Welp,

I put together an acounting system to help my parents. It was good. Basically I did what my mom couldn't do in months... in a single day.... This made her inredibly cursing and screaming and crying pissed. It seems she thinks that she had been tricked into wasting time.... She, somehow of course, blames my dad for this. Really, she's so invested in the idea of her own perfection and my sucking that she simply can't take that she failed, hard.

WTF? How about be happy you got some nice financial services from this and things will go better for you now? You're welcome?

[Neonivek]

Yeah...  I was bored and had hours to spend on it, and basically all I got was a colorful romp through a few worlds.  And maybe one item?

I never figured out how to actually progress, I didn't even realize there were many items.  Parts of it were really pretty to visit, though.

Quite a bit of it is "impossible" to figure out.

Progress Quest, the best MMO ever.

I assume this is sarcasm.

Yes, yes it is. Silly me, I forgot the font! :v

I find it kind of amusing to keep it open in another tab and flip back to it every now and then, though. I somehow have a sense of achievement over the computer giving itself a pie plate and -4 cracked ring mail.

I might enjoy it more if there was even a modicum of player interaction, beyond character creation. Even spells do absolutely nothing. It's quite possibly the most boring idle game in existence, which is an achievement in and of itself.

You are missing the point. The game is a parody of the eternal grindfests people are exposed to when playing MMOs.
It's also a pretty "good" parody of skyrim if you think about it...
(Yeah it's terrible as a game)

[Akura]

It's been around for, what? 15 years? At least as long as I've known the internet existed.

That makes sense, and the Info section certainly backs that up. I guess I was just hoping for something actually resembling gameplay here.

This must have been made by Brits; what they call humor almost never gets much of a reaction from me.

So, in real video game news: the sixth hardest NES game, according to GameFAQs, is a Sherlock Holmes game released exclusively in Japan. (Admittedly it only has 8 reviews, but none of those are lower than Tough and most of them are Unforgiving. :v)

From what MobyGames and Wikipedia tell me the game was apparently an action game where you had to beat up thugs and stuff to get cash and collect clues. Of course, you had to collect all of the clues, but you also had to get enough money to get a bar to 100% before you were allowed to win.

I can't tell if this is slightly insane or badass in its own way. I'll have to try it for myself sometime.

life is in a word, snow. seriously enough with the snow.

I've never even heard of this game and I'm no stranger to the obscure console games of old.

A lot of the top ten on that list are fairly understandable.  Ghosts & Goblins, Silver Surfer, Dragons Lair.  Jeckyll and Hyde is #8 and Battletoads is #9, not sure I agree with that.

#4 on that list is Somari the Adventurer, which from the images available there seems to be a bootleg mixture of sprites and artwork from Sonic and Mario.  Since most bootleg games are broken messes it wouldn't surprise me if that game really is #4.

Yeah, if you could dump several hundred tons of that stuff in the Sierra Nevadas, that'd be great. Thanks.
