EPIC CONVERSATIONS, PART 3: OREGON TRAIL EDITION

"its the oregon trail wagon on fire"

"sweeeeeet
that game rocked my socks. i loved hunting. that shit was hard. it made me feel like i was n the trail and delirious from hunger."

"did you play the version where you had to type out POW to hunt"

"i must have, yeah"

"BANG POW
SHOOT
GRENADE LAUNCH"

"it has a batman the tv show feel to it. BLAMMO! ZOWEE!
without the cool horn sound effects of course"

"TREBUCHET!
(the font)"

"GLISSANDO!
DENOUEMENT
DEUS EX MACHINA"

"typing DEUS EX MACHINA rapidly, and in-succession does nothing for your chances of survival on the Oregon Trail"

"i disagree.
the hand of god sweeps downward, saving your party from utter decimation by plucking you into the sky, allowing you to bypass the rocky mountain range"

"so it's kind of like that part in Super Mario Brothers where if you jump on the stairs with the turtle shell enough times you get infinite lives"

"thats exactly like it. and oddly enough this is how our forefathers made it.
lewis to clark: 'man no ones gonna believe us about the magic turtle'."
