teddogI can't believe I missed this.

It's mostly written by Jason. He's a cool guy, used to hang out on his message board. The banner image cracks me up, because Dave looks badass... which he's completely NOT in the game. Dave + chainsaw = COMEDY.
I always saw Dave Miller as this tired and frustrated character who really did try really damn hard to make everyone happy and, in the end, gets screwed over. In a perfect world, he'd dump his airhead girlfriend and become mayor of Toronto. But, alas, he's stuck in this odd b-movie parody world and probably suffers for it, but at least he gets by with a little help from his (very wacky) friends.
Page Five in there is also kinda neat, because it's a walkthrough told from Dave's point-of-view. It reminds me that there's NO GOOD FANFIC for this series. There was, however, this sorta lame fic about the cast from both the original Manaic Maniac and the new characters from Day of the Tentacle getting together for a party. Most of it is garbage, but there's a neat little sideplot that has Bernard (a minor character who later became the main charater in DotT) and Dave getting stuck in the middle of nowhere and having to work together to get back home, all the while venting their thoughts about each other.
I think I have it backed up somewhere.... maybe.
