There is a game called NetHack. It consists of plenty of ASCII symbols and is probably one of the most difficult games in the world, especially during new moons. The avatar depicts a mob of monsters capable of eating surrounding a lich. Hence, "Eat the Lich!" In reality, it would be difficult to do that because the ring of conflict would probably cause the monsters to attack each other first, but they could be pets. :lol:

Wow, that sounds... Interesting. Speaking of difficult games, have you heard of QWOP?

Now I have. Interestingly enough, it seems close to what I really do think when walking.

Have you heard of Dwarf Fortress?

Lol! Yes it's a rather awkward game. And no, I haven't.

In Dwarf Fortress, the motto is, "Losing is fun!" because there is no true end to the insanity. Unfortunately, the next update has not been released for what is approaching ten months despite the amount of work the programmer (singular) does. Basically it is about managing a whole town of mad idiots and trying to get them to do something interesting like create floods of magma, create immense catacombs, create rudimentary computers, or a toy factory.

That reminds me of:
1) The "Last one to post loses" thread.
2) The Sims.
3) The one scene in Portal 2 where Wheatley is trying to get those turret-cube things to put themselves on the buttons. (What an idiot.)

Rage comics: making you realize that you're more normal than you think.

If I had the drama I associated with most internet users on other sites, I would be saying, "LOLZ MYE YES!! ! [sic]" without the [sic] after seeing a few rage comics. They really do make me feel normal (in comparison).
