Man, don't get me wrong, I love Walky's stuff as much as anyone, but the captioning on Teletraan-1's Wiki is getting reeaaaally tiresome and snarky. Every page turns into the "Look! I'm gonna make a joke here!" and it gets juvenile and silly. Which, when ocasionally the subject matter (TFs) can become juvenile and silly also, is a bad thing. Any other opinions? Funkticons! Merge to form....ABSURDICUS! |

At least there is relevant info in it If anything goes wrong...blame Twin Twist

I'm sure the author was being sarcastistic, but that was over the line compared to some of the screwy captions on other pages.

DN | It's be better if the person who wrote it was actually good at being sarcastic. However, they're not. Consequently it's little more than a string of pathetically unfunny whiny comments, and about as funny as a kick to the face.  | |

With the exception of some questionable sentence structure, I don't really see a problem. What am I missing? | |
