It occurs to me that some of you may shoot puppies.

I have been reminded of this by a conversation on "getting people to follow instructions" with disgruntledgrrl.

Don't Shoot The Puppy.

Seriously. Just don't. It's a cute little helpless puppy, don't shoot it.

I didn't. Was I meant to?

Beat the game. Alt-tabbing is the best.

That's cheating!

;) (Thanks for the hint.)

"It would seem that the only way to win is to not play.

How about a nice game of chess?"

I had just started that technique when I alt-tabbed back to see how the puppy was doing.. still on the same level. "Fuck you, puppy", I thought.

Stupid puppy.

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

PUPPY-KILLER!

(But seriously: alt-tabbing misses the POINT!)

I was also knitting while watching the terminally slow puppy. So even if someone hadn't decided to IM right then, I'd be less frustrated with the moral hijacking of my mouse and more just vaguely amused.

Alright, this is brought on by the lateness of the hour, the mention of knitting, and the fact that I am slogging through my EBZ actions, but... uhm... are you the person who's knitting the Elderwick gloves?

[winterlime.livejournal.com]

I am! Though that particular project's sitting in mini-hibernation for the moment.

The easiest way to not shoot that puppy was not to shoot anything, so I didn't. I also have shot no people in real life since I gave up shooting guns out here too--astounding how that old buddhist cause-and-effect=karma is actually true, eh?

The game cheats! It popped up some kind of spammy window and then shot the puppy when I tried to close the message.

[winterlime.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I fell for that one too.

[chaosrah.livejournal.com]

Same, lol

[dreamshade.livejournal.com]

That level is amazing, I admit.

[chaosrah.livejournal.com]

By lvl 4, I wanted to shoot the puppy..

[jsbowden.livejournal.com]

Screw that, I shot the puppy, and I'll shoot it again and again and again and again...

The one thing it's missing is a level where the instructions change to 'Shoot the puppy'. (Or maybe it has that! I only got to level 8.)

AndoOn a side note, the main website there has the best address.
