1337ness comes from within, man. It's mind over matter. n00bness has nothing to do with posts. Forget the material things; you stop being n00bful once your attitude stops being n00bful.

Mmm...prune juice. I mean, seriously. Back in my day we had to walk five miles just to get to General, and you had to have your avatar strapped to your back, and those were heavy, and by God, we took black marks seriously in those days. Not like you namby-pamby no-good spammers these days, posting whatever you feel whenever you feel it. And we respected our elder topics. We didn't just send 'em off to the slaughterhouse the way things are now. We had class, by God. And good grief, will someone empty my bedpan? EDIT: And when we told our post editors to make italics, they made italics. We didn't have to go back and fix them all the time by putting the 'i's in brackets, mon dieu.

Buy Exile III. It's much more classic-looking without being too confusing or archaic. It's kind of more pleasantly traditional, and gives more the impression of the medieval environment it's kind of based after. Plus, it's a lot more vibrant and has more character than Avernum seems to. -------------------- Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck.

On marimba/xylophone, my favorite things to play are either the orchestral version of The Who's Tommy<, or Variations on a Korean Folk Song. Malanguena's cool too. I don't really have a least favorite, sop that I am. :P On timpani, Mahler's 5th is fun. Sadly enough, I really don't like that one thing from the Rocky Horror Picture Show that's so famous (or maybe it's Little Shop of Horrors, I get them mixed up). On piano, 'Winter Wonderland' and 'Tell Me on a Sunday' and all the other good show tunes are my faves. The Maple Leaf Rag is fun too. There's not really much I don't like to play there either. 'Hey Jude' gets a little old after a while. I like playing Beethoven and Liszt, but I haven't gotten any new music in a while. On bass, 'The Elephant' from Carnival of the Animals, 'Dance of the Furies' from Oedipus and Euridice or something, the overture from 'The Meistersingers', 'Allegro' by Bach (I think, maybe it's Handel), and 'Failing' by Tom Johnson, even though it's impossible, are my favorites. 'Symphonie Fantastique' by Berlioz gets on my nerves the most. Bahh. I'm really not showing off. Hoorah for instrumentalists! EDIT: The italics weren't working properly.

This site pretty well sums it up. But personally, I believe the Maya, who say the world will end on December 21, 2012.

Exile II, and I'd be Erika. Except for the minor inconvenience of having to become a woman (all in a day's work), it's be fun to be insanely powerful and do all sorts of cool experiments, yet not really accomplish anything until the end of the game a few times. -------------------- Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck.

With a billion dollars, I would raze and rebuild the local high school from its current state as a low-lit cockroach paradise, buy a vibraphone, get a MiniCooper, add another story onto the house, and donate a hefty amount to the United Way, the Heifer Project, and epidemic and space/physics research. Then I'd buy Mount Washington, set up a wind farm, and live in a little tethered-down hut, equippied with only the barest necessities of life and something completely impractical, expensive, and really cool, like a combination cheesecake maker, life raft, and Hoover vaccuum cleaner, or something, just because I'd be rich and bloody well could. Atop the mountain, I would distribute electrical power and profound philosophical advice to the poor peasants on the steppes below. The copious amounts of money left over would be stashed away for my Presidential Campaign in 2024, provided the Mayan predictions that the world will end on December 21st, 2012 don't come true. Vote Thomas for President in 2024!

The Humuhumunukunukuapua'a is a kind of Hawaiian fish, the fish known as being smaller than its name. But that actually doesn't look very long. In German, Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitaenskajuetenklinenputzergehilf. I think it means "the captain of a steamboat on the Danube River", with some other stuff thrown in. EDIT: Turns out I didn't need to toss in hyphens after all.

It might be a better idea to start with one of the Exiles first. I grew up on Exile II. It's pretty much obligatory to have at least played some of the classic Exiles in order to be a successful Spiderwebber and they really are a huge deal of fun. Even though theoretically Exile and Avernum are pretty close to the same, the differences in interface make them seem completely different. It's really neat to play Exile first and then see how it evolved into Avernum. Plus, Exile seems a lot more magical and fantasy-like than Avernum because of its more vivid, manuscript-esque graphics. -------------------- Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck.

Hey, Myst is an acquired taste. For example, it's pretty much everything most action games aren't. But look at Myst I. It was made in 1994, but has beautiful graphics ahead of their time and is incredibly intricate and well-programmed for back then. It's also really great gameplay if you're willing to sit down and think through stuff for a while, and maybe take a few notes. It sounds like a geek game, and it definitely takes a little while to beat, but there's plenty of really cool stuff to do and experiment with, and it's really exhilerating to beat (even though there's not really an ending). When I first played it, I got fed up after about 5 hours. Then a few weeks later, I went back and tried playing it again, and realized that I was taking completely the wrong attitude with it, and that you had to close the door to the elevator in the library before it went anywhere. Then I started really using my mind and seeing how things changed in the game, and it became really cool. Plus, once you've beaten it once, you can, quite literally, beat the entire game in 3 minutes. Kind of a slap-yourself-on-the-forehead thing, which is much more ironic than frustrating. I will say the ending is kind of an anticlimax. But if the original Myst was so much fun, the following ones must be pretty good too. EDIT: Oh yeah. For the worst game, I'll say Ocean Bound, but that's kind of a given. Toxic Ravine gets old really fast.
