A panda walks into a bar, and orders a sandwhich, once he is finished, he shoots the guy next ot him at the bar and leaves. The bartender goes: "What the hell did you do that for?" The panda replies: "I'm a Panda, look it up in the dictionary." The bartender checks the dictionary, where it reads: Pandas eat shoots and leaves.
Another joke for you: A duck walks into a bar, and asks the bartender: "Got any gwapes?" the bartender says, "Nope." The next day, the duck comes in and asks again, the bartender says, "Nope, we don't carry Grapes." The duck walks in a third time, and asks AGAIN, the bartender says, "No, God-Damnit, I don't have any Grapes!" The fourth day, the duck walks into the bar, and before he can speak, the Bartender says: "If you ask one more time if I "'Got any Gwapes?" I'm going to staple your feet to the counter. So the duck says: "Got any staples?" The bartender says, "Nope." The duck replies: "Got any 'Gwapes?"
It's better told out loud, rather than text, as all jokes are, but it's mildly amusing anyway. And keep up the work Shadows, or we will send Bob after you. <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif' /><!--endemo-->

"It seemed so cliché, so commonly stupid: Spaceship collects hostile alien; Spaceship conducts illegal research; Spaceship has an unstoppable outbreak. Every bit of science fiction over the centuries has taught us not to put ourselves in this situation. Still, some idiot parent somewhere decides not to raise their kid on TV and videogames, and then that child grows up, becomes a corporate head and illegally researches aliens. Then the aliens break out and eat his brains, and his mother wonders where she went wrong."

*sigh* I've wanted to work on this, but ontop of a job and several other projects.... it's not seeing the time it needs. I can't say when I'll be able to get the next chapter finished, and I understand a majority of people will loose interest by then, if they haven't already.
blah. plus this was supposed to be a 2.0/3.0 transition from the original game version... little late for that too, heh.... blah.
Meh, no problems - I'll still read it whenever it goes up <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
The story and it's plot are still excellent. Even if it was supposed to be a transition backdrop for 2.0 to 3.0, it's characters are so lively and the storyline so solid that it could be a sort of universe unto itself that branches off from NS, but is still in there. A lot like <i>Unknown Enemy</i>, eh?
Might not be very relevant to current events, but it's still a superb read. And if I may, <i>Monster</i> beats the daylights out of <i>Unknown Enemy</i>. <i>Monster</i> captures what I think is the quintessance of a perfect sci-fi story. It has stayed interesting after it's 20+ chapter and has got great horror, action, and "mental-eye" candy <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

That was slightly amusing reading your last post. I remember back when I had my keyboard set to German, and I didn't know the y and z were switched. Great story man, you should give it to flayra when you're done with it and have it be an official fanfic, like Six Days in Sanji, only it will be finished, and Six Days in Sanji won't. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Aren't you back from Ireland yet? Come on, WE NEED MORE MONSTER. BTW my website is nearly ready for going online, as soon as i can settle on how i want it to look, i will contact you so we can arrange to get monster on there. I'm thinking something simple, html, as opposed to flash or anything as it will be too much hassle to update. Just a quick question, do you have any idea how long monster is going to be in total? eg No. of chapters?
Good stuff as always, DeepShadows, keep it up. ^_^ <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Deepshadows, how do you keep yourself focused? I find myself continually jumping ahead of myself, losing track of what i'm supposed to be doing, and having to re-write entire chapters because im repeating or contradicting myself. Can you give me any help? or will i just continue to go insane writing this story of mine?
