The Johnny Turbo Story

[Iron Draggon]

I dunno if this has ever been posted here or not, but I ran across it today and thought it was totally hilarious, so I thought I'd share it. There's alot of foul language in it, and it's a very long story, but it's really funny. The comics are all funny enough as they are, but the analysis of them is even funnier. Well worth the long reading time for all the laughs. I was rolling on the floor over and over again. Enjoy it. I know I did!

That's where I got my avatar.




<------Recognize this fella?

My favorite part about the campaign is the sub-fanboy level of logic. All of the arguments they make are downright laughable. There's all the homoerotic overtones too, of course.

COOL. Hey, are we allowed to have graphics in our signatures here? And if so, what are the size limitations for their dimensions? I made myself a new one for another site that I hang out at from one of the pics of Johnny Turbo.

Hey, glad you liked it! The article needs updating badly, though...I've gotten all kinds of contributions since I last touched it (including, most impressively, a piece of fanart that was drawn and given to me at CGE2K3 - be afraid), and I've also gotten ahold of the real Johnny Turbo's email address. I can't decide whether or not it's worth the risk to get in contact with him, though...his former employees make him sound like a pretty scary guy. "YOU'RE JACKING ME, STEVE."

Also, Tony avatar = GOLD.

Haha, great job on that. I really laughed my ass off reading through the whole thing.

Man, I only wish they could have made more installments... Judging by how the thing was degenerating so much, who knows where they would have taken it? I seriously would have loved to see them top that last one though.

[Iron Draggon]

Whoa, COOL! The man himself is here! I should've known! I sent you a copy of the sig that I made (before resizing and reformatting of course) so you should have one more little Johnny Turbo tidbit in your emailbox by now.

And I would totally email the real guy, if I were you. It would be interesting to see how he feels about what's no doubt become the bane of his very existence. Besides, I wanna know more about the real Tony Ancona too!

BTW, if your bandwidth suddenly shoots up a few notches, it's probably because I've been posting links to the story at all the other sites I hang out at. This story is way too funny to not share it with all the gamers I know.

The first two were downright hilarious. The third makes me want to hide under the bed with a flashlight.

Ah, Johnny Turbo. His utter cheesiness personified everything I miss about gaming ten years ago. Those were some REAL system wars...bad mouthing your opponent whenever humanly possible. When and why did the system wars become so docile?
