| i like this. this is funny. i am happy. im sorry your fork retrieving tactic didnt work tho ;_; | ||||||
| clever | ||||||
| I swear there was a game where you could actually pick up a "fork in the road".
Some jokes only work in text. | ||||||
| There was? Wow. I need to play that. | ||||||
| You win. | ||||||
| That would be the Xanth adventure game I believe. | ||||||
| Love it. My brain just timewarped back to 1985, when I was playing Hitchhiker's on my Apple IIc. Good times. | ||||||
| (i.e. That's the game that lets you get the fork in the road. It also lets you get a door that's a_jar). | ||||||
| I played Hitchhiker's also. | ||||||
| i love text based games :/ | ||||||
| LOLZ | ||||||
| Teh win. | ||||||
| Awesome! | ||||||
| olololo | ||||||
| Get ye flask! | ||||||
| text adventure ftw!!!! | ||||||
| This reminds me of that Muppet fork in the road thing. (Zork owns) | ||||||
| Love the music. | ||||||
| More like why being a retard sucks amirite???? | ||||||
| you should say "grab fork" | ||||||
| I loled | ||||||
| lol | ||||||
| I LOVE MUDS!!! | ||||||
| Stab self was my favorite. It always worked even if you didn't have anything sharp at hand. | ||||||
| Classic parody. I appload you. | ||||||
| :) | ||||||
| -_- | ||||||
| get ye flask! | ||||||
| I remember picking up a fork in the road once. Some moron decided they should add text based adventure stuff to a console game a while ago. :/ | ||||||
| Oh, now I remember. It was Kingdom of Loathing! (google it) | ||||||
| lol, smart ass. | ||||||
| You cannot get ye flask. It is firmly bolted to a wall which is bolted to the rest of the dungeon which is probably bolted to a castle. | ||||||
| You have been eaten by a lurking grue. | ||||||
| WHAT IS GRUE | ||||||
| BABY DON'T EAT ME | ||||||
| ...
| ||||||
| Clever, but smooth it out... | ||||||
| f*cking win. | ||||||
| HELLO, SAILOR! | ||||||
| What time were text based adventure games huge? I've never played one. | ||||||
| Okay, this is pissing me off. Every time I open this YTMND, the internets die. What the hell? | ||||||
| lol, true | ||||||
| aww man, hilarious! | ||||||
| heh i was playing return to zork the other day. "Want some rye!?" | ||||||
| very nice | ||||||
| My god, this takes me back. | ||||||
| ye olde f*ggot shop | ||||||
| I would've said "turn off the game" | ||||||
| 5 for sound and truth | ||||||
| LOL awsome! Very original. | ||||||
| I | ||||||
| Awesome. | ||||||
| I hate text adventures. You have do type EXACTLY what's needed, or else the game won't do anything. | ||||||
| >SEX THE TREE
"You must be thinking of a different game!" | ||||||
| Nice | ||||||
| good times... | ||||||
| very clever | ||||||
| grab fork | ||||||
| first ytmnd to make me lol in ages | ||||||
| Ah yes. As Yogi Berra once said "If you ever come to a fork in the road, take it." | ||||||
| lawl, took me awhile to get it. | ||||||
| ZORK! | ||||||
| HAW HAW HEW HAW THATS JUST f*ckING HILARIOUS ARENT YOU CLEVER | ||||||
| AHM HUNGRAH!!! NEED FORK!! >:( | ||||||
| there is no... fork? | ||||||
| That's pretty weird how words can be spelled the same and mean two different things. Mind = Blown. | ||||||
| Respect to your awesome YTMND skills, but I'm going to have to 2 it.
I like Text Adventures. | ||||||
| Ahh, laighed my *ss off at the last two 1's. Ha, 2 1! I'm as funny as you! | ||||||
| lol | ||||||
| god i hope you know that a fork in the road is where the road seperates into two paths... | ||||||
| 'go dennis' | ||||||
| YOU ARE LIKELY TO BE EATEN BY A GRUE | ||||||
| Text adventures FTW. | ||||||
| LMFAO TeXt Sucks | ||||||
| Hahaha | ||||||
| lawl | ||||||
| Haha, I remember when I played monkey island as a kid, I was always clicking on the "fork" in the road trying to pick it up :( | ||||||
| ye old gaming | ||||||
| get fork | ||||||
| EXACTLY | ||||||
| You see a flask. >get ye flask. YOu can't get ye flask! | ||||||
| And you sit there for hours wondering why on Earth you cannot get ye flask! | ||||||
| Ahh, that Xanth game was enfuriating and awesome at the same time. Plus it had that naked half-fish chick. | ||||||
| Get that damn fork! | ||||||
| "Want some rye? couse ya do!" | ||||||
| claire danes | ||||||
| The good old days. *sniff* | ||||||
| lol. | ||||||
| text based adventures rule because in some games you _CAN_ actually do that. | ||||||
| clever | ||||||
| the fork in the road is likely to be eaten by a grue
also fives | ||||||
| lawl | ||||||
| This is actually pretty genius. | ||||||
| :( ftw! | ||||||
| I love lame puns like this. Win. | ||||||
| THY DUNGEONMAN! | ||||||
| so true. | ||||||
| pretty decent | ||||||
| >XYZZY | ||||||
| I five, but disagree. http://textparsergamesarethesh*t.ytmnd.com/ | ||||||
| pretty funny, but have you tried Dragonrealms? that game is sick | ||||||
| Heh..True. | ||||||
| get fork | ||||||
| Cute, but doesn't deserve #2 | ||||||
| YOU CANNOT GET YE FORK! IT IS STUCK TO THY ROAD. | ||||||
| Genius. Plus great music. | ||||||
| Scott Adams ftw | ||||||
| WTF? This is the most boring YTMND I've ever f*cking seen in my life. | ||||||
| pretty funny | ||||||
| Get ye flask | ||||||
| Funny, but I like text adventures :| | ||||||
| no, you cross a fork | ||||||
| You don't know what a "fork in a road" is. And Thy Dungronman 3 is awesome. | ||||||
| haha this makes me chuckle *haughtily giggles* | ||||||
| DAmnit with the puns | ||||||
| epic fork-stealing maneuver | ||||||
| GEMSTONE 3!!!!!!!! | ||||||
| ROEFULL | ||||||
| ...all the dungeonman comments have been used. "Obvious exits are North, South and Dennis" | ||||||
| not funny | ||||||
| This is comedy gold. | ||||||
| Funny, but don't go ragging on text adventures. The own. | ||||||
| "Nord and Bert Couldn't Make Head or Tail of It" by Infocom might be what people are referring to. It was a a text adventure game I had for the Commodore64. There was a fork in the road you picked up, a door that was a jar, and the first puzzle was changing the phrase "shake a tower" to "take a shower". A lot of word-play like that... | ||||||
| I uber lol'd. | ||||||
| thank God the Atari came out when I was 3.... I've heard horror stories about Zork and all that sh*t. | ||||||
| The song is by Axel F and its called Harold Faltermeyer. but its been used in 8 bit sound for the ONE weakness fad. | ||||||
| In Soviet Russia, road forks you! | ||||||
| i laughed :) | ||||||
| you win | ||||||
| LAWL! "get fork" nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo | ||||||
| lol chocolate | ||||||
| >=( | ||||||
| hahah | ||||||
| I always input "Do a barrel roll!" or "Shot web" or "Play battletoads" | ||||||
| get ye flask | ||||||
| I busted out laughing, both because i know the pain of stupid inputs on text adventures, and because of the silly joke :P WINS 4 U!!! | ||||||
| Haha! True.. | ||||||
| Zork's fork | ||||||
| hehe :) | ||||||
| You can't get ye flask! | ||||||
| hehehe | ||||||
| :D | ||||||
| no they suck because you are retarded | ||||||
| Silly pun, but the >:( at the end fives it. | ||||||
| get fork | ||||||
| you win the internets | ||||||
| lol | ||||||
| ROFL | ||||||
| yes they do! | ||||||
| Lol, but text adventures rule! | ||||||
| gg Infocom pwnd | ||||||
| take the road less traveled! robert frost ftw | ||||||
| :( is an anachronism for old text based games | ||||||
| GOD DAMN THAT MADE ME LOL EXCEPT I HAD TO WATCH IT A FEW TIMES BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET THE PUN XD | ||||||
| >Examine Context_ | ||||||
| maybe you're just an idiot | ||||||
| lol...just needs to be a bit longer | ||||||
| insta fav good sir | ||||||
| LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL | ||||||
| fork you, man :( | ||||||
| I was a huge fan of text adventures, all the way back to... wow... 1983. Infocom, Scott Adams (not the Dilbert guy), Radio Shack... Damn, I'm old. Anyway, this was impressive and amusing. Nice work! | ||||||
| anyone who downvotes this, was born after 1990. in theory. | ||||||
| Dungeonman seems to take the others up to date with it, judging by all the "flask" comments. | ||||||
| XYZZY
| ||||||
| f*ck no, text adventures are awesome. you're just an idiot. also -900 for using music made by Nobuyuki. granted, you don't know who he is probably but that doesn't make him any less of a furry f*ggot who should be hated more than eric bauman or anyone else for that matter. | ||||||
| sorry but no, a test base game that doesn't have get as a main funtion is a bad text game, play some good ones. | ||||||
| i can go in detail and describe what a scumbag that guy is but too bad there's a text limit on this sh*t. | ||||||
| (he's worse than JoshCube btw, just a heads up fyi etc) | ||||||
| lucky for you, it won't let me vote for some reason. | ||||||
| basically, well the first thing I can tell you: nobu is a pedophile. do not support his sites or music or anything | ||||||
| anyway f*ck it I can't vote so I'm gonna stop wasting my time commenting now. plz don't support furry pedos (nobuyuki) who try to rape little girls over aim thanks | ||||||
| ^_^
| ||||||
| OK, for the record, I LIKE TEXT BASED ADVENTURES. THE TITLE WAS PART OF THE JOKE. | ||||||
| lalsz | ||||||
| the utensil less travelled, eh? | ||||||
| lawl | ||||||
| You can't get ye fork | ||||||
| On a more serious note, I always hated text adventures (seriously, not like you jest). You could get fork, pick up fork, retrieve fork, gather fork, and eventually figure out the correct syntax is 'collect the fork'. | ||||||
| PS: What's with the commentor a bit above me? Jesus Christ, someone needs to take their meds. | ||||||
| I AM XENU. I AM UNDERCOVER IN A PRISON CELL IN A MOUNTAIN WITH A GATE POWERED BY AN ETERNAL BATTERY. | ||||||
| GOD WHOULD APPROVE | ||||||
| http://www.the-underdogs.info/ Most good text adventures are availible here. ....Don't abuse it... mkay? Site's had trouble in past. In fact, not sure if any downloads work right now without some trickery with the hostid file..... I'll check later. | ||||||
| YOU ARE EATEN BY A GRUE | ||||||
| not that im a hard grader as far as ytmnds go, but 5 for originality, good stuff | ||||||
| The thetans have taken me. Please send help. | ||||||
| creative ahaha | ||||||
| Yeah, there were a lot of Infocom games that would have jokes where you could pick up the fork etc., like HHG2TG, the Zork series, Planetfall, Nord & Bert... (which was kinda "Far Side" based), Leather Goddesses of Phobos,... can't think of the other funny ones. | ||||||
| ebaumzoomg.ytmnd.com | ||||||
| GO DENNIS | ||||||
| didn't get it at first...LOL | ||||||
| use different music (or different version of the song, in other words anything other than Nobuyuki) and make the title "what I hate about text adventures" or something like that because TEXT ADVENTURES f*ckING OWN! Correct your mistakes and I'll attempt to vote 5, if it will let me. | ||||||
| It's better this way. One "1" won't hurt me. | ||||||
| hi | ||||||
| Ye cannot get ye flask. It is bolted to the table, which is bolted to the floor, which is bolted to the dungeons walls, which are most likely bolted to the ground. | ||||||
| This is a YTMND. It is made of Win and God. | ||||||
| XD | ||||||
| Obvious exits are NORTH, SOUTH and DENNIS. | ||||||
| couldn't help but 5 this | ||||||
| 5 for text game | ||||||
| This site is still hilarious. At my work we use these old DOS computers and to pull up someone's account you type "get" followed by their name. I tried "get fork," but nobody has the last name Fork. : | ||||||
| reminds me of the legend of solitaire. best. game. ever. i think... | ||||||
| awesome. | ||||||
| get 5 stars. | ||||||
| No fork for you. | ||||||
| lol...awesome. | ||||||
| you lose, please try again ^_^ | ||||||

| rofl, u win | ||||||
| lol | ||||||
| Fight Mimic. | ||||||
| GET YE FLASK! | ||||||
| Also, grue. | ||||||
| obvious. 5 cuase it reminds me of the muppet movie, and I love the muppet movie. | ||||||
| I miss text based adventure games. | ||||||
| No comment. | ||||||
| Kewl Axel F remix. I tried to play a text-based RPG once. Yeah, didn't work out so well. | ||||||
| eat me some sketti | ||||||
| Why is it that people who dont have any sites whatsoever made, are the first one to critisize and downvote? Max should make it to where if you havent made a site, you cant vote. C*ckbites. Good site btw. | ||||||
| faved | ||||||
| LOL | ||||||
| original ytmnd? OMG | ||||||
| LOL | ||||||
| Well, at least you tried. | ||||||
| Old school Zork FTW | ||||||
