I assumed the tunnel ended eventually, but I must've gone through like 20 screens of it, and couldn't tell if the end was going to be on screen 21 or 121, so I bailed.

I definitely had the sound off, I guess that would've told me?

There's an irrelevant narration of an imaginary, weird history of the sport of boxing, which adds another sentences or so every few screens that you're going in the right direction; this is the only real cue that it's not just a completely infinite journey in the deep.

Antivirus being overzealous maybe? Unpacked fine for me (though tbf haven't actually played it yet, was just excited by their youtube).

Ha, yeah, finally played it and the thing this game taught me is that the dudes at MIT must have a pretty warped perception of how powerful ordinary people's pcs are.

ran fine on this old thing even on the highest settings. it's very dull as a game tbh

Favorite random bit: during a random death on the minecart stage, Dikembe becomes fat and says "I'm fat now."

is the Dikembe game no longer available, or is my computer just being an asshole.

i second that, would love some last minute CP12 links in here. i am only now trying frog fractions for the first time in what feels like a very, very shallow pool this year -- it will prob make my ballot on account of that

waiting for actions to refresh is super annoying though, am i missing something
― facile cliff (jjjusten), Thursday, 3 January 2013 20:26 (eleven years ago) link
It's better than it used to be but it is incredibly annoying, yes. You have to get used to the whole 'play for five minutes, wait for five hours' thing; a lot of free games do this now and it makes me want to kill. Does FL really count as a game of this year, though?
Also, allow me to say FROG FRACTIONS just one more time.
― emil.y, Thursday, 3 January 2013 21:24 (eleven years ago) link
I think FL has been updated enough (including the new name and stuff) that it should count as this year... and it's definitely the kind of game you periodically check into instead of play in big chunks of time.
― Mordy, Thursday, 3 January 2013 21:51 (eleven years ago) link
Story Nexus might be the exact 2012 release... Tom Chick included FL on his list of best games here.
― Mordy, Thursday, 3 January 2013 21:52 (eleven years ago) link
the waiting killed FL for me pretty quickly, it seems more than a lot of these games to call for an immersive experience but never gives you time to get immersed, much less so than something like Kingdom of Loathing.
having said that, i'm curious to revisit because Tom Chick's review makes it sound a lot stronger than it was when it started.
― soma dude (Noodle Vague), Friday, 4 January 2013 09:57 (eleven years ago) link
Mordy (or anyone else), have you tried any of the other games on StoryNexus now they've opened it up for public development?

xp turns a webpage into a Marble Madness type game. Also if you have a phone that uses the Chrome browser, the phone can be used as a motion controller.

it's been over a month since i mentioned this, so i feel obligated to say that i am perhaps the best Marble Madness player of all time, at least on NES. i gotta check this out.

"turns a webpage into something that makes Chrome use all your CPU and doesn't do anything" is a more accurate summary of my experience so far, but it sounds p. cool
(my laptop is pretty underpowered for gaming, but more so than a phone? I hope not)

xp the phone is just used a controller for the game running on a PC/Mac, there's some weird pairing procedure to get them working together with the game. Although a mobile isn't actually required. However a fairly speedy computer is necessary (how fast? faster than mine apparently).
