The Legend of Hybrid...

The RPG industry has its legendarily bad games.. Spawn of Fashan, FATAL, Racial Holy War, SenZar, but nothing exceeds in sheer ability to stun a gamer like Hybrid.

This puppy hasn't even been published, and it is a legend. You see, the "author" likes to make long rambling posts to gaming groups consisting of nothing but excruciating mathematical formula describing how his system models obscure Marvel and DC characters. He will go on for several hundred lines, no breaks, without once defining his terms. We'll ridicule him, he'll go away, only to return to claim that his RPG rules are modeled on the very laws of reality!

Today, I finally went out to his webpage.

Oh, my lack of God.

This rivals the infamous Timecube. I'm rolling to disbelieve.

Ladies and gentlemen, enter if you dare. Hold onto to your SAN. I give you H Y B R I D: V 0.21

I think it long since stopped being a game.

This is an obsessive-compulsive who tries to affix numbers to everything and has no other skills. As such, he applies the hammer of mathematics to all the nails he sees, including the ones that are really tables, people, oceans, continents, and voting booths.

This will amuse you. I was just playing around in Google Groups, and found the Great Inphobia Flame Fest. Been ten years since "Hey Net Punks" graced our screens...

I agree. In fact, I would say that this is what autism looks like.
