I was playing without my headphones on and almost flagged this post. My apologies. It is great.

The rope is a lie.

If you look real close you'll see a heart in the chandelier.
I didn't know how to use the weapons. I guess I shoulda read the manual first. Not that it mattered.
Now I'm a hero. Yay. What's next? Ooh. They got videos of this game at YouTube, I'll bet.

ProTip: Read the manual before you attempt to fight Grinning Colossus. I didn't even know I had the axe attack the first time I played.

Riddle me this, Batman! How come if an infinite number of axes can't take out the big bad, that one measley little chandelier does the trick? Huh? HUH!? I know you are, but what am I!? Of course, the truth is the game leaves you trapped inside the building with a broken chandelier and a rank grinning colossus carcass. Forever. Insert maniacal laughter here.
Game over, man! Game over!

Weirdly, I managed to kill it with the axes. No lie.

It's great how context can turn a mediocre song into something wunderbar. Fuck being that guy, I want to be this guy. He has all the cheat codes and knows how to work a bowler!

So, its like portal, but with a shorter game, and a funny song at the end.
Its like the reader's digest version of portal really.

If you leave it open in a tab for a couple hours, Jesus sings to you.

The MeFi guild Progress Quest raid is at 6:00. I don't want everyone getting distracted by this game and showing up late. Again.
