Interview with John Titor (Part 1)

The following webcomic is based on John Titor's actual web forum postings on timetravelinstitute.com from November, 2000 to March, 2001.

 
 
Welcome back to the Ryzak Report.
I am your host Ryzak Fennelflak.

We are here with time traveller John Titor, who has been ever so kind today in joining us from the year 2036.

Mr. Titor, welcome to the show.





Thank you for having me.



 Now please forgive me if I am too direct, but I must begin with the question on all of our minds: HOW? 

How is time travel possible, 
and how did you get here?






Well, the basics for time travel start at CERN in about a year and end in 2034 with the first "time machine" built by GE. 

Too bad we can't post pictures or I'd show it to you.




 You can't show us any pictures? Why not?

Can you at least tell us how it works?


These are the basic materials needed for a gravity distortion system that will allow time travel:

1. Magnetic housing units for dual Microsingularities.
2. Electron Injection Manifold to alter mass and gravity of Microsingularities.
3. Cooling and X-Ray Venting System.
4. Gravity Sensors (VGL System)
5. Main Clocks (4 Cesium units)
6. Main Computer units (3)


 
What does traveling in time look like?







The unit has a ramp up time after the destination coordinates are fed into the computers. An audible alarm and a small light start a short countdown at which point you should be secured in a seat. 

The gravity field generated by the unit overtakes you very quickly. You feel a tug toward the unit similar to rising quickly in an elevator and it continues to rise based on the power setting the unit is working under. 





 ...









 At 100% power, the constant pull of gravity can be as high as 2 Gs or more depending on how close you are to the unit. 

There are no serious side effects, but I try to avoid eating before a flight.


 

Interesting. Is there a flash of light of any kind? How do you know when you have succesfully made a jump?





No. Outside, the vehicle appears to accelerate as the light is bent around it.

We have to wear sunglasses or close our eyes as this happens due to a short burst of ultraviolet radiation. Personally I think it looks like driving under a rainbow. We're advised to keep the windows closed as a great deal of heat builds up outside the car. The gravity field also traps a small air pocket around the car that acts as your only O2 supply unless you bring compressed air with you.
 


Of course! Shows what I know, I hadn't even considered the thought of an Oxygen supply.







This pocket will only last for a short period and a carbon sensor tells us when it's too dangerous. 

The C204 unit is accurate from 50 to 60 years a jump and travels at about 10 years an hour at 100% power.

Homeless Bad Hair Year


To all who know me well, I have probably shown you this photo at some point or another. So lets re-enjoy! For anyone who hasn't, why not enjoy it for the first time?

I snapped this in Santa Monica in April, 2003. I really hope this dude has had a shower since then.

Mineshaft

A city. It is built around an ancient mine shaft. 

You see, at one time, the Ancients powered enormous drillers, with bits several kilometers in diameter, to bore into the fabric of the earth. To this very year, the Archives show no results as to what exactly the ancients were digging up. 

Today, a vertical city, built into this 23 kilometer mineshaft has a standing population of 5 million denizens.

CF-18's flying past Mt. Logan, so hot right now



Does anyone else sorta get a boner from this? Is it wrong that I kind of want an Arctic World War to break out?

I am all for the Government of Canada exercising sovereignty over the Territories, and if Russians or anyone else tried to take over the North, I would enlist the next day. Who is with me?

The Sega 32X was a piece of shit


Wow, am I ever glad I had enough sense even as a 12-year-old not to buy this fucking thing. Can you imagine if you had to plug a game system into a pointless peripheral in this day and age? We've come a long way, baby!

Angryvideogamenerd really hits the nail on the head with this one.
Fast forward to 1:02 to skip the intro.

John Titor is my new hero

Alleged Military Insignia of John Titor
"Time is the devourer of all things."
I don't blame you haven't heard about John Titor. I hadn't either. That is, until my friends at Techstuff gave me the complete lowdown.

A man began posting on the message boards for timetravelinstitute.com going by the name TimeTravel_0. He claimed to be from the year 2036.

For an overview, do what we all do and read Wikipedia: John Titor
and the 'official' site: johntitor.com

Stay tuned for an online graphic novel featuring the transcripts of Mr. Titor's forum postings. Once I create suitable cartoon characters, I will have this posted A.S.A.P.

Retro National Parks

Part of an ongoing campaign to retrify all forty-two National Parks in our great Country. I figure we all have copyright ownership to all of the Parks available to us, so why not?

I could not have done it without you Boards of Canada. More to come...

Tundra


Glass house.
A final hit.

The Animals in the Zoo have been set
Free.

Food is falling from the sky.
Huge food. Destroying shit.
Even killing.

A Dark age begins.
All electronic data erased.
Public slayings.

Common prayer. Collective voice.
