Right now your probably saying, "which roguelike?" All of them. You heard me, ALL OF THEM! Well, no excatly. I'll be honing my hacking skills. Also, I really prefer ascii. Please suggest games. I'll be writing down what happens on a notepad, so there will be a wonderful descriptive nearly turn by turn narrative, and I'll be writing from the perspective of my charcter.

FOR ASCII!!!!

Nethack; probably the ubiquitous place to start.

Just to piss you off, play Elona.

Hmm...I've never been a big fan of CCGs - I mean, I did and still do collect Pokemon cards, but I never got heavily into the battling and trading thing.

By definition that makes you a fan since you still buy them.

Now now. Not every japanese game is from the bullet hell genre. But they do fall into a distinct definition of "fuck"

You should play Iter Vehemens Ad Necem (IVAN). Its name is Latin for HappyA Mighty SunshineJourney ForTo AllDeath. It's true. Go play it and be happy. You'll have Fun.

I am of the Yerly. I am female. I am a pianist, and the world is my stage. I'm sexy and a lady killer, and am lucky. My alias is "White Chick", and all shall fear me. I am, Devling!

"What, where, who? Oh, hey hot stuff."

"Ya luck, blessed blah blah."

"What? Tutorial? Why would I need that? Get out of my house!"

Looking about I realize that this place is a mess. I begin to pick up trash and try to find a way to throw it out. I cleaned my room and made it look all nice and purty. Also I keep getting bombarded by random death messages. I think I go outside. Some random girl named Norne is yelling at me. I'm just ignoring her. After listening to her babble she gave me the travel guide. What ever. Now I'm in a tower. What to do?

Note: When I die in a game I'll go and play another game. I'm not reading the tuturial because I want to die fast, This game is scary to my ascii brain. Also the music is to pleasent. Blarg.

Oh a door. Thrilling. Fuck, a yeek. And bat. Then a fallen soldier kills the yeek. Then he says "look at you." Then somebody died in my house. WTF?
The fucking bat is being a jumpy bastard, so for now he lives. FOR NOW!
Going through the door. Looking at a rune. Fighting a hermit crab, HOLY FUCK A DEMON! And he's hungry, GREEEAAAT! Well, he got fed. NEXT GAME!

So... IVAN? Never played it. Better be fucking ascii. All that anime nearly killed me.
