Arrrrrgh, a goddamned half-elf werejackal bit me and now I'm a goddamned orc barbarian werejackal. All my armor fell off, but that's ok because earlier I tried to dip my axe in a fountain, which exploded, and my general issue badass orc helmet (with Thundercat logo stencil) rusted up really bad. The other nice thing about being a werejackal is that the evil cursed flail of libido-draining that welded itself to my hand... well, it fell off.
The only downside so far: My dumb kitten eats the store owners' tripe (that the idiot left on the floor of a dungeon), racks up a massive bill, and now I can't figure out how to get out. Tried praying. Did not help.

If you don't like Nethack, just remember that it has 45 times the depth, creativity, and replayability of modern games like Assassin's Creed.
I am going to polymorph my kitten into a cockatrice and ride that tripe-stealing bastard until he drops. Later.
Note: I did not know this...
Edit: THANK YOU Phew for mentioning Nethack in another thread... Made me reminisce and then download it!

Badass.- If a lawful character dips his long sword into a fountain, the Lady of the Lake may reach up and transform it into Excalibur. If a non-lawful character tries the same trick, she will be annoyed and curse the sword.
- If you are given the chance to choose a level to teleport to, and you choose level 0, you'll go to nowhere and cease to exist. If you choose -1 to -9, you'll wind up high above the clouds. The fall will kill you, unless you're levitating or flying, in which case you'll land on the surface and escape the dungeon. If you choose -10 or less, you'll go straight to heaven (not a good thing, as it means you're dead).
- It is sometimes possible to change into a monster (polymorph), and when you do, you acquire the monster's abilities. For example, if you polymorph into a female red dragon, you can breathe fire and lay eggs, which will later hatch into your pets.
