Nethack

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

Some classes start with a kitten companion, who's more powerful then most early monsters you meet. But they'll turn on you if you let them get hungry...

Nethack is one of the most old school of games. The object is to summon the will to play it again after you have just been killed by what invariably turns out to be a kitten. The other object of the game is to write an article about it for Wired Magazine that sounds exactly like every other article written about it, ever.

If you're posting on a Nethack-related message board about how you've found some "funny" message that you get when you try to put a bottle in another bottle or something similarly stupid, be sure to end your post with the acronym, DTTOE ("Dev Team Thinks of Everything"). Similarly, end all posts about your character being killed with the acronym YASD ("Yet Another Stupid Death"). Congratulations; you are now a fucking douchebag.

Nethack was a total ripoff of the game Rogue, which is even more oldsk00l and was released 100 years earlier but noone cares.
