Episode Report Card Couch Baron: B | 6 USERS: A+ YOU GRADE IT You Gogo, Girl
By Couch Baron | Season 1 | Episode 4 | Aired on 10.18.2004
Gaming club. We see a bunch of names on an electronic display, presumably those of people who are logged in playing. Pan over to the beaded-curtain entrance, where Veronica, in slowed time, enters, wearing a short black wig and a schoolgirl costume. You Gogo, girl. The geeks horn up, and their THWAP!s and SPROING!s smack us into the commercial break.
Veronica hands what's presumably her driver's license to some dude, who gives her a game card or something. She cases the joint, and with the wig and the stealth, she's probably looking for Michael Vartan. She's not the only one. Once her quick visual inspection is done, she sassily plops herself down on a couch between two guys who are playing some Quake-esque game. The porkier of the two guys says something about "ownage, " and points out that he just fragged the other dude, who's not actually completely uncute. Noting that, Veronica asks him if he can watch her bag. Once he gets through processing the fact that he's talking to a female, he manages to stammer an affirmative. She gets up and goes over to the display of all the players logged in to the game, and notes that one dude's handle, "Grrrantula," is very similar to the domain from which Kyla's email was sent. Satisfied that she's on the right track, she logs in as "Gamegirl." Oh, Veronica. Couldn't you have played to your target audience and gone with "Gamegrrrl"? She takes her spot back on the couch, and Not Uncute Dude offers her a gummy worm or something. Aw. Nothing says nerd love like diabetes-causing levels of sugar. Veronica scores a couple frags on the blue team, but then shoots at Grrrantula, whose name is in red and is on her team, which Portly Dude points out. Some blond kid -- presumably Grrrantula -- looks annoyed. Veronica shoots at him again, and blond kid yells, "I'm on your team, Lamer!" Well, Blond Kid, if she's Lamer, you are definitely Lamest. Veronica breathily deadpans to Not Uncute Dude, "Wow. I'm really bad at this!" Hee. Veronica continues being spectacularly "bad" by fragging Lamest, and she gets up and crows, "Ownage!" Lamest says that it is NOT ownage, since he's on her team. She smirks and sits back down.
Cut to Veronica getting her license back. She gives a fake name, and when the guy can't find her card, she offers to look. While his attention's elsewhere, she grabs not only her license but also Lamest's school ID. I don't know, Lamest. Looks like she owns you from here.
Veronica tells us that Lamest's name is Grant, only she derisively pronounces it "Grrrant." Hee. He goes to San Diego State, which is where we find Veronica snooping around. As she tells us that the school is known for its parties, she sees a flyer for a party called "Around The World." My guess is that you have to go to a bunch of preset locations and drink a lot of different drinks. And you won't have eighty days to do it, either.
