    Oh, no kidding. Well, I guess it's true that for him nothing comes close to Yggdrasil-level performance for the money. Sure it's not without its flaws, as highlighted in his message from the beyond (blackground, tape-hiss emphasis, etc), but apparently only the TotalDAC comes close to beating it at over $10k USD...... oh well, I guess we'll stay tuned for his next communication. Ask him if he can see into the future for us, and to give us a hint at what that future looks like (e.g., will we finally have flying DACs?)

    Damn, for a second I thought it was the ancient runic script!

    I believe that's the code to get unlimited lives in Ikari Warriors on the NES.

    I always suspected that Torq was not human. A person could not do all that he did. I figured he was visiting earth from an advanced civilization or some sort of AI construct.

    Very interesting reading, didn't know that the black Power Ranger was the green one, Torq knows everything.

    I think it might be Aurebesh. I see "R-2R 7" starting in the third image.

    from the perspective of my limited mind, this must be about a pretty bad dac. Only downward pointing arrows... and a lot of them...

    The curiosity on display in this thread is disappointing. I've translated the first image.

    NOT SURE IF YOU'RE
    INTERESTED IN SUCH
    THINGS STILL ... BUT
    I GOT TO HEAR THE
    AGD R2R 7 AND THE
    LKS MH-DA004 OVER
    THE LAST COUPLE OF
    DAYS.
