Nethack over BioShock?  Blasphemy!  BioShock may only have been
released a week ago, but it's already a classic.  It's possibly the
best FPS of all time.  Nethack...that monstrosity has been obsolete
since the mid-1970's, and that pretty bad considering that it was
created in the mid-1980's.  It's legacy baggage that computer geeks
can't seem to let go of, like the serial port and Doctor Who.

OK, before anybody gets mad, you should know that Mike would probably
expect a response like this from me about something that he likes.  I
really have nothing against Nethack.  Put the guns down.

But really, BioShock is awesome.  It's such a shame that this
incredibly well made game is being trashed by everyone over something
like DRM.
