In retrospect, had I chosen this game of chess instead of the Anderssen/Kieseritzky one, the Immortal Game story might have better reflected the playerbase.  At least on Triumph.

Loved it!

I wonder which player was wearing no pants?  Probably Kasparov. :o

What the...
We were heroes. We were villains. At the end of the world we all fought as one. It's what we did that defines us.
The end occurred pretty much as we predicted: all servers redlining until midnight... and then no servers to go around.

Somewhere beyond time and space, if you look hard you might find a flash of silver trailing crimson: a lone lost Spartan on his way home.

What in the name of Lord Recluse's Spidery Embrace did I just watch?

There was a source of great power beneath Paragon City, another Well that few people knew about.

Yeah, you water blasters know what I'm talkin' bout.  8)

Beer?

Well, it USED to be beer.

A relevant quote springs to mind -

Adam Savage from Mythbusters, during the "Salsa Escape" episode (2005):

"God, this stuff smells rank. Eew, it's warm! I didn't want it to be warm!"

"I've never believed in the End Times. We are mankind. Our footprints are on the moon. When the last trumpet sounds and the Beast rises from the pit — we will KILL it."

This may very well be the silliest thing I've seen on the internet. And that's coming from a fan of Chad Vader.
I wouldn't use the word "replace," but there's no word for "take over for you and make everything better almost immediately," so we just say "replace."

You haven't seen much of the internet, I see.

I don't know whether to be amused or ashamed that I know the video is actually a parody on a real song.

Silly all the same.

:P
I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder

Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Goin' to a party where no one's still alive

I did say "may." Who says it wasn't a challenge? (Which you rose to nicely!  ;) )
