Whoa. Missed more than I thought.

In my last entry, I mentioned how XKCD had recently done a comic whose sheer size was mind-boggling.

Someone has decided to show me that I underestimated the boggle factor.

Holy shit. o_O

I was going to ask you, actually, about how this... exploration toy played into your liking for purely exploration-based games... it felt a lot to me like playing Knytt, exploring the world and seeing the environments scattered throughout.

Y'know, somehow that didn't even occur to me at the time...?? But yeah, in hindsight it seems like an obvious comparison... honestly, at the time, I was mostly frustrated by the way it felt like he was keeping a joke from me.... I can't explain that feeling, but it was clear as day, though it's mostly evaporated now that I've seen exactly how little there is to it. I guess the difference between this and a game is that I had no indication of whether I was "doing it right" -- I might miss something, and forever be behind on XKCD jokes that everyone else got. I dunno...
