Have you not been exposed to /. before now? /. lands somewhere between Dungeons and Dragons and SecondLife, where current events are adventures that are strung together in realtime to form a never ending campaign against the mighty eveel one: Microsoft. Here’s the underlying plot: There’s a foregone conclusion that anything and everything related to MSFT is evil, corrupt, and must be fought from every angle. As such, when a story related to Microsoft is posted, it’s the role of each character in the party to uncover and expose the “truth”, saving us all from the evil terrors of the Microsoft monster. “Hooray!” 😉 – /M:D M.
