Fantasy Football writes "CNet lists the top 10 web fads of all-time, including the HampsterDance, All Your Base are Belong to Us, Star Wars Kid, and more. It's a nice nostalgic trip for many stories which were presumably posted on /. years ago."

Subm writes "All your base are turned five! According to AYBABTU: The History, 'June 5, 2000: The Zero Wing Dub Project is posted at OverClocked - the first original AYB humor.'

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to a PlanetTribes post showing off a new set of screenshots (proudly proclaiming the game '29% complete') for Tribes: Vengeance, a forthcoming Unreal-engine PC FPS being developed by System Shock 2 and Freedom Force creators Irrational. The title is an eagerly-awaited sequel to a franchise once thought extremely unwell, and an earlier preview at GameSpot explains that this newly unveiled title should ship in late 2004, and will concentrate on both single and multi-player gameplay aspects this time round.
