HAHAHA!!!!   :D


look what i found

http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/utilities/icculusorgquake3.html

while i was trying to download a quake 3 port for my mac... i went to that page, clicked the download link (while on a pc) and busted a gut laughing

here is what it links to

http://icculus.org/quake3/files/ioquake3.dmg

in case it dissapears this is what it says

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

> find link
You stumble around trying to find http://icculus.org/quake3/files/ioquake3.dmg, but your hands grasp nothing except dirt and rock. You eventually touch something solid, and lift it up. As you bring it to your eyes, you squint to find that it is an orange scroll of domination.

Your score is 25 out of a possible 375. This gives you the rank of hoser.
Are you sure you want to give up [y/N]? : y

Yes, that's Zork. And it apparently shows every time when you try to access a file which does not exist, when mundane sites display a mundane 404 message. Also nice that the thing you find is chosen randomly each time.
