Title: Of the following things, what exists because it does?
Post by: Barry Egan on October 29, 2014, 02:52:06 PM
Keep in mind that I only mean things that exist because they do,not because someone says they do.

I've seen Mouse Trap with my own eyes but like internet death threats those may be fooling me, so I don't know what to put :'(

Mousetrap does exist, but I have never in my life came across one that actually works.

I kind of want to copypasta the American Party of Labor's "dumbed down" explanation of diamat itt.

Jaydubya knows to ignore this line attack because it's exactly where the posture of being reasonable breaks in two (for all classical liberals, not just him). 

Did anyone actually play mousetrap?  From what I remember it was a game that looked cool but actually sucked and/or was fundamentally broken.

I did. It fucking sucks.

You play the game twice. The first time you build the mousetrap while moving pieces along a board and the second time you move your pieces along the board while trying to not get caught by the mousetrap. That the mousetrap doesn't even consistently work just makes the aleatory nature of the game all the more unbearable.

I thought the fact that it doesn't always work was one of the best parts of the game. You're in the crosshairs, your opponent triggers the trap, you've essentially lost the game, but then the marble goes off the rails somewhere and everyone's all like :ufup, :umad, and :bolo.

Also, I would like an "ethics in games journalism" option and for the poll to be reset, or I will have your family tossed into a wood chipper.

It would be cool if the rest of the game wasn't skill-less Candy Land :trash tier. Instead it just accentuates that.

e: I will agree however that the :ufup s are the only part of Mousetrap one might be able to derive any pleasure from.
