Reese derps around with BlackHole's Fortune GAWK Script, originally used as a perl IRC plugin.

2025 EDIT: This was a peek behind the curtain to how the sauce was made. I would use this script to pick random games from a "Virtual Fishbowl", which was a massive 4MB text file with the list of games.

This DOS program was also used to pick the names of those who would win the Steam codes that night; I would get the names from the chat, enter them into the text file, and then run the script.

This script was also responsible for choosing an obscure DOS game which I streamed on Twitch, but didn't keep because it was a bad LP and I couldn't understand how the game worked, and had a really hard time understanding how to pronounce the NPCs' names.
