Well, FFS, if it doesn't go "whee!" when I type "jump" then it's not worth my time.

I was very disappointed when I saw pictures of the various World's Largest Balls of Twine, and they weren't nearly as big as the one from Sam & Max Hit the Road

I hoped this would be a Giant Ball Of Twine game built with Twine, but this is very good too.

Yeah, I appreciated them offering curated starting points, because a lot of places (including, alas, Darwin as it turns out) end up being dead ends.

Unfortunately Morocco simply disappeared when I tried to drop it at the Phillips Collection (sorry about that, Moroccans). I do have a Rothko in my inventory now, however.

This is so cool! I'm trying to get from LA to SF, but I keep running into dead ends. Guess I'll meander a little more.

I went from the Peter Parker House southeast into the Presidential Emergency Operations Center, and now I can't seem to get out of the White House.
I have the troubling sense that I am about to be eaten by Agnew.
