On a certain October evening about two years ago I described this game as “banger,” and frankly I would do so again even now. Even now I would add on to that review: “sick as heck,” “memorable as heck,” or even, “gaming.”
hey, nerds, ADIOS, my CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED video game about a man who decides to stop disposing of human bodies for the mob, is the LOWEST DISCOUNT it will EVER GO! 45% off! less than the cost of a wendy's mushroom burger meal!

Why does 'finding the fun' fail so often as a design strategy?
#gamedesign
New designers are told to prototype and 'find the fun'. But the naive version of this is a garbage tactic that mostly results in poorly thought out prototypes that are never going to converge on gameplay.
