Err I made a thread on this http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.883821-So-today-is-the-day-Back-to-the-Future-2-thread

In saying so yours is way more presented better than my ever was.

and in the mortal words of Doc Brown himself:

"I did not create the time machine to fix time! I created the time machine to destroy the entire universe!"

I still think Doc was suicidal and wanted to take Marty with him but was thwarted by the one invention that actually worked. If it hadn't, there'd be a stain on the mall parking lot with a video suicide note.

That would make Part III even sadder because if he didn't end up meeting Clara in 1885, then his deathd on September 7 during that time[line] would been, to him, his "assisted suicide" if Marty wasn't there to prevent that from happening... *Doc Brown gasp*

That sounds amazing.
And is that a quote from the telltale game? I don't remember it, but it's been a while since I played it.

The quote's not from the TellTale game... The quote, albeit from what I remember, is from a Back To The Future YTP...
Apparently, I got the first part of the quote wrong... >.>

Thinking back on it, the funniest thing from that movie to me was the idea that we'd all have multiple fax machines in our homes. Even here in 2015, a fax machine is usually a low-quality copier attached to a low-quality 14.4k telephone modem. Honestly I'm still surprised we use them for anything at all.

I'm more surprised that AT&T, durind that timeline, was sponsoring "some" of them...

Ah. Yes. I had anticipated that situation. It was a risk. One thing you'll note about this thread is that it was posted at 4:29 pm, October 21st exactly! california time (since hill valley is supposed to be in California).

I put a lot of work both into the content of the thread, and the exact timing of when I posted it.
The... Downside is, California's timezone is GMT -7, and 4:29 pm is more than 16 hours into the day even then.
So there's roughly a 33 hour window for someone to beat me to it with a thread.

So, all things considered I deliberately chose not to check for existing threads. XD
Sorry. XD

(the time this thread appears to have been posted is literally only correct for those using pacific standard time. To everyone else it appears wrong. Even to me, since that isn't my own timezone... I had to calculate the conversion to get it right... >_<)

Ah right. I don't tend to like YTP, but that was genuinely funny. XD

Yeah, it is kind of bizarre. I wonder how much of that was influenced just by wanting to have a physical thing Jennifer could show the doc later.

Only experience I have with fax machines, even going back to the early 90's is the fax capabilities of dial-up modems...
You have to wonder who came up with that...
How common were fax machines, even in 1989?
And you'd think they'd have made more obvious predictions about computers.
After all, Moore's law was devised in the 70's, and personal computers were already quite common at the end of the 80's...
I mean, they even had an arcade machine in the cafe 80's, and a mac classic in the secondhand shop!
