AFD Pt. 2: Those Things Are Expensive

June 26, 2009

Sorry it’s so late, my computer had some issues and then I had to go to work.  Monday things’ll be back to normal.

I can’t figure out the chapter system for the archives yet, but bear with me and it’ll be up eventually!

    Exactly how much does a holodeck cost?

  2. Adam says:

    He should’ve installed Holodeck Service Pack 2.

  3. Riot says:

    Ba-dum-tshhh~

  4. Andrew says:

    You would think that those crazy holodeck designers would learn after a while.

    Huh, he must be using the MK 1’s, those one’s have the photonic re generators cross wired with the virtual/physical placement system. The fact that the electrical wiring is adequate, which doesn’t help much, with how ignorantly the two essential components are put together will cause a chain reaction with both in case of a malfunction, which will cause the holograms to ignore the laws of basic physics and become real. Big problem considering that the MK 1’s were prone to malfunction. Many good people died at the hands of these improperly tested machines, though these problems were solved with the MK 2’s and the MK 3’s are known to malfunction less often. Sorry about the long comment, just trying to expand on the joke even though it was best where it stopped.

    Watch out for Evil Lincoln!

  7. Roadcat says:

    He’s obviously not aware that the Holodeck Mk 1 models were all recalled due to this problem. Holodecks-R-us promised to replace them all with Mk 2’s but I still haven’t received my new one. Just can’t get the staff now-a-days.

    Computer, end program…. Right, that doesn’t work in real life.

  9. ‘Distract the clerk with your ugly’… By god, he’s a tactical genius!

    Thurman seriously thinks he is not rich, seems money cant buy brains

  11. MrGBH says:

    Surely, after the first few times, you’d just stop using the holodeck?

  12. Brian Layne says:

    Lol niiice. And of course they beat him up, he must have been doing something stupid with them haha

  13. God of Death says:

    But wait! what if it was used for sexynessisity. or maybe he met Lincoln, or maybe even the one real Pope that all the others are based off of.

  14. Thomas says:

    Yeah, I have that problem with my holodeck as well XD

  15. Baughbe says:

    My technical team can resolve the problems inherent in the early Holodeck systems. And yes, it is unlikely the promised ‘upgrade’ will arrive as the company is now no longer listed on the stock exchange. Repairs run between $58,000 up to just over $90,000 depending on which version was used (three different sets of subsystems and configurations were used and marketed as the MK 1) and whether modifications have been made from the original configurations. A $5,000 assessment fee is required in advance and is refunded on the final repair.

  16. Flapjack says:

    I wonder how much money I would get for holding Thimrod for ransom…….eh they would probably pay to to take him.

  17. Chefs brian says:

    that is awesome. question is, what was he doing in the holodeck? whatever it was, it let the holodeck people use his transporter to make them into stable matter XD.

  18. taltamir says:

    The turning “real” thing is actually a feature, it is used during adult simulations.

  19. Ryguy987 says:

    It is but only for the MK 4-AO Models.

  20. Rainbow-Nunchuks says:

    “Distract the clerk with your ugly.” Oh my god if we had him in nam we would all have asain dudes shineing our shoes and laying on top of puddles so we don’t get them dirty *Sighs*
