I have nothing against winter, but there's a reason I was living near the equator before this. And the robots keep dropping off more decorations at my house and it's starting to get creepy? When did this become a reoccurring theme in my life.Anyways, has anyone figured out how to tell the 'bots when you have enough tinsel and so on? I don't speak ( Read more... )

So, uh.

[ Hey network, have an Altman. He's looking mildly perplexed as he holds up a handful of tiny mechanical... things. Upon closer inspection they look like tiny Laserbeaks and insects, and... are those lenses? ]Is anyone else finding anything like these around their house? Every time I clean I find more of these things and it's. Uh. Starting ( Read more... )

[ Well, he's done his best to make these as private as possible, but Altman's not a computer whiz. Not that it really matters, but. Yeah. ]

[ Altman appears on screen, it looks like he’s actually about to say something, but somewhere behind him, Skyfire passes through the view, carrying a stack of folded towels.

[ He starts coughing--a rather wet, definitely unhealthy sound that half the network is probably familiar with by now--and ends up wheezing uncomfortably. ]

Fuck.

Anyone in Residential Zone Banks should probably avoid the Southernmost few blocks. ( Read more... )

[ If you don't know Altman's voice, the first few seconds are your only real indication of who's working the camera right now--there's about a second and a half of his face as he flips on the wearable, then the video immediately swings down to... track pants, running shoes, and what looks to be an oversized roomba ( Read more... )
