Jeremy C and I were sitting around in something resembling the parlor of my aunt Mildred's house. I had left my laptop unattended there, and I hadn't set a password lock on it. Jeremy decided (out loud) that he was going to be sneaky and create a password for it.
He started messing around with it, and shortly I grabbed it back from him. Even though he only had it for a few seconds, it looked like he had done something to the OS. When I looked in the bottom left corner, it had a little official text logo saying "Windows 2.3" (though the interface was still visually similar to Windows 95-Windows 7).

Sith encounter on the orc farm
In some kind of cross between WoW and Star Wars, I was walking through some semi-arid farming territory once owned by humans, but now taken over by orcs. I walked up close to a medium-size crop field where an orc on a ridiculously small (like, clown car sized) harvester was rolling through and gathering up spinach.
To the side of this field, I encountered three sith figures wearing cloaks with hoods, standing side by side and sort of blocking my way. It was clear that I had come to talk to them. The middle one was Palpatine, the one on the right may have been Anakin Skywalker, but I can't remember. I didn't realize it at first, but the one on the left (who I stared at for a few seconds because I could swear there was a little face carved into his big, dark chin) turned out to be Darth Maul.
In any case, this encounter turned out to be mostly for show, as one of the two on the outside suddenly drew his lightsaber and immediately killed Palpatine.

They seize me when I'm sleeping...
