Text-Based Games, and Lower End Games...

People who think text-based games are dead
should really spend 30 seconds
with Google. :smt047

lol... then try semi-animated games... :D


Most of the world's 7 billion people can only hope to be so lucky
as to own a halfway decent computer. ;)

Bing is an utter piece. It freezes my browser when I try to load a video.

Bing and Google are pretty much the same thing

On topic, text based games can be good. But they still need some extra factor that makes them worth playing

Re: Text-Based Games, and Lower End Games...

some (many) months ago, microsoft tried messing with our browser through windows update and forcing us to use their trash, commonly known as "bing". It took us quite some time to pull that weed up with all its roots...

"Great holy armies shall be gathered and trained to fight all who embrace evil. In the name of the gods, Browsers shall be changed to carry the internet out amongst the peoples and we will spread Firefox to all the unbelievers. The power of the Firefox will be felt far and wide and the wicked users of IE shall be converted to use the true browsers."

Curious about our color? Feel free to ask...
