Default April 1



So it finally occurred to me -- this site has strayed from its mission. My fivers used to be short, but nowadays it takes about a week to read one. Well, no more! From now on, this is Five-Second Voyager. And that's good news for you, because my backlog just shrank from one-twelfth its normal length to one-seven-hundred-twentieth. I've already caught up on Season 4, and that's just today!


In other news, we now know why evay likes seeing Trip injured all the time: her ultimate goal is to cripple him. Fetishist.

Oh, to address a point that Tarn-Vedra just made....

[00:03] Tarn-Vedra: Is another one of your "I didn't plan ahead so this 1-day event is going to become a week-and-a-half-at-least thing" events?

No. My current plan is a compromise between a one-day thing and the insanely long April Fool's events 5MV is known for -- three days. Trilogies are still cool, right?

Good job Zeke! Having not seen any of season 4, I feel like I watched it all!

Hehe, 5SE...I like it. Kinda like taping a show, skipping the commercials and parts that look boring, and only watching stuff that involves the characters you like...

The fivers are great, but I feel like I'm missing something, as though they were... *GASP!* FIVER TRAILERS!

juuuuuuuuuuuuuuust kidding!

I still feel like I'm missing something, maybe it's The one for Observer Effect (I DO get the Schrodinger's Cat reference however)

Initial reaction went something like:

Hmmmm....

So Zeke reenvisioned 5MV as 5SE and put out a whole raft of fivers, and he let us know this on April --

No, that can't be it.

And there was a one-day ev--

No. I'm sure I'm reading too much into things as usual. I've got to stop doing that.

... is the fact that you were able to copyright these a year before you published them, and before they ever aired!

Five seconds? I just don't have that kind of spare time! Now, if we're getting down into the nano range, then maybe I'll be able to sit down and read some of these.

Whee!
