    GameBoy Evolution

    Seems to me that the DS and the break could have brought new technologies to aid in the miniaturisation, too.

    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...

    Do you have any irrational fears?

    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...

    I think he's talking about not being able to understand how some graffiti got onto an inaccessible wall.

    Nethack

    Oh, I remember playing it ages ago on an older computer... it was good then, I'll admit. User interfaces were just evolving then. But now, it's like a... masochist's game. It's open source, isn't it? No. 1546 on my list of Things To Do: Improve the ease of use of Nethack.

    Psychotic squirrel fun!

    Funny. But that Newground site is a pain in the credenza.

    Nethack

    Damn. I know that this game is revered as the "Son of Rogue" and all... but... well, damn, it's like whoever programmed it never heard of user-friendliness. At least give me some keyboard shortcuts that make sense, and some clickable buttons. "Oh, and Mr Game? Me running up against a door...

    Psychotic squirrel fun!

    Found some cool flash toons (Warning: cartoon gore and explicit language... also bad for those with a laugh allergy): http://www.illwillpress.com/vault.html Foamy the Squirrel... funny. Damn funny. "Kevorkian Scarf" and "Nuts To You" are particularly good. Didn't find anything in a...

    Fast Zombies vs. Slow Zombies

    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...

    Jehovahs Witness'

    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...

    Things you usually don't tell anyone

    - 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...

    Darwinia

    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.

    How do you want to die?

    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.
