zork? dork.

tonight on big bang theory sheldon was playing a text based computer game, probably zork. i googled it and learned you can download zork and install it on your pc or mac - right now today. i almost downloaded the zip file but then i was like, what the hell are you doing ace? downloading a zip executable from an unknown source? gonna just pop it open there on the ol' netbook? why'nt you just throw the computer down the stairs and give it a quick death instead of making it suffer with a virus?

back in the day we had some sort of text based game on the trs-80. zork, colossal cave, something. probably zork. anyway, the point is that i played it once, didn't finish the round, and found it both boring and complicated - a bad combination. would i find it more fun now? doubtful. it's not like i was thinking, hey - i would sure like to play a round of zork! no. i saw sheldon playing it and i was all, hey - i would sure like to be like sheldon!

who needs zork to bolster your dork quotient, when you have sheldon-envy?
