Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Jeez, I forgot this thread even existed.

...well, a bit overdo, I guess, but:

I TOLD YOU SO.  :D

Heh. Just kidding.

Though, frankly, this doesn't surprise me at all, since I've pretty much given up any hope of government(s) acting reasonable or responsible. With any luck an organized response similar to the one leveled against SOPA could work, I suppose...

And so it is, that the information age comes to its knees and rioting and violence become the voice of the common man, when everything else has turned a blind eye. And what bought about this state of anarchy? Not kings, nor generals, nor gods themselves, but the very information we prized, being covenanted by those that see it as not enlightenment, but a commodity.[/i]
Totally read this in Morgan Freeman's voice xD
That's infringement.  Criminal.
Having spent much of the day reading up on Orwell, I read Aqizzar's post as:

That THOUGHTCRIME. Report.

I'm not sure if it's worse that it's applicable or that I'm starting to read Oldspeak normal English in Newspeak today.

Control the media, control the mind.

Yay, lets remove the last standing good source of information the world has, and turn it into another profit venue.
