NetHack on a whiteboard

[SsnakeBite]

RIP killed by white board while helpless.

[PikminWarrior]

....I had my volume at max from watching a quiet LP of Nethack...

...my ears hurt so much now...

[MarvinForever42]

lol

[ShawnPattonC]

If only you'd been levitating. Then you could've obtained the Jumbo Magic Marker from the bottom of the whiteboard and then engraved anything into existence.

[Utearian]

I'm missing "Do you want your posessions identified"^^

[csrjjsmp]

wtf is a poison ant

[TheUltimateHusky]

Angband is better, and mAngband is even better than Angband.

Discuss.

[0420sa29]

@TheUltimateHusky mAngband is pretty fun.

[2gdk]

@TheUltimateHusky

Angband is unparalleled among Roguelikes in being ponderous, redundant, and unoriginal. A game that takes 500 real life hours to win, with 100 levels of pure generic dungeon tediousness... levels that change every time you go up or down the stairs, since the programmers were to lazy to have the levels saved to disk. What sort of Roguelike game needs small kobolds, anyway? Nevermind the alphabet soup of X-Angband variants. One is bad enough. OK, how's that for a discussion?

[anduril9969]

I think you did a great job on the video, and the music rocked. Nintendo should make a Nethack with enhanced graphics and release it as a Wiiware title, eh? There could be a Nethack on the PSP, a Nethack for Xbox live arcade, and a Nethack for the Playstation Network! Hey, I'm on a roll. Why not a crappy port of the Xbox version for the Nintendo DS? And make it an App for the iPhone that costs $4.99 even though the computer version is free and better!

[SJGster]

Weapons should be ). ( are tools. I usually think of it as ) is kind of like a bow...

[Grigeral]

I was just playing a game of nethack where a randon eyeball appeared and bam, before I knew it... I was dead :(. Killed by a sewer rat while the eye froze me lol.

I think Nethack has to be one of the hardest games in existence?

[sneasalmaster]

@Grigeral Yeah nethack's reaaally hard, it's even harder than rogue upon which it is based. But it's not harder than hack, primarily because hack is broken.

[SJGster]

@Grigeral You need to know what you're doing, and reading spoilers is practically a necessity (don't engage floating eyes in hand-to-hand combat, unless you like dying)

[kvltizt]

LOL. Yet another stupid death. :p

[joeyheadset]

So quality!

[Esperantanaso]

I did something like this with a friend on the whiteboard at school. (Except with Rogue, not Nethack.) He gave me the controls, and I decided what the dungeon should be. Of course I gave him a room of monsters pretty quickly. :)

[sea4ever7241]

Omigosh, that's so cool! Love the music

[TookyTanooki]

What is the song? i really want it!!!

[noooodl]

Rob Hubbard - Monty On The Run (it's the main theme from a C64 game)

[darnpenguin]

Jumping off the edge of the earth needs to be included in the next version of nethack.

[wille123456789]

WTF, no DYWYPI on the end?

[noooodl]

I've got auto-n on that one? I don't know. This isn't exactly NetHack. (I should've tried better)

[pompeypirate]

Love it.

Is that a Rob Hubbard tune?

[noooodl]

Sure is :)

[xxxxSylphxxxx]

Sounds like one of the monty games, no?

[vlmarshall]

Hahaha, nice.

The dead player should have been a "%" at the end. :)

DYWYPI?

[Doom2Guy]

I know I've heard that music before, but I have no idea where

[noooodl]

Then you have definitely played I Wanna Be The Guy, or looked at some Let's Play of it - it's the music used in The Guy's Castle.

(If you wanna know, it's the theme song to the Commodore 64 game "Monty On The Run".)

[Doom2Guy]

Actually, I follow Guru Larry's shows, and he covered Monty on the Run in an episode

I did play IWTBTG, but I couldn't get past the Quickman part

[P0RtalMan]

IWBTG is too difficult. But that's what makes me want to play it.

[darkrobman1]

0:30 nice vid

[BigFreakingCacodemon]

LOL nice video

this was my first comment ever! i wanted my first one to be positive. BTW

I joined at 5:11 P.M. on Tuesday, June09, 2009

[vlmarshall]

Cool, welcome to YouTube.

[KaceKlosed]

Nice work but to be more precise to dungeon creation - rooms don't ever share a common wall in the early levels (only later in special levels...)

No apologies!!!! Ha

[Goatmon]

teehee, nice.

The best way to end it would be with the text "Do you want your possessions identified? [ynq]" at the end.

[thequickspin]

Short and sweet, loved it.

Do you want your possessions identified? [ynq]

[ProfessorCramulus]

What you don't see is that this is edited together from 10 different runs. The player actually died 9 times going through those two rooms.

[dopna155]

Cool!

[acourtney123]

awesome

[qbert4444]

Brilliant!

[Tickenest]

Tremendous.

[IronCladBen]

funny stuff

[MightyLaharl]

This video is so awesome!

Makes me wonder what it would be like if someone wrote a graphical frontend that simulated playing Nethack on a whiteboard. :P

[alysdexia]

See SketchFighter 4000 Alpha.

[colfranz1278]

How long did it take you to make that? P.S. what the heck is the command 'jump off the whiteboard' for?

[noooodl]

About 20 minutes. And the Amulet of Yendor is pretty deep in the dungeon - going through the whole thing is hard, so why not jump all the way down? :)

[P0RtalMan]

lol. kinda backfired didn't it. Just started playing today.

[MijaeDjinn]

animated nethack... this is awesome.

[lf52]

lawl, pretty good

[noooodl]

I forgot to mention that if you know what GameCube game is running in the back YOU ARE A GOD.

[asiekierka]

Awesome. Sorry i didn't comment earlier, noooodl.

[Toksyuryel]

What song is that? It's awesome :O!

[mkbehr]

I don't know its name or what game it's from, but it was used in the final dungeon of I Wanna Be The Guy... *shudder*

[noooodl]

That's where I got it from... I did some research and asking around; it's the main theme from a old sckool game called "Monty On The Run". Look that up on Wikipedia, there's an mp3 of the song there.

[Toksyuryel]

Yay, thanks!! :D

[Nakisha101]

lol Great. XD "Fall off the whiteboard?" Wth would you do that? Ah, who cares, he did it, anyways. XD Awesome video.

[noooodl]

The Amulet of Yendor could've been down there! :)

[Nakisha101]

OH SNAP D8 I got told.

[SJGster]

@Nakisha101 Regular NetHack can, in certain circumstances, present you with a question that's just as much "Why would you do that?"

[lap1ace]

lol this was awesome :D how long did it take to make

[noooodl]

20 minutes or something. Not counting trouble with Windows Movie Maker of course.

[Zambaku]

Cool!

[Mudboots2006]

Hahaha,

nice video.

[zoozoozooyt]

LOL YASD

[noooodl]

Hehehehehe, yeah. I was thinking of a floating eye death first, but then I thought of this. ;P
