The white/multicolored sparkly clouds were in 1st quest. They took your sword away for a few seconds. 2nd quest had red clouds (took your sword away permenantly) and blue clouds (which restored it). Problem one, some dungeons had only red clouds, a real pain in the ass:(
In the secret mission for episode 6, there was one really short level that was actually an entire grid full of secret pushwalls. If you moved them around right and didn't block off any paths, you saw a secret sprite that said "CALL APOGEE, SAY AARDVARK." It was a contest of sorts, but was cancelled before release because there were already map editors out from the shareware version.

-Farming the graveyeard ghosts for money
-Checking the white/master sword caves after every dungeon to see if I was "ready"
-Dying like a million times to those fly-things in Death Mountain
-Fucking red clouds...

-Being really confused by the dodongo/digdogger name switch in level 5
Hey, let's be fair. He got betrothed to Aisha when she was six, but waited until she was nine to actually tie the knot. Come on, the guy's got some standards!
Seriously, wikipedia's fun for looking up klingons and that funny shoe in stage 5-3 of Super Mario Brothers 3, but it's never going to be anything much more.
The 'Internet Gambling Prohibition Act,' (PDF) which updates the 'Wire Act' to prohibit Internet gambling regardless of whether the servers are located in the US or outside of it, is in direct contravention of a WTO ruling.
I think this act violating some funny acronym takes a backseat to the idea of every nation's own soverignity.
Am I the only one not surprised that when you put a group of people in an entertaining environment with common goals, they develop a positive social structure that emphasizes cooperation and just generally being a good sport?
If by "positive social structure" you mean "abusing any and all methods, intentional or cheat-wise, to con/deceive/insult/steal from other players for the sheer thrill", then yeah.
Looks like all the worries over a cold war between the aging US and up-and-coming China just fizzled out. It's like the Chinese had the enemy in their sights, pulled the hammer back, then just turned the gun around and blew their head right off.
Freedoms of religion, speech, and commerce mean nothing to the common Chinaman. Take away their Starcraft and you'll have instant civil war.

This comment is an awesome.
It is made of win and good.
Who has ever heard of a famous lawyer who felt others pain, considered their positions and was meak and soft-spoken in court?
Atticus Finch.
(famous, but he did lose, though...)
You should take a page from Star Trek.
If the Klingon captain isn't honorable enough to sleep with her, it's your sacred duty to relieve him of command and take over the ship.
So much for "acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force; we work to better humanity..."

It's asymtotic. The value of "content" as it approaches zero... is still more than free, you retards.
The old man in level 5 told me "dodogdo dislikes music". So like a trusting little lamb, I left the dungeon and went all the way back to level 2 :(

Sure you're not thinking of Wolfenstein3d?

Is to join those ten thousand Atari 2600 ET carts at the bottom of that landfill in New Mexico
I think building a "frickin' laser beam" on the moon might still be enough
What an intrieguing idea. I wonder if my country would ever try pulling something like this.

Um, you won't?
Internet -- it's serious business.

Yeah, but I don't pay to have it done at work.
It's no one's fault. MMORPGS just aren't for me.

electronic touch screans and their relitives can be made much moe accessable to disabled voters.

They're not called "disabled" for nothing, you know...
Well, of course OSS is doomed. Brannon Braga is like the anti-me of King Midas. Everything he touches turns to crap. First Enterprise, now this.
Geez, have some excitement for once in your life, grandpa!
Simple solution: Make grafitti'ing public property okay, but not private property. Everyone's happy.
Actually, all British people have to use both of those two phrases in conversation at least once an hour. It's the law.
I always thought it was "pkill [insert_enemy/guild_name_here repeatedly" until they can no longer play the game
Though, my MMORPGs I've played all included a death penalty, making the above very possible.
