A Master PC World: MasterPC? What is this crap? [Episode 107739]

by Hawk

"What is this crap? MasterPC? A program that will help me master the PC?" Ranma muttered to himself and right-clicked, choosing to virus-check the attachment. He vividly recalled Nabiki's instructions to run everything he got over e-mail through her anti-virus software, because if he got her computer infected, she'd threatened to skin him alive and hadn't seemed like she was kidding.

As a ping announced that it was done and a message box announced that the attachment was virus-free, Ranma didn't hesitate to double-click on the attachment. The name sounded very promising, with a little luck, he'd master the infernal contraption and kick that nerds ass in two weeks.

He suffered through the annoying install wizard, clicking next and next and next and next and next without reading either the license agreement or anything else the wizard might have to say. Nabiki had insisted that he should read everything carefully, but he promptly ignored that pice of advice in favor of speeding up the process so he could go ahead and master this thing.

Five minutes later, the installation was complete and 'Welcome to Master PC' appeared on the screen, much to Ranma's relief. He hated having to wait and these five minutes had been pure frustration. A few seconds later, a small 3D character appeared on the screen and greeted him.

+Welcome to the Master Command Center... Where the Master allows you to become a virtual god to the people around you... Now, you possess the power to bend their reality to your specifications. You are the Masters representative.+

"Huh? It's in english?" Ranma inquired, scratching the back of his head as the little character vanished, only to be replaced with a new screen and an inquiry as to his user name, again in english. He sighed and put the japanese keyboard next to the monitor, flipping a little switch on the desk from 1 to 2 and them pulled out an english keyboard that was leaning on the other side of the monitor. "R... A... N... M. A. S. A. O... T. O... M. E." Ranma read out loud, as he searched for characters on the illogical piece of plastic crap. It was possible to use the original japanese one, of course. But Ranma found this easier, even though there was no logic whatsoever in how the different letters were organized. "QWERTY-piece of crap..." Ranma muttered as he finally hit enter and looked up to see what the result from his typing had been, only to sigh as the program now asked for a subject.
