Hey everybody, Sage here.
What you are about to watch is what I consider to be the lost Technology Showdown episode:
The Misadventures of Apple and Tux.
Basically, it was...I guess you could call it an experimental short,
where Apple and Tux, well...do their shenanigans.
And that's really all you need to know.
These shorts were made way back in 2017,
and of course because my quality standards have changed a lot since then,
the animation along with the audio quality aren't going to be the best.
But nevertheless, I hope you enjoy this lost episode.

[Apple] Ahem…
For those who don’t know me, my name is Apple.
I am a resident of the Tech District,
a world where technological achievements and corporate giants
comes to life, in the form of sym beings.
I am considered to be pretty much just an ordinary citizen,
but my good ol’ pal Xerox is well known for being the founder and president of the Tech District.
I’ve met some great syms here, which would later become my friends,
Windows, Tux, the Finder, Ubuntu, Mojave, and many others,
however those five are my best friends.
Unfortunately though, Windows and Ubuntu left us for pretty shocking reasons,
but it’s a long story, and Mojave left us as well for unknown reasons.
So I’m just left with the Finder, Tux, and Xerox as my bestest friends.
I do kind of feel saddened about what happened to Windows,
but I unfortunately have to deal with it, along with my friends.
But I’ve continued to live a decent life, mainly thanks to Tux.
You may not see him here, but he is operating the camera in front of me right now.
Hey Tux!
But my story doesn’t end here. No, no, no, no, no.
It continues from thereon out, even after I defeated the Winbuntu so many times in the past,
mainly thanks to my pal Tux.
However, the Winbuntu still has many plans,
some that may work, some that may fail.
We’ll have to see what happens, but one thing is clearly clear…
I will never give—
(light goes off)
Uhh, what the heck just happened?
[Tux] Oh, uh, hang on a second…
(Xerox whistles while first-person shooter sounds play in the background)
(Door opens)
[Tux] Excuse me…
[Xerox] Ack! You scared me.
[Tux] Sorry to interrupt, but the lights went out downstairs.
I was wondering if you can fix it for us.
[Xerox] (sigh) OK, I’ll be down in a bit…
(Xerox whistles while first-person shooter sounds play in the background)
[Spongebob Title Card Narrator] EVENTUALLY…
(crickets sound plays)
[Apple] What is taking Xerox so long?
[Tux] I don’t know… He said he’ll be down in a bit…
(door opens, then closes)
(small door opens)

(closes small door)
[Xerox] There you go; issue resolved.
[Apple] Thank you very much.
[Xerox] You’re welcome. If there’s any more issues, please let me know.
[Apple] Okay.
(closes door)
(overhead light switches off)
(light switch sound plays)
Alright, so where were we? Ah, yes.
Even though the Winbuntu is planning to take us down,
one thing is certainly clear.
I will never give—
(Cinematic Bass Boom plays)
(sighs) What now?
[Tux] I’m sorry to say Apple, but the show is over.
[Apple] Really? I thought this was going to be a pretty long episode.
[Tux] Sorry, but your backstory has to be kept short,
so no one will get confused and spoiled.
[Apple] Ahh, I gotcha. But can you at least let me finish with one more fact about me?
[Tux] (sighs) Fine.
(light switches on)
[Apple] I promise you I’ll make this quick.
[Tux] Go ahead, I’m waiting for ya.
[Apple] Anyways, so before I go, you might ask yourself:
How did I get the bite that you’re seeing right now?
Well, it’s pretty simple really; it’s because—
(“Thinking Out Loud” by Kevin MacLeod plays)
[Tux] Greetings to all.
The name’s Tux. Tux D. Penguin.
Most of you may know that I'm a resident of the Tech District,
however some may think (since I’m a penguin after all), 
that I live in cold environments or tropic environments.
Well, thank goodness I’ve already laid those rumors to rest.
(Background drops to the ground and breaks like glass)
I live where it is the perfect climate and temperature,
as well as a few other necessary things to keep me going.
(Which I won’t get into because it would take me a while to explain.)
You may know these guys. These are my best friends.
However, this guy right here, Apple…
He is my bestest friend.
I help him out when he is in need of me, especially when fighting Team Winbuntu.
Oh, and for those wondering about the Winbuntu…
Well, we’re taking a break from Computer Showdowns, for the time being that is.
(Camera sound effect plays)
I’ve been through many different places my whole life.
One, being of course the Tech District…
(Camera sound effect plays)
and I’ve even been through various locations in the real world.
(Camera sound effect plays)
So you see, I’ve been into adventuring for quite some time. As well as that, I’ve been into…
spying, photo-taking, soldering, building, researching, teaching,
juggling, skateboarding, skiing, and—
wait a minute…
(a record scratch sound effect! ooooh…)
What kind of a joke is this?
Come on, where's the real script?
Does anyone of you, have the real script?
Anyone?
[Celestial] (coughs)
[Tux] (sighs)
Alright then, I guess I’ll have to manually find out who did it…
Ubuntu, do you have the real script?
[Ubuntu] Uhh, no sir, I do not. I mean, I am a trusted sym, so…
[Tux] Alright, alright, enough is enough.
How about you Kubuntu, do you have it?
[Kubuntu] Last time I checked, I didn’t have it.
[Tux] Okay, then.
Gobuntu, what about you?
[Gobuntu] Hmm, let me check…
(clock ticking sound plays)
Nope, I do not have it with me.
[Tux] Alright, that’s all I need to know.
What about you two, Mr. Arch and Mr. Gnome?
[Arch] Sorry, I don’t have it, sir.
[Gnome] I’m in with Mr. Arch. I don’t have it either.
[Tux] What about you, Celestial?
[Celestial] Honestly, I didn’t do anything with your script, so it definitely wasn’t me.
Check my friend next to me or something; he was acting a bit fishy today…
[Tux] Phobos, friend of Celestial’s, was it you?
(“Decline” by Kevin MacLeod plays)
[Phobos] Uhhhh…
(cartoon run sound plays) Bye bye!
[Tux] He’s got the real script! GET HIM!
[Ubuntu] I’ve got it!
Ha, I’ve got you!
[Phobos] Hey, come on, come on, it was a joke!
[Ubuntu] No it wasn’t, you were trying to trick my friend!
[Phobos] Ok, ok, fine, fine, fine, I’m sorry!
I’ll give it to you, here’s the actual script!
[Ubuntu] Thanks.
Here you go, Tux.
[Tux] Thanks.

DANG IT!
Well, there you have it: The lost Technology Showdown episode.
Sure, these shorts may have no reason to exist
other than being experiments for animation techniques
I would later improve upon in my future works,
but it was a nice rediscovery of the past nonetheless.
Now these shorts were supposed to lead up to the Technology Showdown Prologue episode,
but as I've stated before, the project proved too ambitious,
and I've since moved on from doing Computer Showdown homages,
eventually leading to the project (along with the entire series) getting cancelled, 
which unfortunately means that the final episode ended on a cliffhanger.
Oops…
But that doesn't necessarily mean it didn't leave a legacy behind.
Sure, while I've since changed my quality standards,
and have moved on to much better things,
I did have a lot of fun making them at the time,
and to this day, I still like watching them
for how bizarre and somewhat crappy they are at least compared to my later works.
But if you enjoyed it, that's great—I’m not knocking you for liking it.
But anyways guys, thank you very much for watching,
be sure to stay tuned for more videos on our channel,
and as always, I will see you all next time. Take care.
