Cult of the Giant Brain (2008)

A Giant Brain quickly regales all of how he has subjugated all of time and space under his will, with only the Earth as his final conquest; as his white-robed cultists gather and worship him (chanting "Brain"), the High Priestess announces his commandments. The first is that September will now be known as Giant Brain Month (the Brian's birthday). The second is all television shows, movies, documentaries, comic books, newspaper articles, blogs and fortune cookies should be about him, the Giant Brain. The Priestess add the phrase "...and his High Priestess." His third commandment is "Thou shalt have no other Giant Brains before me." But the Priestess changes it to "Listen to the High Priestess and everything will be alright." The Giant Brain realizes he does not need a High Priestess and fires her, literally leaving nothing but her robes. The Giant Brain gloats that now nothing can oppose him when suddenly a voice says, "Excuse me!" The cultists gasp in shock as a lowly gamer appears on the balcony and slowly descends the escalator to the lobby to confront the Giant Brain. The Giant Brain is unable to use his mind control or firing power because he only gets three level nine spells a day without resting (the third spell was weather control, the Giant Brain thought it would be chilly). Furthermore, the gamer, quoting the fifth edition player's manual, argues that the Giant Brain no longer has Epic Level because he is one follower short now, indicating the zapped High Priestess. With a scream of horror, the menace of the Giant Brain is over and his cultists are free. But nobody sticks around long enough to hear the gamer tell everyone about his 50th level Paladin.
