One of the funniest things I've read recently. Be sure to check out what's going on in the background windows that are popping up. YOu'll know 'em when you see 'em.
By the way, this is really not safe for work and the langauge gets....rough. But funny....

That was pretty dumb. I expected it to be a video of a real modern gamer playing a text adventure, but instead I get something rather stupid.
None of those commands would even be accepted in an old PC text game. They're too specific.

Someone really ought to make a modern text adventure with better command recognition.

Reminiscent of Gold Key. But Gold Key was so much more subtle.

I lost it somewhere around "Ok, now they have their tops off, and are totally doing it all over your registry"
LOL
