Ich habe assembled a new gaming system, recently. First game the usuals - Civlization V, Far Cry 2, Portal 2, Mass Effect, NFS Shift 2, and some that didn't work (subtext: piracy!). Somebody could be shouting "Dude, those are, like so 2010". But then I went much further back in time, to the "good 'ol days" as I remember - the arcade days, and downloaded Kawaks, an emulator (it has come a long way) for CPS1/2 and NeoGeo, and my <3 game, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. Now I have a dedicated 2.15 billion transistors pushing out 1.792 teraflops for a game of 25 years in the past. So 1980s, and I know it. Feels like revisiting my life.
Besides the ones we could claim familiarity to (through the game), this scrip summarises other characters: "...various criminals, politicians, scientists, and inventors who populate the dystopian world of tomorrow. There is also a race of reptilian humanoids who cannot speak in a human language but instead communicate by spelling words with Scrabble tiles."
Alongside this trivia, I also had an iota-upgrade on dinosaurs. For example, I had no idea that those ferocious little 'uns in all the movies are Allosaurus, and that the Brontosaurus is not called that anymore, it's Apatosaurus, and that it wasn't the biggest thing out there (note: see Sauropods, and esp see this). Oh, and now Opiliones give me a hard-on.
And I think I'm gonna print and hang this on my wall
