Paranoia is fun. Other games are not fun. Play Paranoia.
In all seriousness, It's a great game for newbie players and an experienced GM. All that needs to be said is "Here is your laser. Everything has the possibility to kill you. Go nuts."
I'd have to say my favorite quest was in a tabletop game of Paranoia. "Deliver this note to the clone across the hall." Of course, what the briefing officer neglected to mention was the fact that they still had to go to outfitting and R&D, which were on the other side of the complex. By the time they were done and found the clone they were supposed to deliver it to, they got in a fight over who would deliver it, and not only killed him with a grenade, but blew up half to 3/4 of Alpha Complex.
I can see it now, I work on a document in Word 2033, and Windows or Word crash, sending my brand-new cold fusion reactor power supply into critical mass, making my entire neighborhood a smoking crater. Should these be used for PC power supplies, MS will be the end of the human race... until they release a patch.
You've obviously never played Ninja Gaiden, where the only difference in the difficulty modes was how cheap the enemies were, when you related your power to theirs.
Wow. They even give you his street address, in case you wanna walk up and punch him in the face. He's no longer safe from the school bullies!...Provided he ever gets out of jail.
Doesn't anyone remember those old tiger handhelds that had the "iBud" attached to a controller, put out images that looked like they were made on a cheap calculator that you get from your bank, and cost about $60? The only difference, I believe, is that this one has color, while the handheld did not.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to play my DS, defrag 6 hard drives, burn 10 DVDs, sync my PDA, re-setup my surround sound system, and put a computer in the bathroom so I don't have to stop using the internet because of stupid bodily functions.
Same here. I had to vertically stretch it as far as possible, and even then, I couldn't see as much as I could with my 1.5 buddy list. =\ The stretched tabs are pretty annoying, too. Couldn't find a way to turn those off. I'll wait until it's a bit more usable.
You don't even need a computer for it. Just roll around in newspaper. Or, if you need to have a computer involved, freshly printed documents from an inkjet printer.

Since America is fairly backwards, we'll reverse the Paranoia clearance system so that Ultraviolet is on the bottom. Those government agents love their black suits.

I was reading this in the doctors office this evening in Newsweek, and BAM, it's on /. What's up with that?

"I like your money. Please send me more so that I may rehash something else and take credit for it as my own."
You forgot the "In Soviet Russia..."
It was said for comedic purposes, not for accuracy.

Try out Ayreon, Stream of Passion, and Edguy. They're fairly good.

Put this thing outside on Christmas, singing random anti-Christmas songs, and let the mayhem commence!

Some people like it hot and heavy. ;)
Back to math class for you. -0.7 would be the difference.
But will it take your finger out of the way of the lens when you snap the picture?

Attention citizens! Oxygen rationing has begun. Oh, and Citizen Arn-O-LDX-1, report for reactor shielding duty.
Since I only read half of it, do I give you half of the child?

If the internets should break, how will I get my daily dose of "OMG ZERG RUSH KEKEKEKE! ^^"?
We must be vigilant! So let's be lazy and let the law do our jobs for us!
So that's why the whales and other mammals beached themselves... they were playing rap music!
