( tales from the gas station ) man I thought that one like 7 hour creepypasta reading was the only audio, but it turns out they hired that guy to do the official audible reading for the novels and also
highlights of chapter one include Jack going hilariously off the rails when describing people who freak him out like this one palm reader that showed up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and insisted on paying him by telling him his fortune, and he just goes on and on about her voice with:
casual mentions of the cult that lives in the woods beside the gas station who don't have names as part of their sacred rules, but that he nicknames in his head, like Lurch. they sometimes stop by for cigarettes.
maybe this is just me liveplurking a book while i listen to it is that a thing people do well it is now maybe this will help me figure out how to play him gg
lmao they leave pamphlets on his counter and he maintains eye contact with one of them while very. slowly. pushing them across the counter. over the edge. into the trash.
"Besides the under-ground tree-god, the cultist in the pantry, the army of plant people, and the tidings of an oncoming apocalypse, is there anything else going on at the gas station you think I should know about?"
but yeah it doesn't feel like the traditional audiobook where somebody's just reading and then putting on an affect for the dialogue, it really feels more like voice acting.
like there's an un-edited first-draft compilation of the original creepypasta blogs on youtube that's free and fantastic, but if you're willing to drop any money or you have an audible account, the official audiobooks are way more organized and they're totally awesome
maybe its bc the official first book only came out in april of 2019 and the last one just came out in november, maybe it'll pick up over time, i really hope it does, it effin deserves to imo
i'm still listening to the official ones for the first time myself; i did the 7 hour youtube, found these, immediately bought, and i'm on the last 30 mins of the first one and its only getting better and better dude
jerry came to her rescue exclaiming "YAY we finally passed the bechdel test! It's a nice change of pace, usually whenever we end up trapped at the gas station with a murderous stalker trying to kill us, it's a total sausage fest."
murderous stalker: who's your friend? she seems nice. jack: oh her? she's my... new... jiu jitsu instructor... I had to fire the last one because he said he already taught me everything he knew... I've been getting pretty shredded since the last time I saw you. Also, I'm taller now.
my dude like honestly if u knew how absolutely bonkers it is in context, like. they're trapped with a homicidal murderer while also dealing with an entity telling them some ominous shit like "Segoth is Risen" and they're just fuckin
it was almost as if they didn't care about MUSICAL GENIUS DONALD GLOVER and seemed more upset about us losing officer o'brien's pistol. jerry tried explaining that we were attacked by ninjas, but she wasn't buying it.
sagoth is risen?? if you boys are dealing with sagoth you better haul ass right now. he's a shapeshifting demon that feeds off pain and will take the form of whoever you're most likely to trust.
jerry walked in and said 'i just want to get your opinion. do you think we're more likely or less likely to have an orgy now that donald glover's here?'
and it's so easy to forget jerry was one until he busts out some immanuel kant and it's like ??? and jerry's like I WAS A MATHEMATIST WE DID MORE THAN JUST HAVE ORGYS AND EAT PANCAKES, SOMETIMES WHEN THE SYRUP RAN OUT WE ACTUALLY TALKED ABOUT THIS SHIT OK
ur gonna love him so much he's such a good he's like the most loyal buddy that just starts showing up around jack and casually selflessly saving his life
jack's this like skinny useless nerd and jerry's this swol ass FUCK YEAH I'M NOT AFRAID TO DIE and just throws jack over his shoulder and kicks down doors
"one of the cultists - they hate it when i call them cultists - had left their compound - they hate it when I call it a compound"
i am ASTOUNDED this doesn't have a bigger fandom.
the smoke detector may or may not be an old frisbeefreeze, dick potato! one wrong move and i'll pump you full of more lead than a pack of pencils.that's really what you wanted to say?not now.i'm just saying we had the whole car ride over and that's the best you could come up with?SERIOUSLY BRICK SHUT THE FUCK UPit's not even really lead, it's graphiteoh waitjack & jerry
