Recently, clever and immaculately handsome blogsman King Kool gave Jer his least favorite game ever: Tidus the Fox on Game Boy Color. Someone challenged him to play it while playing Desert Bus, and he agreed. The chat found Jer’s original notorious review, and we challenged them to write their own 100 word reviews. There was a lot of good stuff, but this one from Seamus D. resonated with Jer strongly.

wont stop never stops can’t keep going keeps going but never goes anywhere where’s the ladder climb keep climbing stop drop and jump jump jump test what the testers couldn’t it wore them down minds cracking letting loose pixilated waves of chaos and leaving the shell the ruins of a metamorphosis creating nothing level one level two level one and it turns back in on itself again wide eyes the horrors of the infinite swallowing me nothing left now run don’t listen don’t look you can’t save me and it’s all ending in shadow but the backgrounds do look nice

Congrats, you won a Megaman crocheted Met hat!

This one had some really good entries. Here’s a few entries:

My Titus the Fox’s graphics are nothing like the sun;
Superman 64 is far more entertaining then this pox;
If Desert Bus be great, then for the children it shall be done;
If one were to like it, it’d be a great shock.
I have missed platforms so steadily, and hated with haste
But no such platforms will reappear with such miss,
And my nerves for fun do so remain chaste.
My frothy hatred a pixellated kiss.
Yet in this game I find a masochistic love;
For the dirty cartridge’s touch melts my heart,
I wish to sacrifice this piece of bus to the goddess above.
Da gameplay of 0.5 shows the game for truefound art..
And yet a game so bad can be richly played;
For it is for the children, and thus LRR is paid.

And this one from Drew:

I once went into the bathroom to release my bowels. I unleashed hell and stood up to examine my work. Upon the seeing it, I burst into flames from rage. I grabbed the specimen of death from the bowl and threw it into a paper shredder. I then put the paper shredder into an Aperture Science disposal chute. I threw the disposer into a larger shredder, then that into a portal to hell. And put the portal into an even bigger shredder. At the very core of this, was Titus the Fox. The game is shit. Don’t play it. Ever.

And finally, this entry from Bothan_Pilot, who didn’t die to bring us this information.

Every now and then a game comes along that re-defines the way you look at games, gaming and the culture thereof.  Before playing, Titus the Fox for Gameboy Colour, for example, I never would have thought that a mere child’s entertainment could impregnate me with the rage and fury necessary nail handguns to my arms, strap a kerosene tank to my spine, don pink swimming goggles and fly around my local shopping mall gunning down unwary shoppers whilst reciting passages from Edgar Alan Poe backwards and pledging my undying loyalty to Cthulu.  Well done, Titus the Fox, I love you.

Congrats to all the winners!
