Vincent Ocasla has beaten Sim City 3000. For those of you saying, "So what? He beat a video game," you should know that beating Sim City is like finishing Pac-Man or arguing with your wife -- there is no actual "win" condition. Or so the creators thought, but they didn't count on Ocasla's unsettling obsession.

He created a flawless, fully functional Sim City of roughly six million residents, and it only took him four years. Those aren't "in-game years" either -- those are actual real years of his life: 1.5 years of theory and planning, and 2.5 years of construction (read: clicking on water pipes and power lines while he slowly forgets what it is to experience human love). Though the object of this particular obsession is utterly harmless, the existential dread starts to kick in after you VIEW HIS VIDEO.

The amount of sheer calculation and planning that has gone into this city is beyond any harmless hobby. While we were going about our daily routines, Ocasla was planning. While we were laughing, struggling and just getting by, Ocasla was planning. While we were making love and arguing and growing old together, Ocasla was planning -- planning his ruthlessly efficient, totalitarian dream-state.

The ominous Latin names and sinister music in the video don't do anything to convince us he's not the next Borg overlord, either. And then there are his words. When asked about the fact that in his city, the average life of a citizen lasted only 50 years, he stated: "Health of the Sims was not a priority, relative to the main objective."

One night, in late February of 1999, the actor who played Marius in Les Misérables was sick. Luckily, each main role has two understudies. Although one was a new replacement and had not yet rehearsed the role, the other one was good to go on. Well, should have been, except he'd eaten some bad oysters two days earlier, and those oysters were about to make themselves known. In the beginning of the show, he felt queasy, but, as they say, the show must go on. Things got worse, and after A Little Fall of Rain, the guy had to rush off-stage to... take care of some business, shall we say. The guy who played Feuilly did a couple of lines in the next part, telling Enjolras about Éponine. The poor, sick guy went on again, sick though he was, with a bucket nearby and a swing watching over him. However, he wasn't getting better, so other plans had to be made for Marius' solo, Empty Chairs at Empty Tables. Luckily, the director had once been understudy to Marius, so he quickly went to change into costume. However, during the final battle, the Marius understudy had to leave stage once again due to... well, you know. So, the guy who played Joly had to lie in his place and be dragged through the sewers by Valjean. After that, the director went on as Marius, thus ending the Night of Three Marii.
(Since both the main Marius and the understudy were still sick, and the second understudy still hadn't rehearsed, they had to find a replacement for the next show. Luckily, the previous second cover - who had recently left, leaving the new guy who hadn't rehearsed yet to take his place - was in town to visit his girlfriend. Although he'd never played Marius before during his run as second cover, he still did well. And so this tale ends.)
