Geekiest Game Joke?

[Profit]

This is unashamedly taken from a 2007 post from another forum:

"A guy at work has this taped to the side of his computer. He works a different shift, so I never see him but I've passed by it at least 100 times without realizing the joke. Then I took a good look one day and had a laugh. On the side of his computer is...

chown -R us ./base

The beauty of this is you have to be at least somewhat geeky to even get it."

Spoiler

->Open Spoiler<-

chown is a Linux command to change owner ship of files. In this case, your changing all the files in the directory 'base' to the user 'us'. Or in other words "all your base are belong to us".

Not exactly game related but I enjoyed this one:

A co-worker started using "thx" to thank others over Skype. I started using "1138".

Sorry if it isn't strictly videogame related but here goes:

- How many fanboys does it take to replace a light bulb?

- Ten. One to do it and nine to complain about how much better the first light bulb was.

And the other 15 who pre-order the next light bulb even though it's exactly the same just with a new box.
