So anyway...

Octopus are great, they've a long history with computers, dating back to the Colossal Cave reference about getting the light to work. Which really is the precedent for the Monkey Wrench in Secret of Monkey Island. They're also good to eat, occasionally ( Read more... )

You have always been prejudiced against squid. Just because of that one mind-flayer......

What about the Mindflayer bloke in the Aeon game, who put the wormlings in everyone's head.

Hold on, aren't these all my games we're talking about.

Its obviously you have something against squid. When were you last in Bangkok?

And another thing, I have never know you to be 'Chipper'.

Chipper is the second to last word I would use to describe you, only being used after I had rejected flocculent as a possible description.

I'm always chipper, ask Duj and Scrib. The gentle ebullience of my my day to day good natured japes, is a wonder to behold.

That video makes me squeak with joy in a way usually reserved for kittens and puppies. I adore octopi/odes/uses. More octopus mirth: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/3328480/Otto-the-octopus-wrecks-havoc.html

Plus, chromataphores! I want them.

I mean the chromataphores, not the squeaking. Obviously every right minded person squeaks with joy at Octopodes.
