  1. ATMs by Yst · · Score: 1 · on The Very Worst Uses of Windows

    I recall when CIBC "upgraded" all its ATMs to Windows some years ago. My first encounter with the new system began with some predictable familiarisation with the new interface. The encounter thereupon somewhat less expectedly continued as an introduction to the boot process, while the machine ate my card and bankbook, which had been in the machine when it crashed. Happily, I had a camera with me:

  5. Re:Where is Planescape:Torment? by Yst · · Score: 1 · on 15 Truly Hideous Examples of Game Box Art

    Indeed, the decision that the best available option for box art was going to consist in dressing Guido Henkel up in crazy blue face paint still leaves me at a loss for words. Especially given how much marvelous art was generated in the process of development. What art from within the game wouldn't have been better?
