Random Snippets

Imagining a computer as a quasi-sentinent being might not be a completely new idea, but it hasn't been done that often – especially as a comedy. This particular computer's role is to serve its 'master', as it calls Jason. This might imply doing whatever he wants, but now, the computer simply knows that Jason is about to make a mistake which will scar him for life. Being active in an online role-playing game, he has met an 'Elfen Maiden'. Things are pointing towards a real-life date between the two. However, there are no women on the Internet (at least not Elvish ones), so the computer just knows that this must be a guy just playing the part. A look at Jason's porn stash confirms he would not be (sexually) interested in another man. So the player, taking over the role of the computer, has to prevent this date from happening... and maybe hook Jason up with someone more suitable.
