I had no idea that previous generation games were coded in BASIC. Thank god they've finally implemented arrays.

See it. See it right now. Why are you still reading this? Go see John Dies at the End. Now. I'll go see it with you. I will buy your ticket. Just go. You want to see this movie. Trust me.

But I guess misrepresenting what the website says is more satisfying.

It's possible to still easily play Origin System games, though: abandonware sites. The legality is questionable, of course, but if we're talking about Things That Can Be Done, playing System Shock and Ultima fall into that category. (Or you could track down a physical copy and hope it was...

This is like making Casablanca into a Saturday morning cartoon series. Leave BioShock alone, 2K, you have enough money.

Well, given that they'd have to be self-centered Objectivists to move there...yeah, probably.

You forgot to put on your sunglasses mid-sentence.

Now that the game's out, and I've finished it, it's really interesting to reread this article. I see what you did there, David Cage. (Anyone who's finished the game knows what I'm talking about)
