Everything looks SO boring now.

NetHack is plenty exciting when you can see straight.

I like this one! Granted, the beginning is funnier than the end, but it works with the hallucination mechanic.
#2	DrSunglass	Wed, 1 Apr 2009 03:05:02
This should be in NetHack if it isn't already. I demand a patch!
#3	TobyBartels	Wed, 1 Apr 2009 05:45:49
E for Exciting (and for the space station).
#4	eskimo68	Wed, 1 Apr 2009 06:00:12
The space station was good :)
#5	progo	Wed, 1 Apr 2009 08:06:53
I like the widescreen.
#6	anther	Wed, 1 Apr 2009 19:26:51
Ah, hallucination would be so much fun if it weren't so annoying.
#7	Quint	Wed, 1 Apr 2009 21:17:50
What does the first panel mean?
#8	ais523	Wed, 1 Apr 2009 22:38:43
@Quint: it's basically what happens when you try to write a computer program and mess up, there are lots of errors there. Presumably it's Dudley's controller's day job.
#9	NobodySpecial	Wed, 1 Apr 2009 23:10:30
To be specific, they're error messages emitted by GCC. It seems to me appropriate that Dudley should work as a C programmer because of NetHack's Unix C background. Oh, and for what it's worth, "Happy Thursday" is a Winnie-the-Pooh reference.

There should SO be a class called "Stoner" that starts the game hallucinating, and only survives on eating yellow molds and purple funghi.

E for comments, especially Sorceror's.

E for the Klingon hairdresser, space station & protractor!
