What the hell, Mr. Cavanagh. What the hell.

I'm so sorry

I swear, this reminds me of that "Rejected" animation where the animator slowly descends into madness, and his creations make less and less sense as they go.

I love it.

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

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.

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.

Ahahaha! I love it! And the comment was amazing.

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.

Terry · April 19, 2010, 05:29:50 PM

Possibly! It's far from easy, though.

Hey, at least it's a decent, honest action game, not a strange nongame like bridge, nottub and gdc. This and Envy are at the top of post-VVVVVV. Well, the musicification of Maverick Bus would be the best one.

And my fears of Terry's descent into Hertzfeldt-esque madness is confirmed with memrrtiks, suashem.

Why the epilepsy, Terry? Why?!

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

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.

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

Funny coincidence. Just this tuesday, I remembered the classic review, googled it and played the game a bit. Then this topic is resurrected.
