What fun would computers be without games?



My online home since 1995 has been Dead Of Night. A multi-player environment, many regular players, and in a nice dark gothic setting - it is a great way to play games with friends. I find one of the most amusing parts of DeadOfNight being the ability to play other games within the game. Uno, checkers, gin, connect 4, and trivia always are good for entertainment.

How, if some day or night a demon were to sneak after you into your
loneliest loneliness and say to you, "This life as you now live it
and have lived it, you will have to live once more and
innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but
every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything
immeasurably small or great in your life must return to you - all in
the same succession and sequence - even this spider and this moonlight
between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal
hourglass of existence is turned over and over, and you with it, a
dust grain of dust." Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your
teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or did you once experience
a trmendous moment when you would have answered him, "You are a god,
and never have I heard anything more godly." If this thought
were to gain possession of you, it would change you, as
you are, or perhaps crush you. The question in each and every thing, "Do
you want this once more and innumerable times more?" would weigh upon
your actions as the greates stress. Or how well disposed would you have to
become to yourself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than this
ultimate eternal confirmation and seal?
