EAB - EXP 23

The scene opens to something you may have seen before: a view of a large, skybox corporate office, straight out of the corporate mastermind villain’s base from a movie. This is no movie though, this is the reality, the environment to which the star of today’s scene, E.A. Blizzard is accustomed. The room is beautifully adorned with rare art pieces, a huge oak desk behind which sits the aforementioned man; the large city skyline through the huge windows behind him is not even enough to detract from the aura of the huge, imposing man sitting front and center. A woman, apparently a secretary, scurries out of shot with a sharp hand wave from the man, no words needed, a command of all around him. A command of you watching, as his steely eyes meet the camera, and he begins to talk; dominance and power integrated to every syllable of his speech.




EAB: Well if anything I think we can all agree that the game if you want to call it that has certainly changed hasn’t it. Mr. Tact has assembled a collective of champions current and in the making. Larry as the Power Champion and myself as the Courage Champion respectfully and as brilliant as that is to imagine the pure genius behind the decision to have us face Eli Goode and Brody Adams. The Multiplayer Champions known as Wayward Sons. On paper and in theory this sounds wonderful but in practice. These two gentlemen are the ones who won their championships beating Don Tirri and Donny Mason subsequently in what ended up being the final match of Don Tirri. So good on you gents what a wonderful showing on your part. Beating Drake and ISAAC is no small task to accomplish but if you are going to take this as some sort of a prognosis of things to come you will be sorely mistaken. You want to act like winning those Multiplayer titles have made you so much better than others, you see yourselves as heroes and looking to end the quartet of true elite individuals that are the Game Changers You do realize just how absolutely ludicrous it is that you would act like myself and Tact aren’t worthy champions or we won’t last and yet you are there expecting that your newly formed partnership that alliance between you two which is uneasy at the very best is supposed to be strong enough to secure you as more than a mere footnote in the history books.




The clear disdain in Blizzard’s eyes is evident as he glares at the camera and goes on.




EAB: Mr. Goode, Heck pal I’m sure I can call you Eli by now with all that we’ve been through together, do you honestly think that your little attempt at manipulating, your dabble into the darker arts of cloak and dagger conspiracies is going to work. Trying to divide and conquer us acting like we can’t trust each other, when in reality any sorry soul with a pair of eyes can see that what you are actually doing is projecting your own distrust towards Mr. Adams. You want to act like you of all people have the right to pass judgment on whether I am to be trusted or should I trust Mr. Tact. You? You who seem amazed at the fact that you made it out of your match with those championships in the first place. Eli, let’s be honest here for a moment won’t we son? You had a chance to form a reliable alliance, I gave you more than ample amount of time and equal in opportunities to establish one, you chose to throw it all away and now when Larry Tact has formed a group of considerable talent that he has, the best you can try to hide your disappointment that you are not part of the single best stable of Level Up’s history is to try and plant the seeds of mistrust? Honestly, be the man that you pretend to be and accept your losses son. What we are doing with Game Changers is all within the best interest of this company and it’s future of course expecting someone such as you to see it would be foolish enough. Let alone to expect you to admit your mistakes in this manner would be equally foolish. Now as far as Mr. Adams goes, you I do not have as much of a history as your partner Eli but are you sure that you are in the right with all this? He talks about how he is so darn Goode and all but do you Mr. Adams in your heart of hearts believe that is even Goode enough for you to form what could be a very long and extensive business partnership with? Because while some at this profession seem to believe all you need to form a decent team is a snappy little name and a couple of able bodies. However the true recipe for an actual team requires commitment, dedication and focus, it demands trust because not only do you need to know that your partner has your back you also have to be absolutely positive that they are capable of doing their half of the deal. Game Changers is far more than a group of people you could have picked and chose from a crowd, Considering that after the meticulous preparation and planning Miss Salinas still turned out to be a ill fit, so people can understand that even the great Larry Tact is human, capable of making a mistake but unlike so many of the dilettantes to flock to the shows and throw criticism at him within in the safety of their little bubbles, Mr Tact learned from his mistake.




Blizzard leans back in his chair with the now familiar expressionless face.




EAB: So going into EXP 23 I would encourage my friends in Wayward Sons would be better off focusing on finding a common route to establish this unlikely pairing of theirs to function as an actual team especially since on your narrow shoulders rests the future of the Multiplayer Division and if you don’t do a good enough job, some other team will happily do that job for you and you two can go back to doing, whatever it was the pair of you did before you started pretending to trust each other and getting along. Whether you like it or not doesn’t matter folks LEVEL UP is in the process of becoming a better place for not just all of us within the company but also to all of you watching the Game is changing and it’s thanks to Larry Tact, E.A.B, Drake and ISAAC..it would be smart of you to get along with the program. Look forward towards EXP 24 where you get to see so many champions in just one match, that is a bargain that can’t be beat.




We fade to black with the eerie pearly white smirk EAB is known for.
