Ah, memories of the FFVII demo, and how I decided it was NOT for me.

Someone doing standup in the Nethack realm is an interesting idea - maybe there is more to come tomorrow? "I just teleported in from Vegas, and boy is my spellcasting arm tired. But seriously, ladies and gnomes, what is up with all these cursed items around the dungeon - take this heavy iron ball"You are fettered, " said Scrooge, trembling. "Tell me why?" "I wear the chain I forged in life," replied the Ghost. "I made it link by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it. Is its pattern strange to you?" Scrooge trembled more and more. "Or would you know," pursued the Ghost, "the weight and length of the strong coil you bear yourself? It was full as heavy and as long as this, seven Christmas Eves ago. You have laboured on it, since. It is a ponderous chain!"

Oh yes!!!! Love this. It hits home! I can't even stand the 4-second animation as it is, especially on the fire astral plane.

Rose: add "nosparkle" to your defaults.nh. Mantar: I still want to know why, if it's called Final Fantasy, they keep making sequels?

'bit of a historical fnord there, rpresser. When the entity once named Squaresoft was developing the game, they where all but in the tank, and the game was expected to be the company's last project, so it was given that name. However, it was a hit in Japan, and even did rather well in the states for an RPG at the time. Thus the company survived to make sequels to the game that saved them.

Hmm. Not bad, but wouldn't it be better with either no silent panel, or the silent panel after the rimshot? Or anotherjoke in the fourth panel about music?

I think I've decided (how's that for being sure of myself) that using NetHack objects in Non-NetHack situations humors me. I fully appreciate that the drumMany travelers have seen the drums of the great apes, and some have heard the sounds of their beating and the noise of the wild, weird revelry of these first lords of the jungle, but Tarzan, Lord Greystoke, is, doubtless, the only human being who ever joined in the fierce, mad, intoxicating revel of the Dum-Dum.

This made me laugh. But is there some specific reason why the drummer is a gnome... And then a gnome came by, carrying a bundle, an old fellow three times as large as an imp and wearing clothes of a sort, especially a hat. And he was clearly just as frightened as the imps though he could not go so fast. Ramon Alonzo saw that there must be some great trouble that was vexing magical things; and, since gnomes speak the language of men, and will answer if spoken to gently, he raised his hat, and asked of the gnome his name. The gnome did not stop his hasty shuffle a moment as he answered 'Alaraba' and grabbed the rim of his hat but forgot to doff it. 'What is the trouble, Alaraba?' said Ramon Alonzo. 'White magic. Run!' said the gnome .. [ The Charwoman's Shadow, by Lord Dunsany ] "Muggles have garden gnomes, too, you know," Harry told Ron as they crossed the lawn. "Yeah, I've seen those things they think are gnomes," said Ron, bent double with his head in a peony bush, "like fat little Santa Clauses with fishing rods..." There was a violent scuffling noise, the peony bush shuddered, and Ron straightened up. "This is a gnome," he said grimly. "Geroff me! Gerroff me!" squealed the gnome. It was certainly nothing like Santa Claus. It was small and leathery looking, with a large, knobby, bald head exactly like a potato. Ron held it at arm's length as it kicked out at him with its horny little feet; he grasped it around the ankles and turned it upside down. [ Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, by J. K.

Grey KnightHere lies the noble fearless knight, Whose valour rose to such a height; When Death at last had struck him down, His was the victory and renown. He reck'd the world of little prize, And was a bugbear in men's eyes; But had the fortune in his age To live a fool and die a sage.
