    Default Punk-Ass Modern Gamer Plays An Old-School Text Adventure

    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.

    I was getting a good chuckle out of it until the IM window popped up. Then I lost it.

    A MAC user would totally click ok.
    Fear your thoughts because they become your words
    Fear your words because they become your actions
    Fear your actions because they become your habits
    Fear your habits because they become your character
    Fear your character because it becomes your destiny

    Therefore: Thinking and nurturing positive thoughts, at any point in your life, can change your destiny.

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