Yep... Deadline is the game.

"Rape Ms. Dunbar"

is the infocom thing the one where you told it to rape the women and were carted off to jail?

[BJWanlund]

I've witnessed it (The 'tease') and was gobsmacked. I can't recall seeing anything like it to this degree, at least not currently in our hobby.

Hmm... I'm guessing it's a gaming related thing, and maybe I'm too eagle-eyed for anyone's good, but am I the only one to have noticed a Google+ fan page for a "RetroGaming Radio Plus"? Whatever it is, I can't wait till August.

[Womp]

Me either!

the only thing I am upset about netflix is that they don't stream porn

Unfortunately, you either have to pay per movie or by the minute. When it comes to price gouging, porn studios are the worst. As it is, you can pretty much get all the porn you can possibly watch for the rest of your life online for $0, and these idiots still expect you to pay $20-$30 for a DVD with 5 scenes in it.

As for Netflix... you know, it's funny how lazy we've gotten as a society. Used to, we'd have to make two trips to the video store to rent a movie and then return it. Now days, we're so impatient that we can't even wait for the movies to be delivered.

An odd dream I have had is that I was winning money in a Casino but the machines were weird variations of video poker and reel machines. Then when I wake up I don’t have a penny more than when I went to sleep. Another odd dream that I have had was that I was surrounded by all the classic games I could imagine, but for whatever reason, I did not play them. I am sure my recent visit to California Extreme and the Classic Arcade Museum probably had something to do with it. But what do I know, I am not a doctor or a psychologist.

Here's a good place to go to read up on anything you wanted to know about artificial sweeteners:

http://search.mercola.com/search/pag...x?k=sweeteners

I've read a bunch of them and there is lots of good information there. Also, in one form or another I've also read a lot of what is said here, elsewhere. So this is a one stop place to read up on the subject.

One interesting thing of note I've learned on this site. The sweetness itself causes your body to product insulin, even though it's not a real "sugar".

[WorknMan]

I would imagine that both diet and regular sodas are bad for you. Until it is decided that the diet stuff is/is not healthier, I'll just drink the regular stuff, cuz as long as both are bad for me, I'd just assume stick with the one that tastes better

[Shane R. Monroe]

Forget about that .. it's the insane empty calories that come with real soda. Remember, that 40g of sugar converts to FAT if you don't burn it off.

[TripHamer]

Aspartame is made from the waste product of e coli bacteria that is fed a toxic waste. Splenda is made by combining an atom of sugar with an atom of chlorine. I can handle using them for a little while but at some point it catches up to me and I start not feeling well. In any case, it's nasty stuff. HFCS is no better as it's Fructose and the absolute worse form of sugar you can consume. Stevia is the safest, but has a taste to it....I never tried Agave Nectar.

Let's not forget Sugar Alcohols:

Mannitol
Erythritol
Lactitol
Sorbiatol
Isomalt
Xylitol
Polydextrose
Glycerin (can also be found in anti freeze)

There are probably more.

And Shane....read this:

Diet soda may not have to calories in it but does contribute to weight gain.
