Title: Greetings message v6.43
Post by: davidr on October 11, 2014, 03:33:49 PM
Just clicked on my Aurora desktop shortcut to the exe and the following pop-up appeared :-

Greetings Professor Falken , shall we play a game?

Clicking on OK took me to the game details menu to choose which game to play.

Has anyone else seen this message, or is it a bit of malware ?

linkxcs ,

First time I have seen it in over hundreds of clicking on the shortcut icon. No , have not got a screenshot , clicked on OK and was taken to the Game. My virus scanners have not picked up anything unusual so far.

I had it one time.  I presume it's intentional, and intentionally rare.

No, not a virus - just my strange sense of humour :)

Years ago my uncle gave me a "alien" license as a present (in a card) that had that joke.

...And apparently by both genders! ;D

...I guess there is a reason why his/her health condition declined this early.

...Not assigned to a command, but still "in Tour" for nearly 7 years.(http://www.greensmilies.com/smile/smiley_emoticons_anmachen.gif)

...Despite her/his low rating, he/she hopes for Rear Admiral someday.

Enough!

Man, this made me look through my commanders and I found one with this joke in it, but I lost him scrolling through. I searched again but couldn't find him/her.
