  1. Re:XYZZY on Original Colossal Cave Adventure Now Playable On Alexa (amazon.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Don Woods informed me that he pronounces it "zizzy". As such, the skill allows both the pronunciation "zizzy" or spelling out the letters individually as "X-Y-Z-Z-Y" to work equally.

  2. Re:ME: GO NORTH on Original Colossal Cave Adventure Now Playable On Alexa (amazon.com) · · Score: 1

    Author's note: I tried to keep this version of Adventure as faithful to the original as possible, though I did add a few 'optional' commands to help game-play through a voice interface. For example, for a one-time 2-point score penalty you can ask Alexa for possible paths from your current location by asking for a path hint. This option was added to help mitigate the very point you raise. :)

  3. Final Fantasy XI on Ask Slashdot: Good Ideas For Creative Gaming With Girlfriend? · · Score: 2

    I know it's been out a long time, but FFXI can be a very enjoyable environment for two (or more) people to hang out together when they're miles apart. It's got a lot of places to explore and goals to achieve that have nothing to do with battle. (i.e. Crafting, Fishing, Exploration Quests, etc.). Just a suggestion. :)

  4. "Applications" vs "Programs" on Microsoft Fights Apple Trademark On 'App Store' · · Score: 1

    Didn't Apple coin the word "App" and "Application" back when the Macintosh came out in 1984? Before that, programs were just called programs. If they invented the term, I think they have every right to use and protect it.
