Travis at Arcane Gazebo suggests a game: Six Degrees of Wikipedia
- Go to Wikipedia.
- Click the random article link in the sidebar.
- Open a second random article in another tab.
- Try to find a chain of links (as short as possible) starting from the first article that leads to the second.
Lacking other bloggy inspiration, I tried it out. My two pages to connect were Kings Contrivance, Columbia, Maryland and Home Alone (video game), because God hates me. I did find a chain between them, though:
- Kings Contrivance, Columbia, Maryland
- Planned Community
- United States
- Cinema of the United States
- List of Film Studios
- Films by Studio
- 20th Century Fox Films
- Home Alone (movie) (This page mentions the existence of the video game, but doesn’t link to it directly.)
- Super Nintendo Entertainment System
- List of SNES Games
- Home Alone (video game)
I said to myself, “Well, that was unlucky… Let’s try another two, and see if we get something better.”
The next two random pages were Melbourne Club and Behrouz Safarzadeh.
I don’t think I like this game.
