Fnords in the Lj, evil metaphorical video games

[scyllacat]

This is Dodge.

Play Dodge here.

It's like this, you see...

You're in a box (playing field). You're the circle. There's a square in the box with you. In order to get points, 1.) all you have to do is touch the square. Every time you touch the square, three things happen:

a. You get 5 points.

b. The square takes up a new position in the box.

c. A red dot appears floating randomly about the box.



Thus, we add a new direction: 2) Don't touch the red dots.

So, the game gets harder and harder the more you play. It's the kind of thing that makes me hate video games. The ultimate end of a solitary game is LOSING. It just gets harder and harder until you die.

In this case, the horrid bit is this: Wanna live forever? Just don't play. No points, no red dots, no death. What does it all MEAN?


**************something else now***************

And when I'm over here on LiveJournal, my drop down menus don't exactly line up with their headers, so my mouse is trying to jump this gap into the menu. If I hold down the mouse button so it thinks I'm trying to move the header ONTO the menu, at least the menu stays on so I can click something else. Otherwise, I keep losing the menu. Charlie's works fine. Anyone else seen this thing like?

I very much hated it. I jumped up shouting "Fnord!" I couldn't understand why I couldn't get the site to work AllofaSudden.
