How do they get the creme filling into Twinkees?

What is it about the green M&Ms?

Why is Diablo considered to be the modern descendant of Rogue-like games, such as Nethack, when games like Azure Dreams, Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon 2, and Torneko: The Last Hope have gameplay concepts nearly identical to Rogue?

	First, injection. For all intents and purpose, creme-filled caulk guns. You can see the injection points on the bottoms of the Twinkies.

> Professor Utonium

Second, traditional association with the color green and envy. That, and green is just a hot, hot color.

And lastly, because, even though the latter games are closer cousins to Rogue in terms of gameplay, they're also all console games, whereas Diablo is a PC game, and therefore many probably feel a closer kinship to it.
