Mmmm... a spaniard with slight earing troubles might translate it to "albaricoque de Saturno"... Momo = Apricot (Japanese), Von = from (german, indicates native from), Satan... badly pronounced Saturn. Scratch that, it was what a japanese dude understands, because it sounds a lot the way they would say it XDDDDD

Perhaps but she is

Perhaps but she is consistantly referred to as a female using female pronouns. Her description from pg 102 is "Momo von Satan, a diminutive, gothed-out Japanese woman" so I assume she is a woman through and through.

What do you expect?! When you guys create a setting where gender is debatable regardless of what you have between your legs, this is the natural consequence!!!

Haha, no, hadn't heard of it, but I love Knatten, even if I don't understand why it's raving about fish in this one. I see Momo's politics as loosely allied with the Pirat party, though, so I guess there's a common thread there.

Neither do I, and *Knatten himself* is partially raving about the stupidity of raving about fish... then immediately turning to the burning question "what the heck is wrong with fish?!", including insulting different species personally. The show even had a surprisingly nuanced critique of the Pirate Party hidden under the rapid fire invective... or at least an interesting argument (that people have the right to freely invent different IP regimes). Again, this sounds like Momo - a rant about fullerenes and metal, and a relevant political comment embedded right in the middle of the swearing. Titanian entertainment so far sounds like the most watchable in the solar system. Sure, production values are higher in the PC and if you like worthy documentaries the Argonauts have a whole clade of reconstructed BBC minds, but they are likely not as *fun*.

I might also recommend that, as a unique trait to the Priapus morph, it also gets the Small Target (-10 to hit) benefit when in colder climates. Perhaps also a to-hit bonus when it is in a good mood in better climates.

I don't know, the Argonauts might be winning that one. An AI that thinks it's David Attenborough doing an exoplanet nature show sounds like pretty much the best thing ever.

Voice of The Cock

I imagined him as so angry and apoplectic (if that's not a biological impossibility, given that it's an engorged phallus), that he only gets every other word out as he spits and spouts with rage. But, he has to have a deep bass voice... it's sooo manly.

Depends on its popularity. I have no doubt that if MRGCNN is popular enough, pirate feeds transmit each episode to other regions of the system for fans elsewhere to see it. Much in the same way that the Daily Show apparently has a following in other countries, so too can Monster Raging Goblin Cock News Network have followings outside the Commonwealth. Unfortunately, everyone else probably deals with some nasty lag. It's probably not uncommon for inner system fans to be watching episodes a week after initial broadcast.
