Taedium is Latin for 'weariness' and 'boredom'.
Its also part of the Latin proverb Taedium Vitae, which means 'to feel that life is boring and wearisome"
Has nothing to do with anything. I just thought it sounded cool.

My name? It is pretty obvious, I fused the Autobot leader Optimus Prime with a slab of delicious meat, prime rib, and divided by 0 thus forming OPTIMUS PRIME RIB. Yeah, it's kind of dumb but I stuck with it, and that's how everyone knows me, so I'll keep it.

I just recently shortened it to Optimus, to be more streamline and sophistimacated. I'll probably change it back eventually.

I made up my name....you have to go back....way back...before the "web"...back to the days of the C64. Name started out as Sir Lord Stalker, when I was calling up ye olde BBS around town.

But I dropped the Sir just before I opened up my own BBS.

Normally my name is "Philber" just "Phil" with a hint of interwebz technologiez. I use that on almost everything, *except* Steam. My name has changed many times.

The two most dominant ones have been "Zombait" (Because in L4D, I would rush or go off the path or something purposely, and distract the enemy team while the rest of mine advanced) and of course, "Bishop".

I got this name from a character in UT3 (too bad the game sucked :( ) There was also Rook and Knight but I liked this one the best. Diagonal lines for the win :woop:

Crocket, the man, the love, and the mistake
-Part 1-
Many years ago, before the internet and things like popcorn, or Netflix existed, when barbarians ruled the earth in search of twizzlers and blockbusters, a dynasty which is totally real and not made up, was ending.

The PyuPyu dynasty was, for very long, a strong dynasty. Though many had tried to conquer it, none prevailed. PyuPyu was once in between the QyuQyu and the Hax empires. There ruthless emperors were no match to the power of the trolls that the PyuPyu called upon. PyuPyu had grown much in size since these wars. They had enslaved the country of Fictionopia. Every day they stole thousands of men, women, children, and kittens to do slave labor.

The neighboring countries of Chenopia, Kookoostan, and others around took note of these crimes. They would not stand for such human right violations, because they didn’t think of it first. They waged a war, many who claimed was the stupidest thing since Kayne West was born. Outnumbered and completely surrounded, the first wave was crushed like Indian Jones’s head between Chuck Norris’s thighs. We will never know what happened next, as the truth is covered spoiler tags. However, only one army arose victorious. Who, when, and where are all mysteries.

It's gonna be more then 3 parts.
-Part 2-
Today, the world is in peril, the kind of peril that would make a certain Dr. Freeman come and save the day. But unfortunately, G-Man’s voice actor took a vacation, delaying his release for another few days. In valve time, that is. Mass production has lead for the need of more intelligent robots. A robot known as HAL was in charge of production. These robots were produced for one purpose, to perform slave labor. Oh, and make great pancakes. They had two purposes. Many years of production had lead to an influx of these robots. It was nearly impossible in and urban area not to see one. Unless you were blind. Then it was totally possible. Then a great war had started, between Humans and Demons. Many were injured or killed. Those few who survived became the first Androids, all with experimental function.

One Andriod in particular made a difference in that war. That man, Code Name Crocket, became the first fully functional android of many. At least 100,000 were made after his model, but none had one function that he had. A function that gave him his nickname, the Exploding Android. He could juggle. Oh, and explode without and damage to himself. Yeah, whatever. He could juggle, man! Juggle!

One day, it came time for his redeployment. That war you read about before, yeah, still kickin’. He was airdropped right in the middle of battle. He ran like a Mexican from the immigration department. Then he ran into the middle of a field of demons. He screamed at the top of his lungs “For Allah!” and blew up. What he saw he almost couldn’t believe...

Much more then 3.
-Part 3-
He had destroyed more than just the demons. The entire Battlefield: Bad company 2 video game was flattened to a reasonable price on steam as well. Also, he had leveled the entire Battle field. There were no survivors. He didn’t know what to do. He thought if he returned back, the humans would have him executed. He ran to the only place he could. The demons.

He wasn’t sure what horrors awaited him in the cave the demons were hiding in. Perhaps a Miley Cyrus concert. Or worse. He dared not think of what lied ahead, or what he left behind. For him, he just needed to keep moving forward. Then he hit the cave wall. So he decided it would also be in his best interest to turn when necessary. He had made it to the demon hideout.

“Halt, who goes there?” screamed a guard in a voice which could be described as shrill and Surnemesque (Much love man)

“They call me Crocket, the Explosive Android. I seek food, shelter, and care. And I don’t want no fucking essentials kit the airport gave me.” he responded.

“Why should we let you in, you’re with the humans.” the guard said, very imposingly.

“Because I’m an explosion waiting to go off, you’d better take me in, or I’ll blow all you to pieces.” Crocket said with an accent.

“That’s not that funny, considering this is supposed to be a comedy. You couldn’t have come up with something a little funnier?” said the guard, doing serious damage to the 4th wall. “I suppose I have no choice. You may come in.”

What awaited him inside would change the rest of his life.

This is starting to fell like it will become very long.
-Part 4-
No monsters he had seen in the battle field were there, mainly because he had blown them to bits before he got a good look. What he saw was what looked like women, all with slight differences in physical appearances. Some had bunny ears, some had cats, it was like that furry convention he totally never went to. They were all upset. Crocket thought he knew why. He was correct. He had basically killed every person there’s lover. Way to go, douche bag.

He stood idly and one by one noticed Crocket standing there. They caused quite a bit of ruckus with the discovery of him. They began to question him from every direction. He liked it like that. Wait, what? Nevermind. He stood there, and just took it all in. To be honest he was a little high, he hung out with Viano before he was dropped into the mission.

He couldn’t enunciate his proclamations, speechless a virtue he held steadfast (AIM Speak translate: H3 DIDN’T NO WUT 2 SAY). He stood there, ominous, attempting frugally to forge an apology that didn’t appear nugatory. (H3 WAS THEIR AND TREID 2 SAY SORY). He began to articulate when a woman’s apparition re-silenced him. (H3 DIDNT TOK B/C OF A PR3TY LADY). She approached him, and uttered “You do not belong amongst us. What are you doing here?” (SH3 SADE Y R U HER3?)
He didn’t know what to say. He was still speechless. She asked again. “What are you doing here?”

‘I have nowhere else to go.’ was what he intended to say. Instead, all he could get out was “Help.” which is odd, because help wasn’t in the original sentence. He passed out, and fell forward onto the women.

Like break 30 parts.
-Part 5-
When Crocket woke up, everything was a haze, not from the extra drugs Viano gave him, but because he couldn’t remember where he was or why he was there. He felt his head, because it was sore. There was a bump. When he fell onto the mystery woman, she was wearing rare unobtainium armor. He was lucky to escape with just a bump, and not some form of cancer (Unobtainium is highly radioactive, like the SuperAIDS of radiation). This was all reviled to him like it was to you. Through convenient narration to cover up plot holes.

Now understanding the situation, he remembers what happened, get up startled. “Looks like you’re up” said the mystery woman.

“Yeah, but exactly where am I?” questioned Crocket, being extremely rude. Seriously, the protagonist is a douche bag.

“You’re in my house, not far from the commotion you cause.” said Mystery Woman, proving even more the douche baggery level of Crocket.

“Yeah, sorry… Do you ever have the felling someone somewhere is talking poorly of you?” He responded.

Douche.

“Hmmm, can’t say I really know what you mean. But that is unimportant. I am curious as to why you have come here so desperately.” said Mysterion. I mean Mystery Woman.

“Well, certain things came up and I had to run away.” said the Douche.

“You’re different from other humans I’ve seen.” She was commenting on the tear on his jacket which revealed a robotic arm. That appears to be the only damage he suffered from the explosion, the loss of a $70 jacket.

“I’m an android, part human, part robot.” He explained. Maybe that’s why he’s such a douche bag.

“I see. An android. Where have I heard that before?” She asked. Then a convenient plot devise fell from the ceiling onto Crocket’s head. He seems to have bad luck today.

The parts will only get longer.
-Part 6-

When Crocket woke up, he was in a different place. This time, it looked more like a cell. The Mystery Lady, and Mystery Lady 2 were fighting. Mystery Lady 2 was the first voice he heard. “Listen to me, Ran, I don’t care what the stone says, this guy destroyed our entire armory. We’re defenseless now because of him. This guy is a total Douche Bag.”
I’m not the only one who thinks so.

“Listen, Yukari, you may have seen the battle from you netherworld, but you can’t prove that this android was the one who did it. Why would he run here if he had just destroyed our army, but not have destroyed us already?” Said Ran.

“Maybe he’s just waiting. Anyway, I: don’t have time for this. By the time I’m back, I want him gone, do you understand?” commanded Yukari.

“Yes master.” Yukari disappeared into a warp between dimensions. Ran sat down, banging her fist to the table. If she put out her two fingers, I’d start playing Metallica.

“So your name is Ran?” said Crocket, trying to sound as pompous as possible.

“Who told you that?” She asked with concern.

“You did right now.” He responded, calmly, almost to make a fool of her.

“Oh. And what of it?” Ran asked

“Nothing. It’s a name I’ve never heard of before. Is it unique?” Crocket asked.

“No, it’s not original. Similarities between any character in this series and any character from any Touhou game are purely coincidental, and not at all the result of an inside joke.” She spoke, monotonously.

“What?” questioned Crocket?

“Nothing, just something that popped into my head.” responded Ran.

-Part 7-

“Hey narrator, don’t divide this part into two sections!” screamed Ran.

But it’s getting really long.

“I don’t care, we’re not done.”

-Part 7 later, Part 6 continues-

“So why were you so mad?” questioned Crocket.

“My master, Yukari, she wants to execute you.” Ran responded.

“Huh? Why?” demanded Crocket.

“She thinks you’re the android who bombed the battle field wiping out our entire army. In retrospect, it wasn’t a good idea to put all of our troop on one battle field.” Explained Ran.

“Oh. That’s all…” mutter Crocket, very nervously, like he wanted to reveal the fact he did it. The retard.

“Well, I’m gonna lock up. I’ll be back here tomorrow with your execution date.” said Ran.

“Okay… wait!” But it was too late. Will our hero escape this next set of challenges? Probably, considering I need to cover a lot more stuff happening.

I started using the name "Krandel" when I played a game called "Rumble Fighter" Before then, I used alot of random usernames by either taking out or adding in some parts of other words. Krandel is really the most original I've ever been when it came to usernames. Eventually, I ended up keeping the same username instead of changing it again...and again...and again.
