Anybody devoting that amount of dedication towards watching Scream 2 deserves it.

Wow, this could possibly be worse than Hackers. I mean, a 56K modem going through about 15 different routers? Yeah, his connection is going to be so slow he can't load any fancy graphics.

And the "hacking floppy" looks like the Phalanx dumped it out half-baked.

I think my two favourite parts about the video are first - that hacking involves using a joystick and traveling through a Halloween themed maze with demons and skeletons.

Second that he is given a 2 minutes before the authorities will track him down during his "hacking". During that 2 minutes he is being continuously warned via floating text that they are hunting him, that they will prosecute him, and that he is breaking the law. Yet somehow completing the demon maze grants him the ability to download the "Scream II binary data file" file for 8 hours and 42 minutes without any fear of being tracked or disconnected from the server.
