My personal contingency is this: once the bombs start falling I’ll be running towards the blasts not away. When it comes to an “all out” nuclear war there are no outcomes that leave behind a world worth living in imo. Assuming the initial blasts spare me and I don’t live somewhere that gets peppered with fallout, I’ll have starvation and societal collapse to look forward to.

The irony isn't lost on me that a company obsessed with cultivating an image of family friendliness punished an employee trying to start a family.

Wow this blog has an entire article series in this format with more than a dozen write-ups. Incredible that I haven't found this site sooner, what a gem!

In my opinion zork is one of the least impressive infocom games out there, its historical importance cannot be ignored as it was really one of the first infocom games produced; and text based games such as zork did a lot to help computers gain traction as an entertainment medium back in the late 70s.

Many better infocom games have been written since zork and there is even a fairly active community of infocom enthusiasts on sites like IFDB (infocom database) http://ifdb.tads.org/ if you really want to try getting into infocom games try looking at the higher rated ones on that site. My first complete playthrough and all time favorite infocom games is called Vespers and I would highly recommend it as a primer to the infocom medium.
