Hasn't anyone else played Hitch-hikers guide"Rincewind!" Twoflower sprang off the bed. The wizard jumped back, wrenching his features into a smile. "My dear chap, right on time! We'll just have lunch, and then I'm sure you've got a wonderful programme lined up for this afternoon!" "Er --" "That's great!" Rincewind took a deep breath. "Look," he said desperately, "let's eat somewhere else. There's been a bit of a fight down below." "A tavern brawl? Why didn't you wake me up?" "Well, you see, I - _what_?" "I thought I made myself clear this morning, Rincewind. I want to see genuine Morporkian life - the slave market, the Whore Pits, the Temple of Small Gods, the Beggar's Guild... and a genuine tavern brawl." A faint note of suspicion entered Twoflower's voice. "You _do_ have them, don't you? You know, people swinging on chandeliers, swordfights over the table, the sort of thing Hrun the Barbarian and the Weasel are always getting involved in. You know -- _excitement_."

You must wield both tea and no tea to convince the doorThrough me you pass into the city of woe: Through me you pass into eternal pain: Through me among the people lost for aye. Justice the founder of my fabric mov'd: To rear me was the task of power divine, Supremest wisdom, and primeval love. Before me things create were none, save things Eternal, and eternal I endure.

Only by wielding both 'tea', and 'no tea' can you prove that you are indeed a sentient life-form. If you lose 'no tea' (by dropping, selling, etc), is there any way to replace 'no tea'? If so, how does that work (meta)physically? Keep an open mind. - Silicon Viper / WhatTheFork.org

I've never played the Hitchhiker's game, but I've read the 5-book (ha) trilogy. I THOUGHT it sounded a little Hitchhiker-y when I first looked at it... =)

However, I could never work out how to remove my common sense particle so that I could hold "tea" and "no tea" at the same time.... (yeah, this makes it 4 ^_~)

References can be great and all, but there's really no reason to rate a comic excellent if there's no joke based on that reference. Anybody could cheaply get an audience to like his strip simply by doing some reference to a little known thing, and all of a sudden, BAM! "OMG, he remembered something I've heard of! EXCELENTZORLOL!" References are only funny if you make them that way.

Of course people think it's funny just because someone references something they've heard of. That's why Family Guy is still on.

This is good. I never played the game but I have read the books, and they are brilliant. Still haven't been able to learn to fly though :(
