I think in this situation it is assumed that you would have a nominated person per office to do the cloning, swapping and carrying in their car.

Just remember to have another nominated person check the clones every now and then, because the first person has no idea why that little red lamp turned on and has been driving around with a blank disk for the past six months.

you can get Secret of Monkey Island from Good Old Games. It's a remake (still kinda old even so), but very faithful.

You may not be able to see "A Midsummer Night's Dream" performed in the Globe Theatre by the Lord Chamberlain's Men, but you can watch "Get Over It" on Netflix. It's practically the same thing.

The "Dark Ages" are called that because of the lack of historical records from that time.

Really. It has nothing to do with how complicated their games were.

Since so much of modern culture -- not just video games but also books, music and movies -- is locked into digital formats which prioritize new sales over preservation of the original, future historians may well look at the current era in the same way.

The ESA is trying to ensure that we continue to live in a Digital Dark Age.

I was also thinking of going to work in Canada (professional with years of experience but living in a shithole country)... You could tell me if it's worth all the trouble of moving? Because by the standards of my country (Brazil) I earn more or less well, but the country is such a mess that I would go away forever and never come back if I can.

Why would he use an anonymous VOIP service to call the police, only to tell them exactly where he is?

You've made your decision then?

Not remotely! Because anonymous VOIP service comes from Australia, as everyone knows. And Australia is entirely peopled with criminals. And criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me. So I can clearly not choose the library in front of me.

Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
