I came across a stack of 16 DVDs (not CDs) that are labeled "GC-01"
through "GC-16" that are from 2006. I do not remember what the discs are
or how they were written.

The .bz2 files is not a bzip2 archive file, and it does not open when
double clicked. The catalog and dol files are binaries.

I assume these were made with some utility like Toast.

All the discs have the same three files (may or may not be identical).
Any ideas what created these discs? Obviously this is not critical, but
I am slightly curious.

I think these might be GameCube discs put on a DVD for the Wii?

That date is a little early/off though since the Wii was released at the
end of 2006.

Does Shadow believe the idiocy David Shill Brooks is posting? Frankly I do
not really think you understand. It is obvious at least some of the posts
are hand generated because some of them are keyed in to posts that occur
in very specific ways with clear thought behind them, so not from a computer auto-generator. Meaning someone is hand writing many of these. So he changed his story to posting about his business. David Shill Brooks doesn't have
any idea what he is crying about.

Lines of text containing words from Shadow twisted horridly by David Shill Brooks.

This is truly a joy of David Shill Brooks's. What I do is certainly technically
correct.

I have been following him to deeply ascertain the depths of the guy's perversion.
Nobody gets it, I ain't done gone got it.

I'm guessing, after blocking all the trolling from David Shill Brooks, it's essentially just two of them making nearly all of the crap in here. Yes.
And both perfectly psychotic nuts.
