No racism, sexism, etc.

Ill start

"Alright everybody thats our show, tomorrow a new "How To Play the Game", see ya!"

"aaaaaand cut" said Tom

"Jared, are you gonna be home tonight?"
"Nah I got work Joey, why?"
"Oh, I just thought we could play Street Fighter IV..."
"Tomorrrow?"
"Tomorrow"

The sun was setting over suberbian Dallas as the GH crew filed out of the Hanley house.

A red sports car suddenly pulled up, a woman in a buissness suit got out

"Are you the Gameheroes?"
"Yes"
"Monique L'Shay, I work for a manager in Hollywood and I love the Podcast! Tom, you have made something special, and I'm willing to pay 6 figures each to get Y'all on TV!"

To Be Continued

Let's take a crack at this, wont add much, but whatever, gotta keep this thing going...*ahem*

---
8-Bit Mickey perks right up after hearing the offer from across the room and runs over to the doorway, "Six figures!?" he shouted in excitement looking at the business woman, "That's like...a figure for each of us!".

Tom looks down at Mickey and pats him on the head, "A for effort there pal. Why don't you go start editing the show together while I work things out over here."

Mickey takes off and Tom redirects his attention back to Ms. L'Shay, "So..." Tom began, raising one eyebrow, ""On T.V." you say?..."

To Be Continued

Ms L'Shay: "Television would be the outlet of choice of course" Ms L'Shay says as she walks closer to Tom.

She puts her arm around Tom's shoulder and extends her other arm, as Tom looks at her slightly perplexed.

Ms L'Shay: "Imagine" she says as her extended arm sweeps across the horizon "You would be able to reach millions of people world wide, through televsion, through your website and other media avenues."

Joey steps in and gets inbetween Tom and Ms L'Shay.

Joey: "As great as this sounds, it seems too good to be true. Its not like some random person appears out of nowhere, on the day we record our show, at the specific time were done, right as we are all outside getting ready to leave, to offer us this huge deal out of the blue. You havent even told us where youre from, what you do, how youre going to pull this off or how any of its going to work!"

From a distance you hear a window open up and Mickey yell out "Ya! What he said!"

Tom looks over at Ms L'Shay with one eyebrow raised and realises how odd this whole situation seems.

Tom: "Care to maybe help us out on some of the details?"

Ms L'Shay: "Well it all started like this..."

To be continued...

Ms L'Shay: "You see, the firm I represent has been in the management business for decades. For years, we've committed to putting on the best shows the world has to offer."

Joe: "Okay, what kind of shows have you developed?"

Ms L'Shay: "Well, mostly circus shows."
Joe: *with a blank stare*"Circus Shows?"
Ms L'Shay: "Yeah."
Joe: "What do circus shows have to do with video game podcasts?"
Ms L'Shay: "We're looking to branch out."
Joe: "You're gonna branch out from circus shows to video game podcasts?"
Tom: "Stepping up in the world."
Mickey: Hells Yeah!
L'Shay: But Honestly y'all, I'm personally a huge fan of yours. And I want to help you guys make to the big time. You guys are struggling, so are we, perhaps if we put our resources together....
Mickey: WE CAN STRUGGLE TOGETHER!
Joe: Mickey, sit.
L'Shay: That's why I love him......so cute. Anyway though, I must leave, but my boss would like to meet you. I told her you guys owned a restaurant in Denton, and she would love to see your fine establishment. 8:00, be there.
L'Shay: And please wear your Sunday best.
Andy: It's Wednesday.
L'Shay: Dress to impress, that better? You folks have a good day.

Andy: Circus shows?

To be continued.....

"I dont know about all this" Tom said while buttoning his shirt
"I know, but we cant just blow this off." Liz was putting her formal make up on
"I just- I don't know....Do we want all this?"
"Look, theres one time in ev-"
"...every marriage where I ask you to do something.... I saw the Simpsons Movie too, yknow!"


That night, they all met at Palio's

*At Palios, Tom, Joe, Andy, Jared, and Liz wait patiently as Mickey is feverishly cooking for the guests.

Mickey: WHY THE HELL AM I ONLY ONE COOKING?!
Joe: *standing over the counter* "It's simple, we're wearing suits, and you don't own one. Due to the fact that you don't own a suit and the fact we don't want to get messy, you, by default, have to cook."
Mickey: "How is that justifiable?"
Joe: "How do you justify breaking my damn phone?!"
Mickey: "NO PHONES DURING 8-BIT NEWS!"
Tom: *points his attention toward Joe and Mickey* "Hey! Stifle!"
Jared: "What time is it?"
Andy: "8:30"
Tom: "What?" *checks his phone* "Half-hour late, I'm getting more and more worried about this."
Jared: "I'm leaving, this is crap. Let me know what happens."
Tom: "No, you stay. I'll give it another 30 minutes, and then we will leave."

To be continued...

i own a suit...
and i dont work at the palios really anymore lol

It's a script, play along...

... i need battle armor lol

The door swung open at 8:46 and Monique walked in on her cell phone
"No, no nono, thats not what I want thats not what I asked for th- look I otta go, bue"

"I am so sorry for keepin yall-"
"Before you go on" Tom interjected"Whats with a Californian sayin 'yall'"

"I grew up here actually, thats what drew me here. Look, Tom Ill keep it frank and short, I started watching you on Screwattack and I just think you are so funny, and you truly live up to the 'handsome' part of your name" she said in a flirtatious voice

"Oh, no, you, didn't!" Liz was quick to intervene

"Oh, I- I'm sorry, this is your-"
"wife" Liz informed her


"Pizza, beer, and fries" Mickey said as he served

"you!" she looked at Mickey, "You are so, so funny, I love your news, and your just, yknow, I just love you!"

"If you're thinking about doing anything......I dont date tramps"

"OK, screw this I have talent to find"

"NO wait!!!"

Tom took a big sigh, "OK, were in"

this is pretty good..

but needs more cameos from the moderating team IMO

"Wait."

*Everyone diverts their attention to Andy.*

Andy: "Are you serious Tom? C'mon, you're not gonna buy what she is saying, are you?"
Tom: "This is a huge step for us."
Andy: "Yeah, but she keeps us waiting for 45 minutes, she didn't really give us much specifics, tries to seduced you, attempts to make Mickey feel relevant, and you gonna jump at the bit for cash? And for the record, where's the big shot boss that wants to invest his circus money into our show?!"
Ms. L'Shay: .......
Mickey: "YEAerr.....Wait what, what do you mean by making me feel relevant?"
Andy: "Well Mick, 8-bit news is great and all, but the fans tune to our shows for two reasons. Interaction with the show's hosts........and The Music."
Jared: "The Music? Excuse me, you forgot about Classy Finds..."
Mickey: "8-BIT NEWS IS THE GREATEST SEGMENT EVER MADE!"

"Personally, I like forum questions......."

*Everyone shifts their vision toward the door. Two giant men stand in attention with their hands cross one over the another in the front of them. The two men split apart to reveal a white suit.....A woman in a white suit. The Game Heroes come to a realization......this is the boss.

"Lady and Gentlemen, my name is Francoise LeBaron....and I here to change you lives forever..."
Tom: "The way Ms. L'Shay vaguely described you, I could have sworn you sounded like a man.
LeBaron: "Well, I guess in this business relationship between I and Monique you could say...*Francoise slowly glides her finger down Monique's face*..I'm the man in this relationship."

*As the men in the room start to look aroused, Andy snaps his finger, looks toward the camera, and breaks 4th wall.*

Andy: Hi, AndyTheMovieTheGame here. As much as we would like to explore more into this very erotic subject, we won't for the sensitivity of some. However, the idea of lesbians.......*Andy nods his head.....yeah. *Andy snaps his fingers and we're back to the feature presentation.*

LeBaron: "Now please, could we sit, and discuss plans for the The Game Heroes."

To be continued....

"I'm thinking ....primetime on Comedy Central, G4, Spike!"

"Listen you 1990s convertible, I dont want to sell out!" said Jared

"But Jared, you want a music career don't you?"

"Y-yes"

"You got it!"

"And you Tom, you want a new place, and oh, I dont know, a contract with the NBA"

"Joey, you want a good place for you and your wife to live, a new house perhaps?"

"yup"

"Andy, you want a career in acting."

"yes, thatd be amazing!"

"Liz-"

"I don't want your crap"

"Yes you do, what do you most desire?"

Liz knew exactly what was coming

*As the rest of the Game Heroes crew discuss business with LeBaron, Mickey stews in the back of the kitchen, thinking of the insult thrown to him by Andy....*

Mickey: Irrelevant? How dare Andy say such a thing. He waltz on the show, and acts as though he's better than me. God Dammit, I've been on this show since the very beginning. Hell, I was around during the ScrewAttack Days. Dammit, I WAS THE BREAKOUT STAR OT THE GEEK FIGHT, I SHALL CLAIM MY GLORY!!!!!!!

*Mickey start to search the kitchen for stuff he can use. He looks around and notices the baking sheets sitting on the shelf, a pot near the sink, and duct tape near the desk. Mickey grabs the tape.*

Mickey: It's time to put the skills I learned through MacGuyver to good use. *Mickey pulls the tape to make that tape ripping noise.*

Elsewhere, Liz stews over what LeBaron is offering along with the rest of the crew. Tom continues talking to LeBaron.*

Tom: So, I don't get it....how did you come to find out about us?
LeBaron: Well, Ms. L'Shay kept blabbering about some video game show on the internet, and I took a look at it, I showed it to my constituents, and they liked it. They sent me here.
Tom: So you being here is a good sign?
LeBaron: Yeah, unless I find you hard to deal with.
Tom: Well, I assure you, there nothing screwy about us.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

*Before anything else can be said. Mickey busts on the scene screaming. Decked out with a pot on his head, metal baking sheets taped to his chest and abdomen, and wielding a giant rolling pin. It appears to be some kind of...armor. Joe can't help blurting out.....

Joe: WHAT THE F**K?!
Mickey: I AM SIR 8-BIT MICKEY! KNIGHT OF THE GAME HEROES ROUNDTABLE!!!
*Jared tries to control his laughter.*
Liz: Oh my god.....
Jared: This is ridiculous. I'm filming it.
Andy: Stupidity at it's finest folks.
Mickey: I AM HERE TO VANQUISH THE NAYSAYERS!!! AND TO CLAIM THE GLORY THAT IS RIGHTFULLY MINE!!
Tom: Mickey, what are you doing?
Mickey: *Calms down. And gets back to his senses.* "It's what Andy said. Am I really irrelevant?"
Tom stands up, walks toward Mickey, and takes the pot off his head.
Tom: Mickey, you honestly believe you'd be on the show if you were irrelevant?
Mickey: Well, no.
Tom: You're an important part of the show, and I'm glad to have you here. You edit the shows, and you fill people in on the gaming news they need to know.
Mickey: Thanks Tom, I appreciate that. But what am I getting out of the deal?
LeBaron: Ten copies of Chrono Trigger for the SNES. In the box, and sealed.
Mickey: Well folks, that's all I needed to hear. Tom, sign it now.
Joe: Before he signs anything, take those damn pans off you body. We use those for cooking. Make sure you wash that damn pot!
LeBaron: EXCUSE ME! Now you are wasting my time, and I'm not gonna wait any longer. I'm at the point of leaving, so the ultimatum is on the table. Either you sign, or I leave. In or out?

To be continued.....

*Mickey begins to sweat profusely and lick his lips at the thought of those Chrono Trigger games. He gets all fidgety like a 4 year old who has to pee.*

Mickey: IN! IN! IN!

The group in unison: Shut up!

Tom: Lets think about this, we're awesome and cutting edge because we're independent... we don't have to play by anybody's rules!

the group: Yeah!

Joe: We're the Charles Bronson of the internet gaming community!

the group: Yeah!

Andy: Yeah, or like the Dane Cook of the internet!
*the group gives Andy a cold stare, Jared walks up very stern, pauses, and then slaps him*

Liz: I'm not so sure we wanna betray all of our fans for our own personal gain!

*Mickey looks around nervously and slinks off screen*

LeBaron: *whispers to L'Shay* I though you said these yokels would play along! *turns to the group* Alright, my friends, we can work something out, how about this, you guys can have full con-

*Mickey appears from behind LeBaron with a rag in one hand and cuts her off*
Mickey: Hey LeBaron, does this smell like chloroform to you? *shoves rag in her face, she faints*

*L'Shay screams, Jared's monocle pops out into a glass of fine bandy*

the group: MICKEY!!!

*Mickey mutters under his breath* Chrono Triggers....

To be continued....

L'shay got on her cell

"OK, theyre not taking the bait."


"Well....you are dead men!"
"AHEM"
"and woman"
"Thank you"
"Mr. Thompson wont like this, no no no, and now...." she takes out a handgun "you will all be part of a horrible accident here at Pa-" WHAM!
Our heroes look up to see a figure holding a frying pan

Damn! I had a whole Final Fantasy IV inspired fight scene all written out then this came up! Shit. I'll try again.

soooooo am i the random comic relief that appears to be addicted to chrono trigger?

Who wouldn't want that role?

full of win
