I love it. :D

Post by: nathanel on April 18, 2010, 07:23:16 pm: Why does it read one of the comments aloud? First I thought that it was my Opera's voice features gone wild, but the same comment is read in IE. Is it part the game that I don't understand? :D Also I've noticed this voice sounds very much like GlaDOS. =)

VAgentZero, great comparison! :D

Post by: StephenM3 on April 18, 2010, 07:56:34 pm: I think it actually just voiced a nonexistant comment, but someone copied it into their own comment as a joke. For instance, I don't think a computer voice that would know to interpret "SFX" as "Sound Effects".

It would be really awesome though if you could somehow program a flash game to read aloud a random recent comment.

Post by: Terry on April 18, 2010, 08:02:55 pm: The comment thing (which I think is easily the best thing about the game) was added after the game was posted. I was totally flabbergasted by that comment! Had to include it somehow. :vermillion:

Post by: StephenM3 on April 19, 2010, 08:51:17 am: Is it possible for Flash to actually parse a web page and, for instance, choose a random recent comment to read aloud? Because that would be magnificent.

Post by: Terry on April 19, 2010, 05:29:50 pm: Possibly! It's far from easy, though.

Why the epilepsy, Terry? Why?!

Post by: Mushyrulez on June 17, 2010, 10:34:18 pm: I'm amazed someone didn't post a review of this game yet.
Well, for me, I think that it's an interesting concept, though not entirely new. Some direction would be nice, but I was able to figure out the game. Lose the annoying SFX. In all, 3/5

Post by: Whirligig on January 06, 2011, 10:03:37 pm: One time, there was a World of Warcraft ad playing on Kongregate while the game was loading, and the voice started talking. It sounded like it was reviewing WoW. :P

Interesting concept, though not entirely new. Some direction ... meh, never mind.

Post by: The Brass on January 15, 2011, 01:10:45 am: Funny coincidence. Just this tuesday, I remembered the classic review, googled it and played the game a bit. Then this topic is resurrected.
