LORD OF OBLIVIANA

12/7/98 now. I'm still working hard on Obliviana, and it looks like I'm going to get some kind of new website going by the 1/1/99 deadline.

I tellya, if I didn't have such total dedication to Obliviana, I would have given up on it at least three or four times in the past six months. I have worked so hard, and I am, right now, totally back to square one. Albeit, a much, much better square one...

Get all Obliviana.

CARNE'S MOISTURE DETECTION FRIEND
Episode Nineteen
-----------

CARNE: My Moisture Detection Friend helped design a strip mall. He included a hatch at an interior corner which inexplicably led down into an underground entertainment area, with monsters, pirate, robots, and all that kinda stuff. They kicked him off the project, but last week the strip mall opened, and damned if they didn't have that hatch and all the stuff he designed!

PACER: Wow. And they didn't pay him anything?

CARNE: No--but he didn't care. They like sent their lawyer over, all worried and everything, but he just laughed and said that the fact that something like that was actually built was more than enough payment.

PACER: So there's no sign on it or anything? It's just like this hatch in the middle of nowhere?

CARNE: That's it! But they must have spent hundreds of thousands of dollar on the entertainment center it leads to.

PACER: So it's free to get in?

CARNE: Yes! There's nothing barring you at all! You just climb down the hatch, and there you are!

PACER: So people must be getting to know it by word of mouth and press and stuff, huh? But how do they make money?

CARNE: Advertising. The place is full of advertising.

PACER: That's not so bad. At least they don't have those Japanese animation booths, where you insert $200 and it automatically spits out a DVD anime adventure starring an anime version of you, and your friend, if you got one! And if you want to see the next episode, you gotta pay another $200!

CARNE: Well... they do have those. But they only charge $175.
