Smart fortune cookie. Except it didn't say which one, and now instead of choosing one of 500 games, you have to choose one of 11 or so with Zork in the title.
While you hesitate, you are likely to be eaten by a grue, so it doesn't really matter anyway.
Well I have:
-Zork
-Zork 2
-Zork 3
-Zork Zero
-Beyond Zork
-Return to Zork
-Zork Nemesis
-Zork Grand Inquisitor
That narrows it down to 8.
I think it would make sense to tackle the games in some logical order.
I have played the original Zork several times, but never seriously.
I gather that I should print out a map, and gets some notepaper if I'm ever going to complete it!
The other games, I haven't even touched. (Though I'm planning to!)
EDIT: I just wished I had the appropriate adventuring hat...
Hmmm... 400 MS points sitting around... Rain, Kenshi, or wait for Freddy? (actually, Rain or Kenshi, because I'm an impatient bastard, as badly as I want Freddy)
I just can't stop laughing. Just thinking about Max's expression as he says to Tycho "Are you asking me if I ever schtupped Momma Bosco?" makes me laugh uncontrollably.
I know. I don't even know how to guide you or advise you, so all I can say is this: nod politely and take their money when the chance presents itself. Do the whole thing while drunk, if at all possible.
I only just got round to watching Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog the other day, loved it and so watched it again last night. Now I've got a parts of the songs going through my head which is no bad thing really. Just can't believe it's taken me this long to actually watch it.
The company I went to will install a telephone line in my place on the 10th so they can later activate the Internet. They said it would take several more days before I actually had a connexion once they've done their thing.
The good news is that there is also a phone line with free calls to North America. The bad news is that it's so small and a former house turned into 5 apartments... So you can hear people talk from the other apartments, and my neighbours might get annoyed with me if I'm constantly on the phone.
Sure the English is a bit dodgy, and by todays' standards, the picture quality is quite bad, (though its mostly due to a lack of restoration applied to it), but the premise, the animation and effects (which considering its the 80s, its very, very good!), the plot, (which plays on the greek mythology, but isn't afraid to do its own thing.)
The best parts have to be the soundtrack and the art-style.
It uses that old-style, unexaggerated anime, combined with a sort of painted-looking backdrops.
Plus Ulysees is a total badass!!
I mean the guy has a laser sword that doubles as a gun, a energy shield, and a belt activated jetpack, and he fights giant robots.
The thing about 80s cartoons I like, is how dark they can get.
They weren't afraid to include violence and death, or implement a bit of fridge horror and just plain Nightmare Fuel!
(Like the scene in the second episode where there are loads of frozen Zotrians. But then you see their shadows still moving. Still running away in fear!)
As I stand here acting as the piper at the gates of dawn, upon the dark side of the moon, all I can say is that I wish you were here my good friend Mr. Ummagumma.
I did. Repeatedly. Then you went and watched Battlestar Galactica again.
Humph!
Next you'll claim that Dash did, too! Well, I don't believe it. As sure as I bought that ingrate a Ramune. Comrade Mortis was the first to suggest it and it changed my life. Srsly.

I knew I should have taken pictures of all those messages! This is what happens when I get to comfortable: I stop keeping good records of my movements. From now on, all your communications are recorded, so that I'll have proof for the future.

Fear the elephants, for they rule our puny minds by utilising their evil powers of corruption in combination with their far away gaze of oppression! Hail them, for they are a-coming; like a mighty stamped of grey, leathery overlords, reeking havoc upon us unsuspecting mortals.
Heed my words man-child, for before long; it shall be too late.
The Tremendous Trunk of Terror awaits the judgement of your flesh.
Alright, I'll see your Nixon thread and raise you THIS:
Also, I'd like to point out that it's kind of Ironic how you're a full-fledged communist and yet your avatar is the image of one of the most infamous "red hunters" in American history.

I guess my flaming Max hat will have to do.
GAMEFACE!!
Never grow up! Take the second star to the right and straight on til morning! That's the only way to do things!
I'm pretty sure that's the route to hell.
It's one hell of a route though.
And it leads to one hell of a place.

I thought we were discussing Route 666.
I did. Repeatedly. Then you went and watched Battlestar Galactica again.
Humph!
It's the route to Never Never Land! After you get the pixie dust, that is.

You deserve my Nixon avatar.
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!
lololol
Like, totally.
Why, yes sir; it absolutely is.
You know what, that's one hell of a thread idea...
Yertle the Turtle in the style of Der Untergang.
I'm literally close to the middle of no where. I have to drive miles and miles just to use the internet , but there is a toilet inside the house.
