The game was entitled, "Detention!", and centered around the superheroic students of New Atlantis (formerly San Francisco: if Darren can blow up Detroit, I can remake his home town ) High School having to find and defeat Mechanon.
Mechanon, built by Dr. Professor Professordoctorkaiser to be his attendant, but whose nuclear power was replaced by an anchovy pizza. This is why he hates all organic life.
No, it's not exactly the most serious of games.
One character is the Atomic Kid, who is the leader of the rock band, Louder Than God! The player realized that he could be in Unmasked Identity (that is, Secret) and open for his own band:
"Now opening for 'Louder than God!', 'We're Cool Toooooo!'"
"Oh, you look great! My dog had a sweater just like that!"
"I sense a disturbance in the marshmellow cream."
"You're not hidden to pudding vision!"
"So, you're going to do a Drain on all Anchovy Based Powers?"
"Curse You Derek!!!" (related to the fact that the Uranus jokes continued into my game the next day. There's nothing funny about Uranus. )
Atomic Kid: "I bonded with Ruby."
Ruby: "I was tricked."
"Don't touch it! It's pure evil!" (in reference to a slice of Anchovy Pizza)
"No, you're Javaman. Mr. Swift is over there."
"Daddy, destroy all life on Earth."
During part of the game, the Gray Falcon was sneaking about under the tables in the cafeteria. He was attacked by a ninja clinging to the bottom of a table, who had of course gone unseen by the rest of the school.
Early on, Fidget commented that he was going to the Prom, and would have to change his socks. This lead to the horror that is Toejam, the Living Sock, who lives in Fidget's hollowed out Science! book in his locker. He has to be fed or things get ugly.
"The Old Country, like, Fresno."
Atomic Kid: "You wanna help me grow up?"
Ruby: "You already help yourself enough."
The Gray Falcon would train each day by running through the Gauntlet of Girls, as his fellow students tried to touch him.
Sorceress: "Do you know what Daddy did to get me this dress?!"
Heckler: "Slept with Versacce."
"She didn't throw the first salad."
"My sock ate my book."
At one point, Ruby kicked a puppy in the cafeteria while Iishiro Moshi looked on. The camera focused in on his feet. Shortly, the bowl of rice, now empty, hit the floor. Then, his chopsticks. The camera pans back up, and there stands the Gray Falcon, Hero of New Atlantis. Ready to protect puppies everywhere!
Anchovy Pizza: the source of all hatred.
The evil Toejam, wanting a piece of Pure Hatred for itself, rode "Stupid Mutt, the Wonder Dog" into battle.
GamePhil got a reaction from DocMan in Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
