vim/vi fun tutorial info

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I just found these via a posting at lifehacker.com and wanted to let folks know. If you are trying to learn vim/vi, one of these fun tutorials may be of some help.

Interactive Vim tutorial:

VIM adventure game. Learn while playing a game:
VIM Adventures

Caveat: I just checked out VIM adventures and it is just 2 levels and you need to provide an e-mail address to register in order to go on to the 3rd level when it is available. Not very useful right now I'm afraid, but an interesting concept nonetheless.

For beginners, another great resource is the "Vim tutor" that is installed along with gvim. It's a text file that you open with vi or vim and follow along and edit right in place according to the instructions. Some folks at work found it very helpful to learn the basics.
