I logged in to write my own rhyme It just felt appropriate this time But alas, I'm no poet (You must surely know it) For I've run out of words I can rhyme!

Exactly my point. I've seen boxed editions of classic adventure games for exhorbitant sums on e-bay. This brings up an issue with copyright and the internet. The term "abandonware" refers to software that is no longer supported or available from the publisher. At this point, it becomes...

QFT. At this point, I actually endorse pirating the classics and playing them through ScummVM.

Yup. Also, 77% of all statistics are made up!

I had a lucid dream awhile back. I dreamt that I was lounging on a deckchair on top of a half-submerged deathstar in the middle of the arctic ocean. I looked up and suddenly realized I was dreaming. So I immediately jumped into the water and went whale riding. It was absolutely magical.
