A Minecraft MMO.
I didn’t have enough time to judge it fully. The first impression is Minecraft.

A multiplayer, text, third-person shooter originally made for DOS, but I know it from Novell Netware.
I had a hell of a lot of fun with it. Perhaps it’s nostalgia which makes me stay so fond of it, but I think the fundamental gameplay still holds up today. I could easily imagine a great updated version of this but I have and still do see this same gameplay in all sorts of other top-down games.
- DOS
- Linux port (archive)

It is discovered that a person and their voice can be paired with certain words to manifest effects in the real world.
Tiring. Slow, confusing, and after 12 minutes it gets into a bit of a plot. The world has not been particularly well-explained.. giving this too little substance to hold my attention.

A tactically-minded man creates an instruction manual for action and understanding in the realm of high-lords of kingdoms.
At under 70 pages, this book may be thin but it’s incredibly dense. I found myself reading paragraphs three times before moving on. Although nothing in it surprised me, I can still easily recommend it. It’s been, somehow, given a bad name. I only found a slight tinge of “evil” creeping in at about the half-way mark, but nothing inexcusable.
I understood it well enough to add strong commentary, and to give much improved explanation in the latter half which draws from the former. It’s interesting to me that the author himself didn’t catch on to the trends in his own advice.
Like The Art of War – (~476 BC book), by Sunzi, people have interpreted this text for all manner of uses such as the business world.
