Hrmph. I'm having a bad day. The streak of bad luck began when last night, while I was trying to sleep, the power supply in my partner's computer exploded. We are now trying to fix it. Though that's not that big a deal.
This morning I had an exam/test. The topics to which I could have written volumes were largely ignored (or were dealt with in small questions that won't yield many points) - but a third of the available score was packed into two questions that I couldn't write anything about. So either the rest of my answers is good to enough to just scrape by in a test that could have been much better, or I'll have to repeat the whole thing. Either way I'm disappointed and angry.
And one of the things that I like to do when I feel that way is to make at least someone else's life a tiny bit better. So here's a giveaway. :) The prize is Star Control 1+2. Especially Star Control 2 is an extremely enjoyable game - part adventure, part space combat, some strategy and arcade elements, an epic plot, creative ideas, and a lot of light-hearted humorous dialogue. It's a game that should be able to brighten days much darker than mine. :)
If you want the game, please answer the following three questions. But I'm not looking for _correct_ answers - if you know the answers, then you probably played the game already anyway. I'm looking for answers that make me laugh ... or smile ... or groan ... or at least something else than clench my fist. ;)
So, find interesting non-correct answers to those three questions:
1. Should we all join Juffo-Wup, and why?
2. What is Frungy, and why are the Zoq-Fot-Pik so obsessed with it?
3. Should we *dance* with the Orz, even it makes us *frumple*?
All your answers _will_ pass this test. :) The winner will be determined be random.org. The giveaway is open until I go to bed later today, which is probably in about 7 hours, but it might be earlier or later. I'm not setting a fixed date, I just want to end this day with gifting the game. :)
