Does anyone remember this? And back then did you think that this was the best thing that could happen to you in your life? EVER!

I was a bit more of a fan of Automan. Came out at about the same time, if I recall correctly.

The issue is that some games mark their saves as being non-transferable. This means that when you attempt to restore your backup to a new machine, it will just choose to omit that portion of the restore. I had the same issue occur for me restoring to a replacement 60 gb ps3 after my old one failed.

If the content that's missing is downloadable content from the PSN, then you may have to contact Sony if you find that you can't restore your content via downloads. I had to do that to get back my SingStar content.

You probably want to keep the survival guide at your desk, just in case of a new outbreak. It's much more practical then trying to leaf through the oral history trying to find out what the experts did.

Sounds like the whole Eternal November issue. Folks did initially get pumped into the Usenet from AOL and Compuserve. And left it once the first web browsers came online to serve them pictures with everything.

My guess is that the original convention/behavior came from the combination of the heavy keyboard action of the terminals of the day, and the lack of typing skills. That and it saves ink if you're forced to use a teletype console.

EDIT: The rest of us are just lazy bastards who don't want to type more than they must.

I actually liked Diaspora more. It's in the same vein, only more-so.

There was also Shockwave Rider, by John Brunner.

Bride with the White Hair?

I was going to say it wasn't real at all, but then I read more deeply. There definitely are a few people who had real beefs with the hospital. That said, I live in Pittsburgh, and Mercy Hospital would not be one of my first choices in hospitals.

Now, for extra credit, make sure that your nick matches the letter that's next in the chain.

But it needs to be blue!

Only way my grandmother is running an ARG is if it's a tie-in for a Romero film. :) Point taken, though.

nnunley

It was an arranged marriage.

Are they trying to set up an ARG tie-in? Two of the three videos have a toll-free number to call.
