Play-By-Play Commentary

Claw Game

James takes it in a new direction (inside the monster's stomach? Wasn't the monster blown up?) but works Bucky back into the picture. We're looking at some sort of alien monster baby breeding scenario. Bucky, ever stoic, doesn't look worried at all. Bouncy bouncy shellfish. What sort of secret anti-claw weaponry does he have? And what happened to Big Jill? I'm not worried either, the next volley is going to feature some space crab etouffee.

The storytelling is fantastic, but I'm at a bit of a loss for words because there hasn't been a single typeface to rant about yet. Dang. Unless I missed it, there's been no interactivity, either, but maybe that was asking a bit much, as if we're not allready. In fact, I think I've been holding this match up more than the Flashers. Sorry!

Soundtrack to this volley: I'm kind of bummed I wasted stoner rock on the last one. Hmmm "Clampdown" by the Clash is too obvious, I guess this one has Flaming Lips written all over it, I can hear those little claws singing along with the "Yeah yeah yeah yeah"s in their "Yeah Yeah Yeah Song." Like "Yeah Yeah Yeah, we're gonna chop you up, Bucky."
