The mark of a good game.

This game is actually great. I played through fully twice, it’s rather short. Highly recommend if you like digging a hole and upgrading your hole digging ability.

When I was a young warthog, I needed my first username. I thought to myself “what’s cool, that I can base my name on?” “Gansters are cool!” “How about Al Capone? He’s cool. He is even a good person. He invented milk expiration dates or something like that.” “But I can’t just have that name, I have to make it cooler. I’ll write it using l337 speak.”

Thus, my username “alkpwn” (plus some numbers because it was taken on Xbox live) was born.

Quickly, I realized people didn’t always understand it. They would have trouble pronouncing it when they saw it in halo 2. From “Al capn” to “Alk pawn”, I got all sorts of pronunciations.

My friends ended up just shortening it to Alk. And here we are.

Time to go to usenet.
