Archiving the History of Virtual Worlds 127
eldavojohn writes "Some members of the University of Texas are trying to create a repository to store the histories of online virtual worlds. They hope that game makers will take advantage of this repository as they define standards of how to save interactions not only between players and the virtual worlds but also other players. How many times have I destroyed you in a duel? Let's check the records!"
Reminds me of the best Star Trek episode ever (Score:5, Funny)
Some alien beings have partially downloaded the Enterprise's computer files. The files contain a history of a made up 'world' from a game that Wesley Crusher had been playing. The aliens believe this to be the true history of humans.
Of course the aliens believe that Wesley is the captain. Captain Crusher saves the day by traveling through time and re-writing the history file to show that he is actually the Alien's God and they should be friendly to the Enterprise. The aliens go on there merry way. Worf then kills, slaughters and eats Wesley.

I'm sorry, but that sounds like the finale of the best Trek episode ever.

No, that would be the one where Kirk dies, twice. Pity that was in a novel instead of onscreen.
Hardly an exhaustive list... (Score:5, Funny)
Well, for starters, my shoulders hurt like hell first thing I wake up in the morning. I can't find a position that doesn't cause them to hurt so much.
Another pressing matter: I just rubbed my eye after eating a banana pepper about 2 hours ago, without having washed my hand. I look like somebody shot my dog right before my eyes.
I've got a lot of weight to lose, I'm starting to get a bald spot, and I have a yeast infection on the end of my trouser trout that I'm seeing a doctor about on Wednesday 'cos the Cloromotrinasdlkjasdf;ljasdf;lj stuff isn't working.
And that's just for starters.

Just do a search on youtube for secondlife. Guaranteed you'll find lots of historical SL footage. Free hugs, Harry potter, and flying penises are all there.

The first time I saw Cause and Effect, which is the episode you're referring to, I was three years old and watching with my parents. Needless to say, I started bawling because everyone was DEAD! My parents frantically tried to calm me down, and had pretty much succeeded by the end of the commercial, when they were able to say "Look, there they all are!" And then the ship exploded again, with exactly the same results. And again. And again. By the end, my parents were cracking up, but I wasn't allowed to watch Star Trek again until Voyager started.
