NetHack (DS)
Mar 26th
Oh, for goodness sake. Twice this lunchtime I died because I hadn’t noticed I was hungry and fainted during fights with gnomes.

I drank from a fountain, because I’ve just discovered the drink command.
It unleashed a water demon, who killed me dead.
Oh.

There are two versions of this out for the DS. One is unplayable due to using a tiny, unreadable font, but the other works very well. Can’t seem to name my pet, but not had any problems apart from that.
Keep dying very early though, oddly. Once because my pet dog tripped a bouder release switch, squishing me. Thanks for that, puppy.

Inspired by Shiren I decided to play NetHack. I’ve played enough ZAngbandTk to make it easy enough to step into, but it’s quite different. No town, for starters. And you start with a pet – which inevitably dies or goes missing, leaving you feeling guilt-ridden and sad for the rest of the game. Hooray? I’ve also been killed twice for kicking down doors – once by some watchmen and once by an irate shop keeper. I didn’t know it was a shop door! Harumph.
Great fun, anyway – even it did take me about fifteen minutes of Google searching just to work out how to blow a whistle.
