Part of me is greatly impressed, but another part of me just asks "why?"

Love excel myself, but I wonder how this game plays.  I figure I could use excel to generate random numbers for pen/paper rpg.  Not that I can be bothered.

Maybe that guy is an accountant.  Life is so boring, he'll create a functioning fortune telling excel file and not use it.

Because he's boring.

It's extremely fun like a rogue-like MUD strategy game. Too bad people are so judgmental.

There's no why, there's only Y-COM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdCU45CdnqI)!
