I wish the screen text presented a little larger, so we could better see the “Fart Frenzy” title, the “press fart” command and the predictable high score names. This joke is similar to an ongoing 30 Rock gag, where any time we actually see the show they make it’s something like a fart machine with too many farts in it. Marek’s passion work is still appealing to the lowest common denominator. I remember working out this entire game concept on a walk with Mike one day. It was one of those things I would’ve needed a nightmarish amount of ambition to develop, that a person recently married just doesn’t have, so you’ll have to believe me that it was an amazing idea that would’ve made millions. But to me nothing feels wealthier than a conversation that makes you laugh yourself to tears for 20 minutes straight and generates exactly zero content, revenue or discourse, as you throw it to the wind and move on with your day. |
