Excellent! [In reply to] Can't Post

As usual, 'Epic Rap Battles' gets in all the in-jokes they can manage! Their writers and directors really know what they're doing.

Very well done, though not (quite) up to my top favorite in the series, "Edison v. Tesla". Thanks for bringing it to us, Dernwyn!

I've never heard of this obviously very popular series. [In reply to] Can't Post

More than two million views and nearly 50,000 comments on that video in less than two days? Very impressive. And pretty darn clever!

And I LOVE that George is playing Zork on that old ...x86 PC? [In reply to] Can't Post

I grew up playing text adventure games (in my case, on a Commodore 64).

I'll send the thanks along [In reply to] Can't Post

to my geeky son - he's constantly informing me of these 'battles", and could hardly contain his excitement when this one was published! Cool

Edison v.Tesla should be a requirement for any American History class. How a self-serving ego can shape the future.

I was introduced to these [In reply to] Can't Post

by my son, who keeps me informed of ones he knows I'd have an interest in.

Even with 13 million subscibers, I'm still impressed that this one drew that kind of immediate response!

It looked a bit like my Apple IIe. [In reply to] Can't Post

I was wondering what kind of computer that was.

One government facility I worked at back in those days was reported to have a text Star Trek game on its computers...I saw printouts from it, but I never found it!

I had a Starwars text game once... that is going WAY back... [In reply to] Can't Post

I have only one memory of it. You were on the Death star and came to a door labelled ST and the description said something about "ST... could that mean Star Trek??" Of course when you open the door you are killed by a large group of storm troopers.

Never trust anything that references Star Trek in a Star Wars game! Laugh

Yes, indeed. So many ERUDITE and thoughtful posts from TORn mods over the years, but now I know what goes on at those
after-parties. Partying with the Elven King *huh*.

And all this time I thought the mods were working on the Dictionary of Second Age Khuzdul.EvilAngelic
