Nethack 3.4.0 is out!
Nethack is one of my all-time favorite games, one I’ve been playing since 1200 baud was smokin’ fast.
I think it’s one of those things, like Kibology, that you either get, or you don’t.
If you get it, well, go get it!
Thought for today:

“Genuine peace between nations will come from mutual respect. Not from weapons or force”

One of the things I’ve liked the most about having this website is the community that has come together, and steadily grown since the launch last August. I have always enjoyed reading and participating in the debates and discussions that we’ve had, because we have always conducted ourselves with maturity and dignity, even when we vehemently disagree.
However, it seems like we’ve attracted quite a few trolls and their ilk here, in the last few weeks, and the level of the conversation has really suffered. That cool community of thoughtful, independent thinkers has been simply over-run with the lowest common denominator.
So, until the new version of MT comes out, I’m turning comments off. Sorry that it’s come to this, but version 2.0 has a “registration” feature, which will hopefully cut down on the assholes.
As always, everyone is encouraged to comment in the new and improved soapbox.

Good morning, and happy first monday in March!
Over the weekend, I recorded some dialogue for the newest installment of Farkman, and it’s online and ready to go! The whole thing is really funny, and I’m in panel 3. The discussion at FARK is here.

I brought home a Game Cube from work this weekend, for the kids to play.
Yeah, right. For the kids to play.
A few weeks ago, I brought a PS2 home, also for the kids to play.
You’re not buying this, are you?
Well, maybe I did stay up until 4AM playing GTA3, but that was just because…ah…I wanted to make sure that it wasn’t appropriate for the kids.
Yeah, that’s it.
So this weekend, I brought home the same games that I did last time, but on the different platform: FIFA 2002, Madden 2002, Crazy Taxi and Tony Hawk 3. I also brought home Pickmin, which the kids are currently playing behind me…that music really creeps me out.
I think that the graphics and game play in all of those games is far superior to the PS2, and the load times are certainly a lot slower…and PS2 does have those anti-social, right-wing-panty-knotting games from Rockstar…
Which brings me to my question for you, dear readers: PS2 or Game Cube? GC is cheaper, smaller, and the graphics seem to be better, but PS2 seems to have more “mature” (read: cooler) games.
Discuss.
