Slashdot Mirror

It takes chunks of dialog from the Daikatana characters and sets it to a cheesy porn soundtrack to provide a whole new meaning to the "big sword" moniker. This link came from Old Man Murray.

Much funnier than ASCII text could ever be.

:wq!

Okay, for a good laugh I suggest everyone check out Old Man Murray. They've been ripping Romero a new one for a good year now over this game, and I suspect actually having a playable demo will fuel their fire. They'll trash this baby in style. Check out some of the older Daikatana coverage to see what I mean.

Totally hilarious.

Here's the 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' review:

We discovered that the feeling you get from not receiving a million dollars because you lost the game is exactly the same as the feeling you get from not receiving a million dollars when you win the game.

OK, after reading the definition of "Britishing", I have to wonder what kind of sick stuff CowboyNeal is into.

From Old Man Murray's RPG reviews:

Sick of UO? Think you could make a quick buck building your character and selling it? Until one of these games has whores you can visit, it will simply not be real world enough for erik.

Rebuttal from erik, GED:

What the hell are you talking about? The only reason I play UO is for all the "Britishing": paying real world dollars to people for cyber-sex, then player killing them as I climax. That's the only reason anyone plays UO - all the violent sex. Jesus, man, where have you been?

I'm no gamer, but I know prophetic comedy when I read it.

Heh heh heh... Michael Swindell... heh.. Swindle... think about it. If I can't say something intellignet about the topic, at least I can make fun of anyone who has had their name attached to it... whee!

Look, there's no point in ranting here because User Friendly isn't funny anyways. I could be "the" damn Iliad himself and I would not change my mind on this issue. I have yet to laugh at one single cell of this strip, despite having hundreds e-mailed to me over the years from coworkers and masochistic friends who like to see me in pain. For more on how you should feel about User Friendly, please consult OMM, the source for all your Thresh/Blue's News/Roberta Williams/User Friendly hating needs.

This is as offtopic as an offtopic thing with a degree in offtopicness from the Massachusetts Institute of Offtopicality, but the abovementioned site has a link to the funniest and most entertaining thing I've read since Old Man Murray was slashdotted a couple of weeks ago. It's blurbed as follows (for those who prefer to teleport non-blind):

On another lighter note, let me tell you the story of Fry, and how the Internet got him laid. He was in a Yahoo chat room talking to a married woman who lived near him, and they decided to meet. The story isn't as simple as that though, as you will find out if you decide that you feel like reading a true account of a regular [21] year old guy who found out that there is more to life than playing Quake 3. Check out the story here, it's pretty erotic in a perverted Dawson's Creek sort of way.

I could bring this back ontopic by linking the obligatory Richard Dawkins Astrology 99 buglist, or citing 'the very real phenomenon that the birth days of proficient sports people tend to be distributed very non-uniformly across the seasons' [Dudink, A. (1994), Birth date and sporting success, Nature 368, p.592.], or whiffle on about horoscopes as Dicemanesque Mission Packs.

But how unfunny would that be on an 'It's funny. Laugh.' topic? And anyway, I aint no steenkin' Jon Katz.

Yeah, NGR is cool, but if you want REALLY evil game-related commentary, try Old Man Murray.

They're the official game site of the U.S. Postal Service! Really!
