Brentism and the Ten Commandments

During Term II 2010, the students of Programming discovered that Brent Driskill was actually the human manifestation of divine video game perfection. Quickly, a cult legitimate religious establishment was formed, headed by four students known as the Quadrinity. Soon after, a set of commandments were written in the Brent's name to replace those old boring ones put forth by Christianity.

II. THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO YOURSELF A STROBE

III. THOU SHALT NOT TAKE THY NAME OF BRENT IN VAIN
