    I can see now: Access Denied. You are not allowed to view /personalrecords.pl until you have successfully found all 6 Diamond Crystals and converted them to Gaia Armor or until you have beaten stage 4 in the Darm Realm, "Ville of the Damned." add more excitement to that dull intarnet!

    You're better off playing chess with someone in Europe by writing your each individual move on paper, putting it in a glass bottle, and throwing it into the North Atlantic.

    I tried that once, and almost had a checkmate. Thanks Él Niño for ruining my game!

    In related news, port scans of wehavethewayout.com indicate that it is running on a GameBoy Advance. It is reputed to be much more stable than the Windows IIS put in to replace the FreeBSD box.

    He is using a FlashLinker from Lik-Sang in Taiwan. Covered before on /.
