Do you happen to have a backup of yourself, ia?
Hahahaha! Well, too late now.

The cheesy banter and hyperactive "cheerfulness" here are perfect.

I was wondering if anyone would make use of the video game interpretation of the prompt. It's after my time, but a viable choice for someone!

Gauntlet: Reminding you of the importance of backups since 2089!

Kablooey? Kablooey. This seems like a game show that goes through a lot of HQs, really.

Yeah, I assume they have high speed cutoffs to resume coverage within tens of milliseconds, or something :p

Very funny, lovely zany-ness.

Zany is as zany does, is what my mother always said.

(no she didn't)

[lrig_rorrim]

That name. :P

Also, having been forced to watch far too many sportsball games of one sort or another, I really enjoyed the voice in this. Also, the ending was quiiiite satisfying.

Did you see the sportsland sportsfolk at the Sportsball Cup the other day? There's a reason they're number one in points, definitely.

Hahaha, this is great. Loved the commentary, and that guy's name is perfection.

What, you've never seen a Zalgoth name before? Very common in Sector ZZ9 Singular Z Alpha.
