Another Shakespeare rewrite for all of you. A /hi5 for the first person to correctly guess the play.
I have possess'd you Devs of what I purpose,
And by our holy cause have I sworn
To have the due and forfeit of our revamp.
If you deny it, let the danger light
Upon your code and your game's freedom.
You'll ask me why I rather choose to have
A simple smuggling system rather than
millions of credits. I'll not answer that,
But say it is my honor: is it answer'd?
What if my char be troubled with a glitch,
And I be pleas'd to give ten thousand credits
To have it ban'd? What, are you answer'd yet?
Some men there are love not a gaping pig;
Some that are mad if they behold a cat;
And others, when the bagpipe sings i' the nose,
Cannot contain their urine; for affection,
Mistress of passion, sways it to the mood
Of what it likes or loathes. Now, for your answer:
As there is no firm reason to be render'd,
Why he cannot abide a gaping pig;
Why he, a harmless necessary cat;
Why he, a wauling bagpipe; but of force
Must yield to such inevitable shame
As to offend, himself being offended;
So can I give no reason, nor I will not,
More than a lodg'd hate and a certain loathing
I bear TH, that I follow thus
And by our holy cause have I sworn
To have the due and forfeit of our revamp.
If you deny it, let the danger light
Upon your code and your game's freedom.

RIchard III?
Been awhile since I read that one, but it sounds along those lines.

Nice 
And this is against my better judgement, as I can't remember this being in it, but: Macbeth?

However, 5 stars for you as well

I liked Hamlet very much but beyond the 5-7 plays that I was required to read I dont know much Shakespeare.

Barber of Seville...figaro-figaro
Sorry I can't help myself,....anytime I see or hear Merchant of Venice thats the first thing that pops into my head.
I like Othello and A midsummer nights dream myself. Hamlet isn't too bad (but that boy needs therapy!)
