Congratulations to Braaains who took all of 60 seconds to guess yesterday’s HaiTaku. The answer, of course, was Speedball 2.
Today’s haiku comes from nexi. Remember you can all send in your own efforts to me and we’ll put them on the site.
Dear Kin Forsaken
Knife, Fork, A Land Laid Low
The Darkness Cometh.
Good luck everyone!
This is HaiTaku. We write Haikus about old video games and leave it you to guess what game we’re talking about. If you want to submit a Haiku feel free. Send it here!

Forsaken
– Totally awesome guess, I know
I despised that game, but I confess to having played it through, was pretty good at the multiplayer too, for all you could actually see of what was going on.
Biker Mice from Mars
Skyrim
Not right, but Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem.
The references to “kin” and “darkness” fit.
Not a Haiku
5-6-5
Or to reply in haiku…
That’s not a haiku.
Only six syllables here.
Try again later.
Such a Great Haiku
Nexi has done well with this
Who cares with the six
The only six that
people care about right now:
Watching the cricket.
bah, sorry, should read Knife, Fork, And a land laid low. botched it when I sent it in
All good, I didn’t mean it to sound like a criticism :o)
All good champ, I sent it in to mark a while back and had to remember it off-hand.
Knives and Forks make me think of Morrowind. So much to steal, so little inventory space.
I was thinking of Morrowind too but I just can’t figure out what the third line means.
Skirting around a similar-ish genre kind of, but not Morrowind (or any other elder scrolls)
seeing this makes me think fallout
check my easy mode clue down the bottom, you should have it in like 10 seconds
Dark Cloud??
*Smashes through the wall*
THE RIGHT ANSWER IS THE DIG
*Dives out through window*
>12th floor window
Bye shane 🙁
THE PTA HAS DISBANDED
where have you been shane?
Well, lemme tell ya. Wherever a young mother was ignorant of what to feed her baby, I was there. Wherever nacho penetration was less than total, I was there. Wherever a Bavarian was not quite full, I was there too.
I’m a whisper in the wind, a drop of oil in a monsoon. I can only be seen out of the corner of your eye, and even then only if you’re fast. I’m everywhere and nowhere. In the world, but not of the world. And sometimes the other way around.
you work in a restaurant, you are like some crazy good waiter who is always close at hand but outside of vision
I just read Fight Club, so all I can picture is Tyler Durden pissing into the soup
Note to self, do not go out to dinner with Shane!
It’s okay, I’m not a waiter 😛
ok ok, “Server” we get it. 😉 Good to have you back. Just letting you know i lit a candle for your safe return every day. And by candle i mean “Biker Mice from Mars”
Temple of Elemental Evil
Lords of Midnight.
Bout to head to work, nobody has it yet, B-ob however has the right era of games while Zar has the right genre. Hints could make this too easy so that’s all I’m giving you
Using nexi’s clue… is it Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean?
Baulders gate.? Maybe
Based on line two alone, without having heard of any game by the name I’m about to guess, I say “Silver Valley”.
Disgaea: Hour of Darkness
Fable 1 2 or 3
Easy mode clue (and I don’t care that it goes 6-7-5 :P)
Yarr harr fiddle dee dee
If you like to sail the sea
you are a princess
It better not be Wind Waker.
Indeed it is
Dear Kin (Sister) Forsaken (fortress she gets taken to)
Knife (Master Sword) Fork (triumph forks), and a land laid low (Hyrule under the ocean)
The Darkness Cometh (either Gannon himself or the eternal night portion of the game, take your pick)
haha, well played. Love the logic / reasoning!
Damn, in-depth!
