    Another multi-parter, eh? Can’t wait to see how this unfolds! Liking the longer strip, too! :)

    How far back are we talking? 2009?

    Heck. You could go back even further Mr. 38… or is it 39? Surely you remember when blue screens meant your computer was working correctly.

    Of course, the old guy would have to hand the kid off to the Ghost of Gaming History since I doubt his chances of being 105 and not in an assisted-living home even in 2075 (a mere 66 years from now) would be slim.

    The end had me laughing! Honestly, I thought this was a little generic through the first 4 panels, but I thought the end made it more original. Can’t wait for the second strip!

    Just as long as we’re not beaming poop around, I’m along for the ride. :)

    I loved your little story in EP. No doubt this one will be just as good!

    Hey now. Scott and I might make it to 106 years old…

    Technology has a long way to go by then. Maybe we will be heads in jars like Futurama, or live in the Matrix :P

    ah but now the ultimate question, how would you rather be preserved?
    head in a jar or as a computer program?

    @Bear-net The ELR crew should answer that in an upcoming ELR episode :)

    I’m predicting a flashback to frustration of never finishing Pac-Man.

    @Robert: That’s how he gets ya. He leaves a cliff-hanger at the end of each part so you have no choice but to return and read the next one. He’s your master now. :)
