Comic 1143 - Location

If what you might bluntly call nerds
Turn up at your house in their herds
Then some online game
Is likely to blame
That’s just as daft as Angry Birds.

Original comic here.

Comic 1141 - Two Years

Whether royalty, riff raff or rabble
Get sick and you'll cane it at Scrabble.
Jazike, Zarg and Querdze
Are suddenly words
With none of that "challenging" babble.

Original comic here.

Comic 1112 - Think Logically

The logic in which you take pride
Is not an infallible guide.
It's rarely enough
Cause you need to know stuff
Before you can rightly decide.

Original comic here.

Comic 1078 - Knights

There was a man from Inverness
Who couldn't be beaten at chess.
As on Agincourt field
His opponent's knight's shield
Would yield to pawn bowmen. Success!

Original comic here.

Comic 1002 - Game AIs

If you play your computer at chess
It won't be much fun, I would guess.
They've all got too good
(And truth or dare would,
If anything, be even less.)

Original comic here.

Classic Comic 470 - The End is Not for a While

When protesters blather and babble
I join their unruly rabble
With signs that just say
Things are pretty OK
And would anyone like to play Scrabble?

Original comic here.

Lots of protesting going on at the moment, so it's nice to revisit this one.

Comic 983 - Privacy

Two college kids, Frisky and Foxy,
Were blocked by their room-mate’s raid. Poxy!
Not content with just stopping
Its fans from bed-hopping,
Warcraft now creates virgins by proxy.

Original comic here.

Comic 939 - Arrow

There was a man from Westward Ho!
Who fired off a fletch from his bow.
But back came a kylie
Aboriginal-stylee
And struck that man from Westward Ho!!

Original comic here.

That's one exclamation mark for the surprise, and one as a standard part of Westward Ho!. Did you know that "kylie" means "boomerang"?

Classic comic 393 - Ultimate Game

There once was a man from wherever
Who frustrated Death's dark endeavour.
He'd a role-playing game
Ready when the time came
So they sat reading rulebooks forever.

Original comic here.

Comic 929 - Speculation

There once was a young man from Jarrow
Who often found games a bit narrow.
He played snakes and ladders
With real-life adders
And in catch, shot the ball with an arrow.

Original comic here.

Classic comic 724 - Hell

In Hell you're eternally grounded
For sins that in your life abounded
You sit playing Tetris
Except that - just get this -
The floor that your blocks land on's rounded.

Original comic here.

A companion limerick to number 888, in the previous post.

Comic 888 - Heaven

In Heavenly Tetris they say
That however badly you play
An ideally indented
New block is invented;
I'd still turn it round the wrong way.

Original comic here.

Comic 884 - Rogers St.

If you don't want your kids doing porn
You need to move house when they're born:
A Rogers Street flat
Plus Mister the Cat
Should render their chances folorn.

Original comic here.

Comic 878 - Model Rail

A scale model maker from Ightham
Made Ightham down to the last item.
His scale house (a doddle)
Had a model scale model
And on and on, ad infinitum.

Original comic here.

Comic 874 - Time Management

There once was a man from Mannheim
Who knew how to manage his time.
He sat at his screen
Playing Commander Keen,
That well-managed man from Mannheim.

Original comic here.

Comic 873 - FPS Mod

These *BLAM* people have their own lives
But in this game, the *BLAM* strong survives
*BLAM* I'd rather just thrill
To the joy of the kill
*BLAM* *BOOOOOM* And not mourn for their wives.

Original comic here.

I confess I am having difficulty making killing-centric subject matter work in the nonsense verse format. Let's have some lighter XKCD comics, please.

Comic 868 - Nolan Chart

There's one thing online libertarians
Whether striplings or sexagenarians
All hold in their hearts
And that's diamond-shaped charts -
They're baseball fans crossed with contrarians.

Original comic here.

Comic 861 - Wisdom Teeth

A bored convalescent from Baden
Rang his gamer friend up and sought pardon
But, feeling quite woozy
(The anaesthetic's a doozy)
He played Minecraft like a Zen garden.

Original comic here.

Comic 852 - Local g

There was a pole vaulter from Mold
Who wowed London's crowd and won gold
But in spite of his brio
He'll struggle in Rio
Cause down there, g's value won't hold.

Original comic here.

An extrapolation from the comic's general theme, rather than a versification of the comic's events.

Classic comic 391 - Anti-Mindvirus

There once was a game called The Game
(Not the most original name)
It isn't much fun
But it's OK - you've won!
Let's all now move on from The Game.

Original comic here.
