That's awesome. And I've never even played Nethack. <p><hr />

<span style="font-size:xx-small;">"Their rhetoric... You didn't put communists in his bed did you!" came Amber's indignant reply.

"Why not? All I had to do was open a gate to his bed and stick up a sign saying 'Hot virgin willing to make the ultimate sacrifice in the name of international socialist fraternity.'"</span>

That is hilarious for 12 or 13 different reasons. <p><div style="text-align:center"></div></p>

<span style="font-size:xx-small;">I've always followed my father's advice: he told me, first to always keep my word and, second, to never insult anybody unintentionally. If I insult you, you can be goddamn sure I intend to. And, third, he told me not to go around looking for trouble. --John Wayne</span></p>

FETUS. I am a FETUS.</p>

That's so awesome I almost just shat myself. <p>-_-___-___-___-_-

"There are four types of men: one who says what's mine is mine and what's yours is yours - he is a neutral person. One who says what's mine is yours and what's yours is mine is a fool. One who says what's mine is yours and what's yours is yours is righteous. One who says what's yours is mine and what's mine is mine is evil."
-Talmud, Avot 5:13

i don't know what that is, but it looks like some sort of X-TREEEEEM pacman.

GET THE PRETZEL!!

[PriamNevhausten]

ODIN SMITES YOU FOR NOT GETTING THE PRETZEL FAST ENOUGH.

TWICE. <p><span style="font-size:xx-small;">"It's in the air, in the headlines in the newspapers, in the blurry images on television. It is a secret you have yet to grasp, although the first syllable has been spoken in a dream you cannot quite recall." --Unknown Armies</span></p>

[Capntastic]

WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR HIGH-SCORE INITIALIZED?

[BrainWalker]

Hey, in Nethack, could you, like, in theory, choke on a pretzel and die? <p><div style="text-align:center"></div></p>

[Capntastic]

Yes.

[BrainWalker]

Awesome. <p><div style="text-align:center"></div></p>

[Capntastic]

Although the closest Nethack has to a pretzel is a fortune cookie. But you can still choke.

[PriamNevhausten]

See, that's why I don't play Nethack. I look forward to the version where normal breathing becomes a perilous decision. <p><span style="font-size:xx-small;">"It's in the air, in the headlines in the newspapers, in the blurry images on television.

[Archmage144]

The thing about Nethack death that's different from a lot of other games is that theoretically you're supposed to learn from it. If you get killed by a particularly dangerous monster, or even a particularly dangerous monster...um...corpse...you can try to avoid making the same mistake next time.

When I was at my peak of obsessive Nethack play (before it got frustrating), I was getting more of an adrenaline rush and feeling more fear from a game that's a bunch of ASCII characters than I ever have from any game in the survival-horror genre. I have never been so terrified of the letter h in my entire life, for starters, and I have never considered a chance find of an _ to be the blessing that it is anywhere else.

Incidentally, the only way to die from choking on a pretzel would be self-induced; you would quite literally have to choke yourself with it.

And while Zero is correct, you could always name your "fruit" item "pretzel," which would result in the odd message "this tastes like pretzel juice!" under just the right circumstances. But you could do it. <p>
