Crocodile Dundee was on last night.  Naturally, as a good Aussie, I considered it my duty to tape it and study it at length.  (Alright, to get mashed and giggle at the seminal Hogan-led ridiculousness).  Now, its been a ... http://bafflegab.org/?p=204 Nethack is one of a very few games to which I return perennially.  I've been playing it on and off for at least five years and I think it's because of my playing style.  I tend, when playing games for which it is an option, to be an explorationist gamer.  ... http://bafflegab.org/?p=202 Hark, for the video-game muse is upon me.  (She is Consoliope, and she is quick to anger for her attention is ever-divided.)
