I’m going to pimp ‘Make It Good’ at this point, too, because it’s probably the best IF I played this year.

This monster’s grammar is monstrous! “Seriously, this games journo thing is as easy as taking candy (and their tiny, defenceless heads)…” I’ve not heard of a candy whose head you can take. That makes no sense.

Unless it’s a PEZ Dispenser.

You may be right, but I think this is something more sinister.

Kieron was not a man . . . but a curse, that has been passed down from game journalist to game journalist since a botched occult experiment released it in 1873. The monster has destroyed its present incarnation, but I feel it’s well on its way to becoming the next Kieron by now.

The signs are all there: self referential snark, meta-commentary about the medium . . . I predict that we’ll see some manner of “manifesto” within a week, fueled by a deep, nagging discontent and a generous quantity of alcohol.

It’s all downhill from here, really.

@Bhazor
My neighbor’s teenaged son does the same thing. I’ll take the monster.

He’s making the whole monster thing seem very appealing to me. Are there any of the good bits left that I could try? I’m thinking of converting.

I hear fingers are good for the eyes.

Now I’m not a racist but I wouldn’t an unstoppable blood thirsty monster who hungers human flesh living next door to me. I hear they have raucous parties and leave sofas on their lawn.

I’d suggest soy person substitute for colesterol reasons, but that would make me a hypocrite.

So what if they eat people? Are they not allowed to survive, as well?

The discrimination is sickening.

Monsters are so responsible and thoughtful these days! A true model minority. I’m happy we live in such a multi species society.
