It occured to me earlier today that Stardock's deep concern and appreciation for the mental un-health and instability of us beta testers bears a strong resemblance to a certain evil scientist. I was of course compelled to produce the following homage to Stardock (and MST3K)...
---------------------------
On a not to distant network
Somewhere in Stardock's lair
The evil Dr. Frogboy
Was hatching an evil scheme.
He conned some people with crazy names
Just regular guys wanting to play some games.
His company needed a good test case
So he rooted their computers
And filled all their drive space. (Let us play!)
(Dr. Frogboy sings)
I'll send them buggy games,
The worst we can code (la-la-la).
They'll have to sit and play them through
And I'll monitor their drives (la-la-la).
Now keep in mind they can't control
When the games download (la-la-la)
They'll have to keep their sanity
With the help of their forum friends.
Forum Roll Call:
ScoutDog! (My poor computer!)
Raven! (with an X!)
VTurtle! (I'm Valiant!)
Kroooouv! (That's one "o"!)
If you're wondering how they report their bugs
and other geeky facts (la-la-la),
Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a game,
I should really just relax..."
For Elemental Theater 3000!
(actually 2010)

It was hard finding a forumite with a one syllable name, so congrats to Krouv for making the cut. This is based on the 2nd Mike Nelson song (pre-Pearl) for those who are keeping track. It worked the best.
