was adorable, though admittedly I'm biased." | |||
| Ellison says, "oh, hey, the audio does seem a bit better than the old version" | ||||
| Marvin says, "I like the fact that I can't actually hear any of the dialogue because of all the noise." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Also, I finally understand why maga's icon for YAAC is so frickin' chaotic. [LINK]" | ||||

Since I made the big bucks on this trip, it's Floyd | my treat. Anywhere you like." Floyd | Floyd | "I've had a hankering all day," you admit, as the two of you turn from Floyd | the shuttle platform and head toward the bank of taxis.

Floyd | Floyd | That wacky Neil deMause! What will he think of next? Why, the last Floyd | time you tried to visit him, you got stuck on Ellis Island for hours, Floyd | and ended up years in the past talking to a goat. Boy, you were Floyd | really "Lost in New York" that time (heh heh). And history seems to Floyd | have repeated itself, because here it is Halloween, and here you are, Floyd | wandering through the streets in the fog, looking for his apartment Floyd | again. Sheesh. Floyd | Floyd | Kids, don't eat your Halloween candy without having your parents Floyd | inspect it first because there are SICKOS out there who will put RAZOR Floyd | BLADES in it and you will CUT YOUR MOUTH and GET A POISONED INFECTION Floyd | and DIE, all from eating your candy early. So don't do that.: A TADS Floyd | Adventure by Dan Shiovitz and his amazing programmable monkey Floyd | Developed with TADS, the Text Adventure Development System. Floyd | Floyd | Someplace in New York Floyd | It's a good thing it's too foggy to make out any details, because Floyd | I've spent all of three hours in New York, and they were all at the Floyd | airport waiting to switch flights.

Floyd | You take a step or two towards the pumpkin. A sudden gust of wind Floyd | makes the fog swirl, obscuring it for a moment despite the candle's Floyd | glow, and then it's gone. Huh. Weeeyurd. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "I thought it was that night every night." | |||

| McMartin says (to floyd), "score" | ||||
Floyd | In a total of 3 turns, you have achieved a score of 1 points out of a Floyd | possible 5, which gives you a rank of pie: it's the flesh of the Floyd | pumpkin Floyd | Floyd | > | Ellison says, "haha" | |||

Floyd | You are empty-handed. Floyd | Floyd | "Ha!" you reassure yourself "There's nothing out there! And if there Floyd | were, it would never leap onto my back suddenly and clasp its slimy Floyd | hands around my throat and slowly squeeze until all my life was Floyd | crushed out. It'd just rip my chest open and feast on my entrails." Floyd | Floyd | > | Ellison says, "hee" | |||

Floyd | Time passes... Floyd | Floyd | EEEAGH! FLYING DEMONIC PUMPKIN HEAD!!! Floyd | Floyd | When the horror finally ends, you're someplace else. Floyd | Someplace else in New York Floyd | Another time .. another place. Or is it? One moment seems to Floyd | blend into another, one stretch of pavement becomes the same as any Floyd | other. It's tough being a hard-boiled detective, tossed off the Floyd | police force because you knew too much about the kickbacks being paid Floyd | to the guys up top. Yeah, it's tough, on your own, in-debt and Floyd | half-drunk to forget the pain of a broken heart. So it's a good thing Floyd | you're not one. You're just J Random Protagonist, remember?

Floyd | You step out into the warm, sunshiny day. Here and there, co-workers Floyd | sit and eat packed lunches, discussing their days. Children frolic and Floyd | birds sing. What a perfect day! Floyd | Floyd | You lean back against The Tower and contemplate your success, Floyd | imagining the future of the world: Floyd | Floyd | Fifty or seventy-five years from now, billions are dead from the Floyd | mutated Beef Flu. Death from Super McBeefy is slow, throbbing, and Floyd | painful -- as you well know -- and society has fallen apart trying Floyd | merely to bury the dead and sustain the living. With the economy in Floyd | shambles and the majority of the fabric of society in tatters, the Floyd | human race is reduced to foraging: foraging for nuts and berries, and Floyd | not beef.

| McMartin says, "ClubFloyd: Let's Play IF, with COMMUNISM." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Hey, I don't eat farmed meat, so you're not hearing any complaints out of me." | ||||
| McMartin says, "I actually meant more the multiple-players-at-once aspect." | ||||
| Jacqueline laughs. "Oh." | ||||
| inky says, "ha ha" | ||||
