I've been playing Kingdom of Loathing a little lately, thanks to the efforts of Nik going on about it. It's fun but I run out of adventures too quickly and end up falling-down drunk. In the game.
Between that and the rapidly approaching next release of dwarf fortress I'm getting the urge to play nethack. Again.
Playing nethack is like playing that game where you stab between your fingers with a knife and you try and do it quickly. You always end up stabbing yourself. Sometimes you think 'oh man, this time I'm not going to stab myself' and then you stab yourself. Right as you think that. Sometimes you stab yourself on your first go. And then you look up and it's morning and you've got a hand all stabbed to hell and wondering where all the time went. So I'm not going to play nethack. I'm not going to play nethack.
I wonder if I can find my old version of it with my old high scores.
