Billy Mays reviews Annoyotron.

There is not a single redeemable quality in this vapid game, and should be avoided.

This was before you promised not to be mean to us, so I forgive you.

Who wrote this game, and why?

[pinback]

Me, because I thought it was funny.

Better luck with your next game?

By "next", I was referring to the next game you make, not the "next" game that you made.

Is there anyway you could add a long farting sound along with the message you get when the button in pressed?

[pinback]

Sure. It's Early Access, of course, so this is a good time for early adopters to provide the development process with exciting ideas for the final release.

You have GAINED A LEVEL!

[pinback]

There ya go, buddy!

There ya go, buddy!

I believe you just created the greatest interactive fiction game of all time!

[All my friends are fish]

Billy Mays updated the title of his review for this game to make it more catchy.

[pinback]

It really SHINES now!

[Jizaboz]

Outstanding work, Pinback. Sensational.

Games like this represent the worst of the worst in human society. Construction of the Gas Chambers at Auchwich and Dachau had greater value to human civilization. Its only purpose is to demonstrate how wonderful mass murder and suicide are to healthy people.

It is an example of the type of activity that is inexorably leading to the collapse of Western Civilization and to the downfall of humanity.

If there are worse creations in the depths of depravity, I would be hard pressed to name them.

For a change of pace, may I recommend the Sae franchise of motion picture films, which are more celebratory of the human spirit and less mean and nasty, and corrosive to the soul, than the piece of excrement this game constitutes.

And for $50 Pinback can buy an improved review.

This game has so contaminated my soul that I made a mistake in the previous article. I meant to say that a better class of movie than this game was the Saw franchise.

[Almost on board here]

I think what Paul is trying to say here is that he wants pinback to make a game about him next.

No, it meant that since everyone else was praising the ridiculous 1-click game that I decided to pile on the opprobrium of the game to be completely different.

Or a cheese pizza (hey, we are still in a recession!)

On Annoyotron, it was the third JoltCountry game (behind Necrotic Drift and No Time to Squeal) that I played and remember laughing myself into a stupor. I really don't get these reviews or thoughts that go beyond super ultra critical into just plain dorky in completely missing the point and tallying up the final product on how well that was accomplished.
