I want you to play NetHack
Other games come and go. Year after year I find myself in the same scenario: I'm putting the last few nails in the coffin of some newfangled game and pondering my next dive into the Mazes of Menace. This year, I want you to come along! If you are unfamiliar with NetHack, the following page is a better pitch than I could come up with:

I've been playing this god game for well over a decade and I've gotten pretty darn good at it. It is tough to get into, but I will help you. I guarantee you with absolute certainty that it is worth the effort.
Recommended steps for getting started:
- Download putty.exe - This is a client that will allow you to connect to a NetHack server via telnet
- Run putty.exe and fill in as follows:
<ul> - Host Name: nethack.alt.org
- Port: 23
- Connection Type: Telnet
- Saved Sessions: NetHack
[*]Click Save[*]Double click on your newly-saved NetHack session in the large pane (this is the only step on subsequent runs)</ul>
This will get you connected to the nethack.alt.org server, which is, in my opinion, the best place to play.
There is a website for the server @ http://nethack.alt.org where you can view games history, statistics, and all kinds of other cool stuff.
