Random Thought #78912789243



Anybody else out there remember Zork? Damn that was a sweet game. My boy Matt the Hatt and I spent many hours playing that game in junior high, drawing maps of the Zorkworld and trying out different ways to get all those freaking treasures.

After you read that paragraph, it should come as no surprise that in junior high I wasn't exactly a "ladies' man." And the fact that I still pine for Zork should make it no surprise that I have never really been a "ladies' man." Actually, I believe you kids today call it "being a player." Or is it "playa'?" No, that can't be right. "Playa" means beach in Spanish.

But I digress. I don't think we ever did solve Zork in its entirity. That asshole thief kept on stealing our shit and killing us.

Sure Matt and I weren't at the Galaxy Movie Theater every night chasing girls that wouldn't like us anyway, like some of our peers were. But still, there were and are worse computer games out there to burn your off your childhood.
