The accursed odor of fresh baking wafts into your newfound nostrils. Something is brewing in the KITCHEN. It must be the connivings of your arch nemesis, BETTY CROCKER, and the rich, buttery aroma of her plot stinks to high heaven. This mission is going to be more difficult than you imagined. >

I don’t quite know what to make of the webcomic “MSPaint Adventures,” except that it’s odd and oddly hilarious. Artist Andrew Hussie creates MSPaint-style RPG-like games that unfold based on reader votes. It’s organic and open-ended, and strangely compelling.
It’s difficult to describe. He presents a situation, and then readers suggest what the characters’ next action should be. This is presented like an early computer game — you have to type in something like “Descend Stairs.” But there are always as many possible options as there are readers.
Imagine Zork, with MSPaint-style graphics.
