No. They don't. I've been playing Roguelikes for ages, and I still find the ones with built-in user-unfriendliness incredibly irritating. I think it's beacuse you have to memorise a whole new set of flipping controls each time, even though most of the Roguelikes have the same or similar...
Umm... being in the dark? No, wait... that's pretty rational, I reckon... I've read lots of stuff on aliens and anomalies... and there's far too much of them for them to all be fake. And they usually happen at night.
Er... how about falling down? Oh, wait again... I'm unco, so that's...
Let's do some of our own... um...
Whatermelon: A large green fruit that is hard of hearing.
Englisp: Like English, but with more spittle.
Argusent: A debate carried via the postal system.
Oh, I remember playing it ages ago on an older computer... it was good then, I'll admit. User interfaces were just evolving then.

Foamy the Squirrel... funny. Damn funny. "Kevorkian Scarf" and "Nuts To You" are particularly good.
Didn't find anything in a...
Depends on the setting and the mood. Fast zombies are good for frenetic, heart-pounding, panicky horror movies, slowbies are good for tense, feel-the-dread, OMG-they're all-around-us horror movies.
And I see that this thread is a great way to pick out those forum members that don't actually...
Ah. Jehovah's Witnesses...
Well, you see, I have this almost illegally real-looking cap rifle...
We recently developed an infestation of JWs in our suburb. As well as a Mormon nest. Thankfully, the council saw to it that they were situated right next to each other.
Hopefully, they'll...
- I have a minor addiction to Vick's vaporwhatsit sniffy things.
- The largest part of my diet these holidays has consisted of sugary things and the sort of savoury snack that comes in a small crinkly plastic bag.
- I always take the barbeque shapes straight to my room these days, meaning I...
Right click while holding down the left mousebutton.
And if your eyes are troubled by the pixelisation shader the game uses, just turn it off in the options menu.
By the heat death of the universe. I think that's what you'd call it. According to cosmic theory, eventually everything will sorta just go "BBBEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOoooooooooo..." like a generator running down. Or something.
