    my first internet community was a star wars roleplaying chat room

    that's embarrassing, but what's even more embarrassing is that I was on its current incarnation just last night

    doggs there has to be someone else here who had to do Mavis Beacon

    I was required to type a half an hour on Mavis Beacon before I could do anything else

    I just bought it. For me. :-/
    I type 90+ wpm, but with myo wn style. And it's hurting my fingers' ligaments, evidently.

    t Orik: Sure. I've worked on a number of muds and it's not a strict parser we're building, but I'm always interested in links on game design.

    Start with 'a theory of fun for game design' on the right hand column and keep going. emily short is pretty much the IF designer at the moment.

    I remember I had one PC game where everything was Lego. I originally wanted the one where you could build things with LEGO but someone fucked up.

    You get to play as one of the characters and- oh wait shit that's it
