Do you need me to troubleshoot names? It is what I was made for.

Yes, alison, I am a hero.
So there's a couple of guys here working on a scripting language for Neverwinter Nights, so you can create your own levels. The tool that they're writing involves many a beta version, and rather than continuing to number them, they are coming up with clever (?) names for the beta versions. The last one they used was beta beta bo beta. Now, because a previous version was named beta beta beta, someone suggested using war movies as a theme. (Tora Tora Tora). Peering into the sad, sad world of geek humour, some of the names that resulted:
- Beta Beta Beta
- Beta over the River Beta
- Dr. Strangebeta; or how I learned to stop worrying and love the beta
- Full Beta Jacket

et donc, tu es correct. es-tu heureux? Je ne veut pas penser du forme correct des phrases français maintenant parce-que j'ai un composition des etudes du femmes d'ecrire.
You know what's a problem? When you configure your keyboard to allow for accents etc, you use the ability to have square brackets, question marks and apostrophes. And aside from memorizing all the alt-0233 codes for the accented letters, I don't really know what to do, but it sure is frustrating.
Anywho, back to paper.

I still think it should be "un composition de huit à dix pages," but to say so would be nitpicky...
Virtual Real Estate. I mean, virtual (i.e. not based on real resources or economic contribution) money made on the stock market is bad enough. But virtual (i.e. based purely on specifically set transistors on some server somewhere) virtual money is ridiculous. (But what do I know? The GDP of MMPORGs is estimated at around $4 billion.)

j'ai dit "un composition de huit ou dix pages" mais tu es correct, Paras. Je devrais dit "entre huit et dix pages." Je suis desolée. Et hier soir, qu'est-ce que j'ai fait? J'ai crée un singe des chaussettes rayés: bleu, orange, argent et rose. C'est très amusant.
And in non french, why do I feel like I know the guy dressed up as Mr. T? Anyone? Is that a local picture, or no? He looks a little too familiar to just be some nobody from another city.
bah, I haven't started my paper yet. merde.

oh yeah, I forgot to mention the rules I used to obtain my score. The rules are simple and are as follows:
1. You need name only the artist, not necessarily the name of the album. If you can identify the artist but not the name of the record, it counts.
2. If you're not sure whether or not your're right, it doesn't count. You have to be certain of what it is. You either know it or you don't.
And that's all there is to it.

Shit. I could only identify 34 out of 70 of these pixel-drawn record covers. Surely somebody can do better than my miserable score. Try it.
