One of the most blatant is that public opinion declared a "Shoggoth" an N-Word Privileges level slur after one of them mentioned the preferred term was "Fluidic"; its lampshaded a few times that the Fluidics are never the ones getting offended.

The world of The DEDA Files is now even richer than it already was, to the point I have headcanons and could very easily see it making a great TV series.

Urban Fantasy: Set in modern-day England, and has magic, demons, and monster-slayers who use shotguns. Yahtzee Croshaw plays tongue in cheek with murder mystery, the church and British spy novels while throwing in a dig at superheroes just because. I say it's his best because it shows the most progression in his writing style. All his books have the same three female characters: the Socially-Awkward-But-Friendly-Normal-Girl, the Oblivious-Airhead and the Hyper-Competent-Ice-Queen. This book at least takes the step forward of making Normal Girl the main character (in place of his usual Beleaguered-Man-Participating-Against-His-Will) and he writes her well. The story also takes some nice twists and turns and it was fun trying to guess where the story would go.

Cast from Lifespan: Adepts in Healing Magic can heal most injuries and illnesses instantaneously, but it takes using the user's life-force to use and can cause the user to suffer from Rapid Aging. It's for this reason why everyone in the Ministry thinks that Miracle Meg is a fraud. Severity of the injury seems to effect how much life force needs to be used, Meg aging to death the first (and only) time she uses healing magic to heal Victor from third-degree burns.

Later subverted when the fluidics begin to grasp the concept of individuality, and the fluidic who lives beneath Alison's apartment expresses a desire to be called Dennis instead. Benjamin Richard " Yahtzee" Croshaw (born 24 May 1983) [1] [2] is a British comedic writer, author, video game journalist, humorist, podcaster, and video game developer. He is best known for his video game review series Zero Punctuation, which he produces for The Escapist. [3] Before this, Croshaw gained attention in the Adventure Game Studio community for his video game production. Jessica is apparently an avid fan of Mogworld, as she renews her 12 month subscription With Alison's "stolen" company credit card. The Batman and Robin scene makes me laugh out loud every time and, even with how painful I found the end, there were several very funny moments too. Lanxon, Nate (4 November 2009).

In the year 2010, on October 26, 2010, the independently published short story anthology Machine of Death was published, containing a short story by Croshaw. [70] [11] Jam [ edit ] After centuries in the shadows, the Ministry is forced to unmask, exposing the country’s magical history–and magical citizens–to a brave new world of social media, government scrutiny, and public relations. So how do you keep young, magically infected humans from accidentally setting things on fire and possibly destroying the universe? One thing you can be sure of, no matter what you decide to do there’s going to be people ready and willing to start a protest over it. Dr. Diablerie is revealed to the audience (unsurprisingly) to have been a double agent the whole time in the final chapter, the persona of "Dr. Diablerie" is actually an incredibly elaborate spell, that transforms him—personality and all—into the "character" of Dr. Diablerie. I really enjoy that all of Yahtzee's creations occupy a sort of loose universe, and I particularly enjoyed Differently Morphous as a sequel to his horror games. So, I thought it would be neat to create a thread for the easter eggs and references in Differently Morphous, and our theories for where the Chzo Mythos will go next. In particular, now that he's fleshed out the Ministry of Occultism, the Ethereal Realm, and a lot of the mechanics regarding magic, runes, etc., how does this impact his earlier works?There are many, and I mean MANY references to modern society's tendency towards being "politically correct" and "not offending anyone" with "free speech". Yahtzee constantly takes jabs at this modern phenomenon and even has a character incorporate this into her very personality. Hillarious stuff, but even so, there's enough there to make you think about it as well. Title Drop: Alison offhandedly recalls that Nita disapproves of calling the Fluidics "Amorphous", and prefers the term "Differently Morphous" (potentially a play on the real world term "Differently Abled" which similarly never gained much traction.)

Success!

Diablerie continues to be very capable despite being an absolutely ridiculous person, as he seemingly solves the mystery by himself, possibly even before they discovered the solution. Fitting for a man who is sometimes "Nicholas Fisk", someone who used to be the Ministry's fixer. Jordan Deam (23 October 2009).
