In Episode 1 of the game, you will follow Carabella as she tries to find and buy music by her favorite band, Cradle of Filth. Carabella has various choices about how she can get the music. Each of these different choices involves different rights managements, which somehow end up screwing her in the end.
If you/Carabella download the album from online, you will be jailed. Your family will hate you. And you will never marry Prince Lance from N'Sync.
If you decide to get a job, you can do so in two ways. You can either go to the burger stand and get an injury on the job, or hook yourself on the street, and get a life-threatening illness.
The game's scoring system reflects the real-life trade-offs that face fans looking for music online. Carabella gets points for getting her music, and for cooking swedish meatballs in her spare time. She loses points for dying (doesn't everyone)?
At the end of episode 1, she will meet up with a drunken sounding dinosaur named Jar jar, and pick up a little boy along the way (Yippee!).
In episode 2, this boy grows up to sexually harass her. It is your choice to determine the destiny of Carabella. Carabella gains points for slapping the pervert teenager and calling him a bad actor, while loses points for swooning over cheesy lines.
At the end of episode 2, a little green computerized muppet comes in, and kicks the RIAA's ass. He then uses the force to demand sexual favors from Carabella's weak mind, and fathers a full-sized alien named Greedo.
At the end of the saga, Carabella discovers that Charlton Heston is her father (but no, that's impossible). She retires to an institute on Dagobah, and is thrown into the swamp after a young Jedi fails to keep her suspended it midair.
My credit card number is 421766..... wait... wait... wait... I hear breathing on the other end of the phone line. Oh, that's you? I forgot I was calling a phone sex number...
It's kind of like your profile PinkPineApple.... It says to drop a message hi, but you have no email listed...
Like Microsoft. Open source one day, open protocol (like ODBC), and then the door slammed in your face another day. I never thought I'd be comparing MSFT to a woman.
This vehicle is a hybrid, meaning that they couldn't go electric all the way.
And since it only has two seats, you too get to experience the "Art of Compromise", and you too can't "go" all the way.
Like a heroin addict gone to methadone instead of quitting cold turkey. Like a red meat eater only eating chicken and fish instead of going vegan. Like a virgin, touched for the very first time....
No wait... that's right.. You don't get laid. All you get is Road Head. Behold the art of compromise!
Even better, now I can resell the tracks I've downloaded to other people. Finally! A reason to have Britney Spears resident on my hard drive! *shivers*
If your enemies have a sufficiently large budget to build this kind of thing, they'd almost certainly find it easier just to bribe someone with access to the information to reveal it, to physically attack some unencrypted version of the information, or to retrieve the keys (by, for example, bugging your keyboard).
And Term 2C says that if someone even alleges you are infringing on copyright, you can be shut down with no notice, no recourse, and there's nothing you can do about it--the agreement indemnifies them completely.
And of course, for $49.95, we can look past this injunction and set you back up again. Of course, in doing this we take no responsibility for the system kicking you off again.
But that's okay. 49.95 gets you back up and running again... For a while.
Why am I somehow reminded of a sketch by Monty Python called the Dirty Hungarian Phrasebook. I'd just love to see someone hack a translator, just so we can see lots of Japanese people going around saying:
Did I say you have a beautiful body, would you hold it against me? I am no longer infected.
Drop your panties Sir William, I cannot wait until lunchtime.

Damn, I can't wait.
I always thought the voice of god would be at a pretty low frequency I don't know... Is there such thing as puberty for a deity?
I guess there is no spoon afterall...
would be if Slashdot was hacked and this is the story that the hackers came up with :)
I'm sorry, but I'd rather stay at home chatting up guys who *say* they're women than knowing that they're not.
How dare those britishers! They still think that us Yankees are a colony of theirs.
Now tell me, ye fine young lad, just who is my Parlimentary Representative for California?
- Find new prime numbers.
- Search for Intellegent life.
- Crack Crypto.
- Play Doom 3 on it.
Come on now, which one of these sounds the most entertaining?My credit card number is 421766..... wait... wait... wait... I hear breathing on the other end of the phone line. Oh, that's you? I forgot I was calling a phone sex number...
Can you hear me now? Good!
That would definately have to be physics from another universe...

Damn, I can't win! Mark this -1 for loser. :)
I don't care, my karma is fine. I'm waving the bird at you.
He who has too many gadgets along with his hot tub deserves to be electrocuted.

So if I say I work at AMD, do I get karma too?
*blah blah blah* works faster *blah blah blah* higher IPC *blah blah blah* Better memory interface *blah blah blah* lower price *blah*.
There, I'm done. Where's my cookie?
For $347, it better make me crack.
Stan: Why's this damn thing taking so long?
Kyle: Stupid slashdot crashed our DSL.
Kenny: MFFMFMMMFMFMMMFMM
Stan: Yeah, this movie of Cartman's mom's taking forever to download.
Cartman: That's it! Screw you guys, I'm going home!

Hi, I'm Uncle Sam. Won't you be my neighbor?
No... wait... That's Steve Jobs' favorite hacking movie... my bad.

Because the line "Wanna play with my Gladiator?" gets the same dirty look as "Wanna play with my Snake?"
Of course, then I'd whip it out... My phone, that is...
What would my Priest do? What the hell is that? A bumper sticker for NAMBLA?
