I want to hug both of you for this thread. If I had any sewing ability whatsoever, I would begin work on a plush Weighted Companion Brass Lantern this very moment!

I know you probably hate "sluts" because you're bitter that no one in real life will look at you twice, and you assume it's because you're ugly, fat, etc. But no, the reason no one's ever been interested in you romantically or sexually is because you're obnoxiously insecure and generally just a really shitty person. Work on your hideous personality and people might actually be able to stand hanging around you for more than five minutes at a time.

Grand Inquisitor doesn't seem to be in here (http://www.gog.com/en/catalogue#all_genres/search/zork/), but it's a start?
Btw, I've never played the games but I'd like to... should I start from Zork 1 and then... what? Or are there better entry points to the series?

(and gosh, i was going for a Myst icon ~~as they're all I have~~, but... your username. *stares* It is pretty.)

Glad you found your game to enjoy and hoping you'll find more! I'm sure that there are more than enough talented small developers to pick one's interest even when the industry as a whole disappoints :)

A bit late, but -- my boyfriend and I are of the opinion that season 6 is Fandom Appreciation Year. It's so very fanfic, so much of it. (Although 6.20 did go a long way towards stitching the season into something coherent.)

Ghost Trick secret! :D Cabanela secret! :DDD

(...oh, so that's how that trope is named. Good to know.)

To be honest, I think that Grand Inquisitor is the ideal starting point to the series... The earliest games are type-based and a lot of fun, but there is just something about the combination of fabulous storyline, clever and complex gameplay, and nice graphics (for 1997) that makes it my favorite Zork game by a wide margin. It was also the adventure game that defined my whole childhood, so I may be a little biased...

If you like Myst, you run, not walk, and get yourself in a moving vehicle tostart looking for Zork Grand Inquisitor immediately! I would describe the game as "Myst, but with a wacky sense of humor" which lapses into teasing of D&D geekery, and with touches of Terry Pratchett-type genius. People have compared it to Monkey Island, as well. Some things you will get to do include: bypassing a security system by getting it drunk, fight the evil government by committing random acts of arson, and shove an inflatable raft up a dragon's nose. If I remember correctly, there is also a way to die that gets you exiled to "a terrible place called New Jersey."

This should help you install it on a modern system:
- http://www.thezorklibrary.com/installguides/zgi-win.html
- http://www.amazon.com/Zork-Grand-Inquisitor-Pc/dp/B00001QHYE

Will do, will do! Definitely looking forward to getting a security system drunk. Thanks a lot for the links and geekery! :D

I'm a rabid Myst stan, actually, but I can do humour despite my 6 favourite games being all srsbsns and not having a single joke in them. I've just finished Monkey Island and Grim Fandango for the first time and loved them! Pratchett is always a good sign and so is D&D. Yay!

(http://tinypic.com?ref=2s639jn)

I absolutely LOVE recommending things I adore to cool people! I hope you have an absolute blast. :3

It seems like everyone thought we were alone in our Zork nerddom! But judging by this thread, there are at least five of us on the wide seas of the internets. :D

Will do! Thaaaanks again! It's endearing to see so much love for such an old game :)
(

...and a blast was had.)

Oh so what about the people who have been through the trauma and that is why they get off to it? your point is moot you fucking retard. go die please

I got a death threat! Does this mean I'm famous? *anon is scared OP might be serious*

I ask you to reread my second paragraph, which explains that just because plenty of sfd_anoners are just trolling when they comment in other places, it doesn't mean there aren't also those who are arguing in earnest.

To your last paragraph: yes, I agree with that. But I have honestly seen people (mostly people on [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]) complain that warning for dubcon and noncon is kinkshaming, so that's where I'm coming from.

2/10

you couldn't even pretend you'd actually read the secret

This.

I applaud your taste, OP, and I don't think that finding somebody older than you attractive is creepy! My first major crush was on Anthony Hopkins - who's the same age as my grandparents :)

YOUR SWORD'S BLOWING GLUE!
I always liked the bridge guy. Always wondered what he looked like.
Oh man, have totally just ordered a new copy from Amazon. Now to sit by my pigeonhole like some oversized vulture ready to accost the postman!

(You may want to check out the live-action DN movies, for a different take on his death; that would be more to your liking.)

Considering he was crying for his minions to bail him out earlier, I think he could have used some comfort. He didn't realize how much he took them for granted, and came to rely on them. Light felt the terror of death that any other human could. But I think it was a lesson for him, to experience what he condemned countless victims to.

The anime does a good job of showing him as reduced to a lost, lonely young man there; reinforcing it with flashback of his former self.

Sorry for taking a while to get back to you- sibling's graduation was yesterday, kind of took up a lot of time.

Not what I said, or what I was even implying. I know, I know, intent isn't magic and you can't read my implications, so here we go: what was implied here was that in my experience, and this is just my experience, people in my fandoms have been sensible enough to follow the necessary traditions. In the wider sampling I see from F!S, people also seem to be sensible enough to follow necessary traditions.

See, I find a flaw in this argument, right there. Namely, if people were following the necessary traditions, we probably wouldn't get secrets from people so frequently about when they don't. Maybe some of them are trolling or wank-baiting. But a fair number of them probably are not. And dismissing every single one as a troll is, to me, very lazy. As long as we dismiss every expressed grievance as trolling, we don't have to think about how to do things differently, or even better, to make fandom more fun and inclusive for everyone. And I think fandom should be more inclusive and fun for everyone, because I don't believe in having societal cross sections where people are made to feel unwelcome. (There are exceptions to this- highly specialized spaces geared towards providing sanctuary for women, PoC, trans people, intersexed people, genderqueer people, gays, lesbians, people with disabilities, etc., might be a little exclusive of people with more privilege. But these spaces aren't the same as general fandom, where the requirement to get in is "liking this particular bit of media.")

It is a little weird and interesting to me how very much people (like yourself) do end up caring about people's delicate personal feelings and willing to place faith in their proclaimed identities, but that's another tangent.

Here's where it's going to get a little real, and a little awful.

When I was in high school, one of my close friends was raped by her boyfriend. She told me. And I didn't believe her. I didn't want to believe her, because he was my friend, too, and I didn't want to believe he would do something like that.

Years later, I know now that it was true. That he did. And not just to her, to other women we knew.

Not believing her not only destroyed my friendship with her, but made her life a living hell for a long time. And I was part of that.

I don't ever want to be that person again. I don't ever want to hurt another person like that again.

So, when people tell me about their terrible experiences with trauma and/or oppression? I believe them. It costs me nothing, and might make life for a person in pain just the tiniest bit better.

'Cause the world can be a hard, painful, scary place. And it doesn't get better by writing off every complaint as made up.

Man, I feel like I've been enabling gamers left and right on this thread. SUCCESS! I hope you have a great time when it arrives. :)

If someone is in earnest when they say shit like "you sound white", dogpile someone for a perceived slight, or honestly believe hateful behavior on the basis of something someone can't control is a good and right thing, then they are a fucking douchenozzle and they are worse than a troll, honestly.

I mean, reasoned discussion is great. I like what we're doing now, and if you are from sfda yourself I bear you no ill will, because clearly you're not here to perpetuate the above horseshit. Said horseshit, however, has become the memetic mark of the sfda community.

Is that from the same episode with the creepy zombie!pilot that gets sliced in half? That was a very creepy/mindscrew-y episode.

...Um yeah, I've got nothing else to add.

Nah, it was the end iof the ep where they destroyed the Earth Base. But the ep you're talking about was creepy as hell. Especially the worker mob chanting "KILL HIM!"

I was just about to look for that. Thanks for doing the work for me. XD
