THE “REAL LIFE RPG” – ONLY ON MICROSOFT EXCEL
Think RPGs are dull? Think again. Imagine them stripped of all sensory embellishments. Imagine them reduced to core numbers and sums. Imagine it on Excel. Is your imagination ON FIRE yet?
Found by suspicious book-reading resident “Weatherbox” who stumbled across it while… god knows.

This man is more boringerer than all of Blur & Beta Band combined into one boring hipster C U Next Tuesday.
How much of the vid did everyone else manage ? I got through 90 seconds of it whilst doing assorted tasks (I am faster than Sonic you see) then noticed there was another seven minutes and decided to count my pubes instead.

I did about 20 seconds. Happy to hear it doesn’t cut to women eating poo Cornettos after two minutes.

Dear jumping Jesus Chhrist. I had to abandon ship pretty quick, I could feel my brain cells suiciding by the billion.

I AM BORED TO THE POINT OF EXTREME ANGER

I decided to stop it at 3 minutes and 35 seconds.
Although admittedly I would have done it sooner, but I had it running in the background while wanking over Holly Willoughby getting the “This Morning” job.

“doing assorted tasks” was my way of really saying “I was masurbating furiously over the Bayonetta booth babe”. I think I did see a good thirty seconds of the vid before popping wood, but it’s braver to claim 90.

3 minutes and 35 seconds is an incredible achievement. By that point I had my head in the oven, feet in the bath and was holding an electric fan over said bath.

1 minute and 18 seconds.
I really tried so hard to beat AT’s frankly phenomenal time, but I started feeling suicidal after 60 seconds.
Christ above that was boring. Make’s doing my VAT return look positively like a threesome with Ulala and Zorg in comparison.

I watched the lot. It was that or work. Not entirely sure why I didn’t pick work.
At 7.40 he claims he has a wife, and that he makes her fill in a spreadsheet too.
Plus there’s a sequel, but even I can’t be arsed to watch that.

“book-reading resident “Weatherbox””?
You want to be known as book reading do you? More like going on the internetting not opening his curtainsing

The video is instructional like a tutorial, for if you want to download it, hence why the beginning of the video says what it is. Then at that point you decide, do I want to download this and try it? If so, then you continue with the video so you will understand how to play the game. Tutorials generally aren’t meant to entertain.

I think you should be awarded a prize for managing to walk the knife-edge between irony of the highest genius and deep, deep twattery. I’ve read your post three times now and I’m still unsure where you just fell.

I haven’t even clicked play and I’m already bored beyond any form of comprehension. Do I win?
Regarding Weatherbox and his quaint predilection for non-volatile storage formats, I read a book recently. It was dead good, but when I got to page 400 and was told I’d succesfully killed both the Lizard king AND the gonchong it ended, just as I was getting into it. Shame, it was quite good up to that point, with the only long words in it being mainly made up ones that I didn’t need to read aloud anyway.

:) I just didn’t quite get this site at first, just saw the many hits and then found seemingly negative comments. I apologize.

I watched the whole thing, then downloaded the spreadsheets. After I’ve done some level racing I’m going to PK some noobs.

I was actually curious, then I got to “…so it’s harder to level up from 88-89 than it is from level 20-20.” when suddenly I wanted to kill myself.
To put credit to just how boring this is, I’m actually taking a quick break from going through the Idiot Toys archive. I thought I was bored enough to hack it, I pity anyone THAT bored :( failed @ 1:15

Haven’t watched it yet, but it sounds great. Can’t wait!

@tinribs
I didn’t say anything about being the book-reading type. Zorg ascribed that term to me of his own volition.
You’re just a cunty type, or perhaps a boringy type. No wait, a boringy cunty type.

11 seconds.
‘Weekly worksheet’ and Friday evening just aren’t compatible.
