Gatecrashing page 99
Did anyone else catch the joke on pg. 99 of gatecrashing? If you don't know what I'm talking about you didn't get it.

Re: Gatecrashing page 99
root@Gatecrashing page 99 [hr] I haven't downloaded my paid copy of the book yet, so I may have a different page reference than you do for page 99. On my page 100 there is the side bar where "Shall I compare thee to a summers day" gets filtered, which reminds me of Mollum a bit. There are excellent jokes buried everywhere in that book though, so I'm not sure which one you are referring to.

Well, here's a hint: it's a gamer in-joke.

Re: Gatecrashing page 99
Your Page 99 could be different to other people's. Do you mean the actual page 99, or page 99 in reference to your PDF? Because my Page 99 is a discussion between Proxies. I see no "in-joke" here.

Re: Gatecrashing page 99
It's the page with the proxies discussing the communication devices. The joke is hidden in the picture at the bottom.

Re: Gatecrashing page 99
I spent a while scouring the text, thinking "What the hell, man?" before you said that it was in the image. Given that it says earlier in the chapter, though, I think you're seeing a joke where there is none.
