Hey TKS!
Is it really redundant for people to have all these
'virus'-esque e-mail parodies spinning offa the SB?
To me, it is.

-And BurninatorBoombox as well

THATKIDSAM: I know! Emails are getting so repetitive these days! I mean...

ICREATURE: (Hey, Thatkidsam! I just ate all of your mushroom tops!)

THATKIDSAM: NOOOOO! Anyway, I agree with you, Marxine. Let's keep a-checking.

THATKIDSAM: Ert plus! Y 7 6 P! 'Olu 8 jykee... What? Is this some kinda virus? I know how to deal with this! {Takes off the back of the Turbo Grafx and inserts another system, the Turbo CD, into it} Behold, the Turbo CD! I'll just put in my own virus-sweeping program... Behold! Virus Bonker 32!

{A title screen of "Virus Bonker 32" appears, with Bonk on it. It skips to the loading screen, where Bonk attempts to climb a hill with his teeth. When he gets to the top, a sign saying "No viruses found." appears next to Bonk.}

THATKIDSAM: Well, that's a relief. Now is my intention to sit down and play Bonk's Revenge for several hours. {Takes out the Turbo CD, replaces the back, and inserts the Bonk's Revenge card.} Doo doo doo doo doo, yay! I beat the first level! Now, I have to... What!?

{An enemy carrying a sign appears. That sign says... "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO LAWRENCE!"}

THATKIDSAM: Well, if my virus bonker didn't say anything, there's no virus! Just have to beat this eggshell-headed person... dragon... giant... AAAAH!!!

{Every character on the screen mutates to 20X6, then 1936, then current-day, and over and over again until the Blue Screen of Death appears.}

THATKIDSAM: Maybe there really is a virus!

{The TV suddenly turns off, and a large crack appears in the screen. The Turbo Grafx suddenly starts bouncing around. It lands in an air duct and explodes, sending debris throughout the house. The Turbo is ruined!}

THATKIDSAM: No! My Turbo!! I pine for you! {A long while passes, Thatkidsam grieves} Oh, wait... Don't I have, like, 50 extras in my vault? Right! {Runs away, then returns with a new widescreen TV and Turbo Grafx} Now, let's get to checkin'!

Dear Thatkidsam,
what is kristicreature's deal?

krystal.

THATKIDSAM: We're live with a live interview by Icreature! Live! Did I mention it's live? I guess I didn't! This is a live interview with KristIcreature! Now, please start the interview, Icreature.

ICREATURE: So, Kristi. Where did you come from?

KRISTICREATURE: Well, like all Icreatures, I developed inside a human being and devoured them from the inside out over the years. Then, I was sold to a butler. Here he is! Hi, Lawson!

LAWSON: Hello, everyone. You might know me better as the father of Lawrence!

ICREATURE: Next question: Why did you... Hey! The lights are out!

MYSTERIOUS VOICE: MUAHAHAHAHAHA, primitive beings! My virus has spread, and I have infected your world! If you wish to continue your foolish lives, toss all of your master's Turbo Grafxs and Turbo CDs outside the window! Don't forget his e-mail game!

ICREATURE: Awesome! Kristi, help me load the systems onto the dump truck.

{Many hours later, Thatkidsam walks in and finds that there is no Turbo Grafx in front of the TV.}

THATKIDSAM: Hey, where's that computer I had? Hey, where are all the systems filed under T in my vault? ...NOOOOOOO!!!

{Several badly-drawn paper Turbo Grafx U-Cards line up at the top of the screen displaying the message "Click Here to E-Mail Thatkidsam @ [email protected]"}

Easter Eggs

• Click on the imprint of the Turbo Grafx on the carpet to see Thatkidsam pondering his next system.

THATKIDSAM: Well, I could go with Turbo CD, but I'd need a Turbo Grafx for that... I could use CD-i, but I already sold that... My WonderSwan is outta batteries... I would never use a popular system... I can't code Intellivision and Colecovision games-

Fun Facts

• "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO LAWRENCE" is a reference to the All Your Base craze.
• When Thatkidsam mentions "eggshell-headed person" he is making a reference to the super-commonly found enemies in the Bonk series.

Author's Comments

• Rating: D-
• Except for the repeated attempts at answering an email and poking fun at all of the Other Character Email / Wiki User Email virus duplicates, there was nothing in this that I liked.

Author Commentary

SUPER SONIC X: Hey, everybody. Welcome to the commentary for virus. Thatkidsam edition.

THATKIDSAM: Yeah. I like it when editions are named after me. I think... Yeah... I'm kinda tired... Anyway, welcome to the commentary. ...This email was a parody of all the sbemails that find their way into my inbox.

SSX: I agree with you completely. Like, this one time, I got an email that had...um...well, it had something unoriginal. Really unoriginal.
