Eye of the Beholder is a game I had on my old Amiga 500 about two decades ago and loved at the time. I wonder if there's still a way to play it on today's faster/better computers?
Left for Dead I played with some friends in a LAN session once and had a great time! Super fun, exciting and scary game!
And Then There Were None - I'm a big Agatha Christie/mystery fan so I'm very intrigued by what this computer game version of her most famous book would be like. Never played it though.

And Kent/Hrista gets it by jumping in blind!
I thought I'd love Oblivion because I'd really liked the previous game in that series, Morrowind, but it just seems to big and overwhelming to me so far. And even though part of me was excited about going into ye olde inns and taverns and making new friends with my 'speechcraft' skill, the other part of me was thinking "I could be in a *real* bar or pub right now making friends instead of sitting behind this computer all night". I think computer games might be best in small doses for me.
Over to you Kent/Hrista.
P.S. Who or what is Hrista Spjoti?

11. have been on television in two nations.
I'm choosing this one because I want to hear the story behind it.
Re: your ID name - that's a cool Shakespeare reference. I'm surprised it's taken this long for someone to ask you about it. You don't see much Icelandic on this site. I had just assumed it was a reference to some MMB thing I wasn't aware of.

11. I have been on US and Canadian television. As a small-town reporter, some of the meetings I covered sometimes got on Albany area TV; people would tell me they saw me.
I have also been on Montreal TV, and was interviewed as one of SUNY Plattsburgh's Canadian Studies students. I never saw the end result, but a fellow student's family did, and confirmed they used our interviews.
6. I actually have been robbed; someone once broke into my car and took some minor crap.
good guess on the 7&17 link! Yes... good guess. But WRONG!
10. That actually did happen! Not for anything I did, but the people I was with. This was about 20 years ago, prob 20 years this spring.
We started out waaaay across town one eve, singing the entirety of "Pink Floyd - The Wall." We wandered across town, past the Capitol, down the Mall, and were finishing up as we went up the L.Mem. steps.
As we finished, the guys I was with let out a wild howl. Out of nowhere stepped a security guard, who ordered us out.

16. In high school, during a 12th grade Economics field trip to NYC, we had some free time near the end of the trip, late afternoon. While my peers were all rushing off to get fake IDs, I wandered up to 666 Fifth Ave, and took the elevator on up. Walked up and down the halls recognized a couple faces, and left. Didn't feel like I should have intruded/bothered anyone, so I didn't. No security in those days, amazingly enough.
13. During my last visit to Edmonton two Marches ago, I took a break from the archives and wandered along the river park. A woman was out dogsledding down the trail. We chatted, and she offered to let me have a go. I mushed my way along for a hundred feet or so; it was pretty neat!
