Some highlights

Some highlights (mostly worksafe) from a game that would rock in a play-by-email or forum format. The inventor, alas, is dead. Another site here; and here's two random servers (possibly work-unsafe).

Mostly worksafe my ass.

Good link, cps. Very funny. The kind of thing a group of friends create to amuse themselves. Also an odd feeling of sadness hanging over it, with the knowledge that the guy who created it is gone.

Doesn't look like the site is being updated; I wonder if his group still plays it, or how long they continued after his accident.

Five fresh fish, I'm puzzled. "Mostly" means not completely. If your employer or coworkers are sensitive enough to object to you visiting that page, and if they can see what you browse, why would you even click something that says "mostly worksafe"? Not to mention, why would you trust my description to start with? I'm a stranger on the internet; I hope you don't read the Slashdot forums at work.

So can I come to your house to play Nintendo too? Do I have to kiss Mr Snakey?

For a guy who died in 1999, Nathan McQuillen seems to be keeping himself busy.

Finally! A Calvinball fit to be played indoors!

This game appeals to me on so many levels. I really have to get my hands on some cards and get going with this one.
