HamGlitch, or, A Terrible Parody

To croak, or not to croak? That is the question.
Whether tis nobler in the Giant's minds to suffer 
The stuns and emblems of outrageous fortune, 
Or to take arms against a sea of Rooks and, by opposing, end them. 
To croak, to squish, no more, and by that squish to say we make 
The grape juice and the thousandth trip through Hell 
That Glitch is heir to; 'tis a long migration devoutly to be walked. 
To croak, to squish. To squish, perchance to wake? 
Ah, there's the rub, for in that squish of Hell where grapes are come 
We may yet shuffle back to mortal coils, so gives us pause. 
There's the respect that makes calamity of so much death
For who would bear the pigs and chickens flock, the mining throng, 
The proud bandit's cotumaly, the pangs of depressed moods, the limit day, 
The insolence of trollers and the scorn that patient merit of the players take? 
Who would these badges bear to grunt and sweat through a weary mine 
But that the dread of something worse than croaked
The unconnected gamer from whose hands
No Glitchiness ensues, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those quests we have
Than seek out others less well-defined?
Thus imagination doth make Glitches of us all.

  • <from memory>Look here upon this Glitch Snap; And 'pon this Glitch, a counterfeit presentment of two brothers.
    See what a grace was seated upon this brow: Cayenne curls, the front of Alph himself, an eye like Friendly to threaten and command; a station like Zille, new lighted 'pon some heaven-kissing hill, to give the world assurance of a Glitch.
    Look you now what follows: Here is your Glitch friend (non-subscriber) like a mildewed, misplaced ear (check into vanity soon!), blasting his wholesome brother.
    Have you eyes (or perhaps buttons)?
    Could you upon this fair mountain to leave to feed to batten in the firebogs?
    Ha! Have you eyes?

    You cannot call it love, for at your age (60) the fever in the blood is tame, is humble.
    And waits upon the judgement.  And what judgement would step from this (gestures at Glitchsnap) to this (locket of current paramour)?

    What devil was't that thus hath cozened you at hoodman blind?
