Commentary

O(V)eG@: Go notepad GO! yeah baby, I can't believe the 79.6% of you that didn't vote for it! notepad is the way of the future! Just imagine all thos beautiful ASCII guns >drool< and the Greasels! Oh lord the Greasels! just imagine that beautiful text-based beauty, damn your polygons, damn them all to hell! I want white screens, black characters and indisciferable pictures, most of all, look at those curvs, sexy no? don't believe me? look at this "O" mmm, curvaceous :) But I wan't greasels! hey? do you think if I designed a greasel in ASCII then ION would give me a job? let's see.

...Okay, maybe not... There's a free copy of NOTEPAD in it for anyone that can send in a better Greasel!

Go notepad. Go Notepad. It's your birthday...

Despot: NOTEPAD all the way! It'd be like Nethack, but with nanoaugs and conspiracies and big guns! Ten times better! Notepad, I tell you! Who needs beautiful graphics, anyways?

Just think, it'd dramatically decrease development time and costs...and you could distribute it on floppies. It'd run on a 386! And porting to other Operating Systems would be a snap. The advantages are incredible, dontcha know?

Gwog: Well, I guess Unreal Warfare/Unreal 2 takes this one easily... Suck It Down, id. Naturally, I'm in line with my colleagues in that I think Notepad would be the perfect choice. Here, take a look at what a conversation in Deus Ex 2 might look like. I made this, and I'm not even some big fancy designer!
