"the same fundamental flaw as the first one"

submission: Hedgehog Launch 2

date: July 8, 2009

Do you know what the biggest flaw in this as well as the first game is? No, it's not that the moon is not a mere 2 miles up, nor that Mars is not a 3, not that the threshold to space is not 4500 feet high, nor that you can't get something 4500 feet in the air by throwing it up at 150 miles per hour even without any air resistance either. It isn't that if you DID get something up to the moon or mars, it wouldn't "fall back" to Earth. It isn't that carrying "comrades" with you down just to the center of the Earth wouldn't make you fall any faster (that whole bit about 2 rocks of unequal weight falling at the same rate). Nor is it that an island in the Carribean isn't on the opposite side of the planet as Nebraska so that wouldn't be the exit point after falling though the Earth's core. It isn't even that you can't keep "there", "their" and "they're" straight on the second note. No, though these obnoxious attributes are of course plenty stupid and obvious. No, the big flaw of this game is the exact opposite problem all those "classic" games (asteroids, space invaders, missile command) had. There was no way to win those games. And there's no way to lose this one. It doesn't qualify as a "game" in other words. A game is something you can win and something you can lose. I'm amazed that you incorporated the same fundamental flaw into the second one that you did the first.

"why isn't the "L" backwards in "YALP"?"

submission: Dinner with Frenchie

date: July 8, 2009

All the other letters are backwards in the starting screen. Why not the L?

Anyway, I like this because the second matrix movie was so incredibly stupid and hard to stand. The only thing good was the MTV movie awards special feature. You somehow made them all even dumber than they were in the movie. That's quite an accomplishment.

"I'm with lovecraft"

submission: Cutethulhu

date: July 8, 2009

I'm really with HP Lovecraft on this one. I was really hoping "Cutethulu" would come to life and hack them all to bits, but that ending is pretty good too.
