I had an idea the other day. It dawned on me that Portal (If you don't know, you should. It's awesome, look it up. Hint: It's a video game made by Valve) would fit nicely into the world of Paranoia (It's a wacky RPG).
See, back in the day I painted miniatures for a friend of my Dad. I spent a lot of that money on games, game accessories and miniatures. I had a bunch them: Dungeons and Dragons (Basic, Expert & Advanced) Blood Bowl, Top Secret, Star Frontiers, Car Wars and Marvel Super Heroes. I wanted Boot Hill, Gamma World, Paranoia and Twilight 2000 but I stopped buying any more games because we never really played anything other than D&D.
Now I'm thinking about trying to get a Paranoia game going. Three reasons. One: because I had the idea that it would be fun to put it together and build scenery and such. Two: I want to use this music as a back drop.

And Three: I thought it would be awesome to use a text-to-speech program on line to "voice" the computer. Something like this:

If you have the Paranoia game, get it, then go there and try typing in some computer "dialog" It's pretty cool.
Now I only need more time to work on this stuff. Sigh...
