Who plays it? I'm pretty much willing to declare it is the hardest, best, and most awesomest RPG ever. Of course, it's a bitch because now that I've started playing again my GPA is going to jump off some buildings and shit.

It would be a lie to say I play it, but I have played it in the past for an amount of time which, considered contiguously, would probably be best measured in days.
So you could say I'm acquainted with it.
Fucking hardest game ever.
-
Well, certainly one of the most precipitous learning curves ever.
Call me newfangled and ADD ridden, but I like games where it doesn't require every key on the keyboard to operate. I'm also partial to graphical representation of things. Getting jumped by a lowercase d is awkward, you know?
Then again, I really like Doom: The Roguelike.

Yes, nethack generally seems to have an adverse effect upon the whole GPA thing. Fine game, though.

Don't get me back on nethack! It will destroy my social life. Again.

You know you want it. All it takes is a bag of holding...

...deez nuts

The download of it actually comes with a graphical version. It's pretty badass. Although yeah, it has a steep learning curve and not for the ADD ridden.

I beat rogue ("my, what a yummy mango!") and have in the past been a keen moria & angband player in the past (always get bogged down in the max-out-your-stats levels), good old Boss Key, it *is* just there for the bad things in life! Angband is worse than counterstrike & civ3 combined: I have not dared look at any other roguelike games since I got married:)

(That's probably a good idea that you haven't; they're like crap.)
Also, you beat Rogue? NICE.
