Actually, with the kind of lowbrow hacks that are out there he might be in worse trouble...! Hello Super Hitler Bros?

Besides, one can get fired for dubious computer related modifications. Though, to be fair, such is rather hilarious.

you didn't contract an STD did you?  1 in 4 people in the world have an STD.  that's what i read, yup.  i did, i did.

You read that 1 in 4 American teenage girls has an STD. At least, that's what I read.

Quote from: FaustWolf
Wow, situations like this are why I've come to prefer Hex over Sex.

You'd rather put a curse on someone than have sex?

If 1 in 4 girls have one, then boys are not far behind, if not ahead.

He was talking Hex editing.  Unless you were being sarcastic.

Yeah, RD was just having some fun with double meanings I think.

@V: I looked it up, and sure enough, Super Hitler Bros. exists. What bothers me more is that it's from the makers of Holocaust Tycoon. Are Neo-Nazis using videogames to further their horrible agenda? Sounds like a plot one would find in ... a videogame.

@Thought: Ha! I'm rather taken aback by the fact that this guy is under fire partially because he had a list of videogame cheatcodes on his computer. However, this is proof that one should never look for HEX on a work computer.

Okay, okay, I'll stop already. But not before I do this:

No matter what a hacker tells you
There's no hex in the Champagne Room.. NONE!
Oh, there's champagne in the Champagne Room
But you don't want champagne.. you want hex,
And there's NO hex.. in the Champagne Room.

For some reason, modifying Chris Rock's famous joke in this way makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :P

Super Monkey RPG seems humourus, at least to me.  I am going to try that one out soon.

Well, hey, look at it this way RD -- I've never heard of Hexually transmitted diseases at least.

Your computer would likely disagree.

Or Hex scandals, for that matter.

Hot Coffee comes to mind.

If Eliot Spitzer were a closet videogame hacker, he wouldn't have lost his job/family/everything. He wouldn't have time for anything else but his job and Hex.

He also wouldn't have had the wife and kids in the first place, since finding a wife involves leaving the basement. If anything, he'd have been caught up in the prostitution ring even sooner!


And yes, to those that didn't get it, I'm having some fun with word play.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I remember seeing the ROM for Super Hitler Bros a long time ago when I was looking through NES ROMs...Here's Super KKK Bros & other horrible, very badly made ROM hacks. I-Mockery rulz.

Touche on the first two points, RD. But in my opinion, it is possible to lead a normal life while secretly being a Hexworker; the typical view of game hackers as living in dungeon-like basements is a damaging misconception. I can't claim to speak on behalf of all videogame hackers, but my Hexlife has boosted my confidence and self-esteem in the real world. Hex is a legitimate art form. And I will never need Cialis to keep it going well into my 80s. Uh, just Cygnus Hex editor. And a computer. And numerous emulators. And...

Worst possible day ever.

Parents never woke me up in the morning so I wasn't able to hang out with a friend (My alarm clock failed to go off even though it was set to 8...).  Since that happened, I wasn't able to eat breakfast becasue I woke up at 10:30.  Which = crank.  Tried working on stuff which failed because my comp was being fucking retarded, then I'm trying to work on something else and my friend started whining to me about his problems.  I had my name set to "Don't talk to me about your problems, better yet don't talk at all" and obviously people are blind and/or illiterate as fuck.  I told him to read my name, he fucking flips out because "Oh you should lsiten to me blah blah blah my life sucks my problems are so much worse then yours".  I can never geta  fucking break from anyone.  Just no one will leave me alone.

Look at it this way justin -- if everyone is hogging your attention, it means you're popular! :)

Maybe you could put "listening to people's problems" on your resume as a volunteer community service?

Just because you don't get to eat in the morning, that doesn't mean you should turn to drugs!
