Even euclid-class objects know it's good.
I might be a complete and utter retard on this, so feel free to call me on it, but…
…a sleek, futuristic computer falls into the hands of SCP and, upon (finally) figuring out how it works, we find out that it contains encrypted documents about… SCPs?
Doesn't that seem a little too obvious?
Actually, quite a few of the future items contain data on SCPs.
I believe the general consensus of the writers is that most of the SCP-classified future debris are classified *as* SCPs *because* they contain data on SCPs. I mean, just a simple future iPod would probably just be tossed into a box in a warehouse with all the others and stamped 'Future Materials, Do Not Open Until [DATA EXPUNGED]', or simply sent to a Foundation lab to be reverse-engineered. Or maybe just simply tossed into a furnace.
At least, that's my take on it.
I'm guessing that there's an unusually high probability that future artifacts will be Foundation related, because the Foundation is one of the few groups with both the technology and the cojones to mess around with time travel. The description makes it sound to me like the room was uncovered during construction work on a Foundation site, and was probably from a future version of that same site. In that case the computer was probably not originally anything special; it's standard future-tech office equipment that qualifies as an SCP by our standards. So it would naturally have SCP-related files on it.
Can somebody explain the Crysis joke to me? I mean, is it anything to do with the game itself?
Crysis had high system requirements at time of release (at least if you wanted the highest graphic details.) That's pretty much it.
How exactly would you attempt to install it in the first place? The thing doesn't even have a disc drive.
I don't really think this fits in well with the on-site articles in that it's basically not interesting nor creepy, and in addition to that it uses cliche number 16 (thing from the future).
Yes, that's our job. You need special training to be as good at being a dick as Yoric and myself.

I kind of like time-traveling SCPs (and have written a couple myself) but this one is not good. Minmin is 100% right about the tone and the improper use of D-Class…

This is just not very interesting, and then there's three - count 'em, three - humorous addenda. Downvoted.
I've seen better objects being downvoted and deleted in no time
Yet this one remains here for some reason.
I tried to find some redeeming features in this object - and found none. Even the humorous addenda are old and worn out.
I tried to downvote this, and realized I already had. Damn.

Fortunately for me, I hadn't. This is in the negatives at time of writing.

Before this sinks too much further, I've lopped the three humorous addenda, leaving just the actual SCP. It's… um, rather shorter. (There's a writing lesson in there— take the humorous addenda out of your article, and what, really, do you have left?)
I think this is salvageable, but it's gonna take something (or several somethings) to set it apart. Anyone wanna give it a whack before its drops to Deletionville?
As the humorous addenda have been removed, so has my downvote been removed. Will watch to see if someone adopts this.
I agree that it's better, but it's still uninteresting and not scary in any way; ergo, my downvote remains. I will watch for adoption, though.
