I've never heard of this obviously very popular series.

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

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

to my geeky son - he's constantly informing me of these 'battles", and could hardly contain his excitement when this one was published! Edison v.Tesla should be a requirement for any American History class. How a self-serving ego can shape the future.

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!

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 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!

Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..." Dwarves: "Pretty rings..." Men: "Pretty rings..." Sauron: "Mine's better." "Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

but hey, it's Thranduil doing Lady Gaga's Donatella... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB0i3U2U49w 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.
