    lol, funny. Still makes me instinctively look for an “organize” button to press so everything would stack into 4 slots…

    I’d play that RPG.

    I actually got the joke this week.

    report

  12. Nick says:

    It’s not a portrait, just showing what’s equipped =P

    Either way it has no trousers, but maybe they don’t make chainmail pantaloons that are wearable by the puzzlemaster class.

    Talk about spooky RNG happenings, when I clicked on the article, the “Revisit an Old Story” was for “Today I’m Annoyed About: Action-RPG Inventories”. Eerie…

    The joke was funny, but the fact that it’s solvable makes this one of those things I now have to show everyone.

  15. Holy crap, it’s an actual working puzzle. Am sending this sucker around.

  16. Heliocentric says:

    heh…. i am gonna go program a sudoku application with a logic bomb in it, that after a certain date every minute 1 item on the puzzle will change.

    Then my grasp on world power will be at hand!
