On a significantly lighter note, here's a fan-fiction
A Cautionary Tale for Crawl Let’s Players: A Fan Fiction
“Hey guys.” I murmur, hoping beyond hope my inanimate computer screen will come to life, patting me on the back.
“Today, we’re gonna try a troll. I read on the wiki…” My words blur into oblivion. Will anyone watch this? Do they even care? Hell, do I even care?
“So as a troll I have claws, but have to eat a lot of meat and stuff.” A pit opened in my stomach. It was two days after my decaying, widowed grandmother’s birthday. I had forgotten to call her. What do I care? I am let’s playing. Surely grandma Shirley would understand, this is my future after all.
“Originally I was going to run a centaur named Fluttershy, my favorite MLP pony, but then I decided that trolls are more like...” It’s been at least 53 hours since I’ve last seen the outdoors, maybe this will be my last one. No. All I need is right here. Family, Friends, Food, Fucking, all right here. On Youtube.
“Oh, so this is Jessica, she’s really tough. I lost my HoMo to he-“ For one second of hideous clarity feedback runs through my headphones, sending a jolt of reality straight into my brain. My god. Was that my voice? Are these my hands? What is this game? It’s not even animated…
“Uh, sorry, guys. So anyway, yeah, Fluttershy is my favorite pony because she’s not afraid of…” I should check my thread. It’s been three weeks, I’ve seen traffic from there. I know they’re watching. Why don’t they like me? I like crawl, don’t they like crawl?
“… Better luck next time I guess. That’s it for today. Bye, guys.”
This will be the one. I know it. I’m not like those other let’s players, surely they see that.
"This time through the dungeon,” I type, “rats! Bats! And… Zombiez?!”
Yeah, I snicker to myself. This is the one.
Authors notes:
I really tried to understand the mind of a let’s player. Capturing the ephemeral brevity that is all of our lives. Crawl exemplifies this and so I think a Crawl let’s player is the perfect subject.
Also, I’m just ‘avin a laugh. I’m taking the piss out ov ya.
ello gov. ello govenah.

If you are offended by something I've posted, just PM me. It probably wasn't intentional.
