If your roommate's in a raid, he's not gonna turn around and notice you shacking up any time soon. World of Warcraft is serious business. '''[[User:Davidy22|Davidy22]]'''[[User talk:Davidy22|<tt>[talk]</tt>]] 06:55, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Is the transcript the original one? [[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.45|108.162.216.45]] 21:51, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
:No, the name Cueball is never mentioned by Randall. But in general it is close to the original one at all.--[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 22:23, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

I don't see how the tour for visiting Nelson Mandela could be interpreted as suggesting that Nelson Mandela was in the rare book collection and the tour was going to visit him - that just seems ridiculous. It's pretty clear that Nelson Mandela's visiting the library. --[[Special:Contributions/199.27.130.143|199.27.130.143]] 13:38, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
:Agreed. I have fixed the entry to reflect the same. It's worth noting that you could have done it first, and explained your edit here. This is, after all, a wiki editable by anyone. [[User:Orazor|Orazor]] ([[User talk:Orazor|talk]]) 09:56, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Is the fact that the roommate says Tuesday a joke on how long raids can last? That he can reply with a day of the week rather than a time? I think I have seen jokes about the lengths of raids in other places, but I'm not sure. [[User:Athang|Athang]] ([[User talk:Athang|talk]]) 21:43, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
: Well if it's WoW then Tuesday is reset and maintenance shutdown day (usually). -Pennpenn [[Special:Contributions/108.162.250.155|108.162.250.155]] 05:15, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

This is a larger idea, so I didn't want to add it without running it by people: Might it be that the visiting Nelson Mandela is a joke about the stereotypical priorities of college students? I.E. that Megan and Cueball are so engaged with the idea of hooking up that a visit from a notable figure is ignored.

:[Cueball walks behind White Hat]
:Cueball: I was trying to figure out why my browser was acting weird.

:Cueball: Turns out it wasn't the browser - the issue was with my keyboard driver.

:Cueball: Debugging ''that'' led me to a mysterious error message from a system utility...

:[White Hat turns around and looks at Cueball]
:Cueball: Anyway, long story short, I found the sword of Martin the Warrior.
:White Hat: I think at some point there you switched puzzles.
