Text and browser-based MMORPGs, although I'm not quite addicted. I could give up any time I wanted.
Text based RPGs.... :31::52:
Oh god NOOOOOOO!!!!!!
I HATE THEM!!!! I HATE THEM WITH THE BURNING INTENSITY OF A THOUSAND SUNS!!!
I played one this one time. I was trapped in some sort of room with restraints on (Tkl rpg, you know the drill), and had to enter commands like "Use hands" or "Open Door" or "Move Forward" to advance the game. Anyways, the context was crystal clear, and I knew exactly what the game wanted me to do.
I JUST DIDN'T KNOW HOW IT WANTED ME TO FUCKING SAY IT!!!
I got out of the restraints after 10 minutes of faffing about, and the game none too subtly mentions that the stairs are the only visible exit, and pretty much tells me to go that way.
I knew exactly what I had to do. I had to go up the stairs.
BUT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW THE GAME WANTED ME TO FUCKING SAY IT!!!!
I HAD TO HAVE SPENT 45 MINUTES TYPING 79 DIFFERENT WAYS OF SAYING "GO UP THE FUCKING STAIRS!".
Then, after 45 minutes of being fucked with, I finally... You know what... No.. I'm gonna do this flashback style:
ME: *Spends 45 minutes trying to get dippy m'gee to go up the stairs*
GAME: *Continually says "You must enter a command" *
ME: (talking to screen)
I KNOW THAT!!! YOU WONT FUCKING ACCEPT ANYTHING!!!
ME: *Types "GO UP THE FUCKING STAIRS" *
ME: "Maybe It'll understand that.
😛issed"
*Presses Enter*
GAME: "Heroes don't use that kind of language!"
ME: hxxp://www.youtube.com/watch?v =oghBXKHWcyw
