Remind me why I shouldn't be playing Sprung.
« on: January 30, 2006, 08:55:46 AM »
I don't know why, but I'm really getting into it.  o_0

It's not a dating sim like it looks like...it's a text adventure, more like...

That one date with Kiki was weird but intriguing.  I didn't think logic puzzles were what people do on dates. She mentions how she and her three friends have different favourites in colour, music, and flowers, and you have to create "sparks" in conversation so she'll give you clues to figure out what each of them like (and by extension, what she likes) to get her in the hot tub.  Prior to that, I had to talk to her boyfriend and extract enough evidence from the inconsistencies in his "testimony" to prove that he was cheating on her.  Phoenix Wright?  Not quite, but at least the writing was better than I expected, even if it is still cheesy in places.

Yeah, and I like Friday the 13th on the NES, too.  Shoot me.

SUPER liked it, too.  So apparently you're not the only one.

Reviews: Sprung
Reminder: Buy Sprung

I'd probably pick it up if I ever found it on sale for five bucks, but that's it.  I don't think I'm missing out on anything that absolutely must be played.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

Because, last I checked, god is still watching.

Actually, I am religious, or try to be, and I'm sure that if God took note of what I do with my time, He would be more concerned about my habit of trying to put porn on every electronic device that I have.  >_>

I bought it for $5 on clearance at Target. Haven't gotten a chance to play it yet though.

Okay, every electronic device capable of showing images and video.  I don't yet have an iPod Video, but I've already converted several files into the compatible formats so I'll be ready.

No porn toast, seeing as how it's not capable of images or video.  No kitchen appliances.  If I had one of those refrigerators with a built-in TV, I might be able to pull something off with that.

Okay, this is not something to brag about...  >_<

With god as my witness, I WILL create the porn toaster!

Which, of course, toasts pornographic images onto your bread.

It's not a dating sim like it looks like...it's a text adventure, more like...

That's what you get when someone who can't do romance (aka: anyone in the western videogame industry) tries to make a dating sim.

The other reason why you shouldn't be playing Sprung is because it's (for all intents and purposes) impossible to get past first base (kissing) on a Nintendo console. The DS promised to take us to second base (touching), but that was a cruel lie. Now the Rev's promising to take us to third base? Hah! Not a chance.

I'm willing to buy Sprung (and I did buy it), but I'm not willing to enjoy it. I must bitch and whine about it's wasted potential until Nintendo changes their attitude.

Pornographic refrigerator magnets. They work on toasters too.

Old and decrepit post bump! I found Sprung for $10 at Fred Meyer today, It's actually pretty entertaining so far. I only feel slightly ashamed of myself for playing a dating game.

We have the technology  If you can get weather on toast and Hello Kitty on toast...  Porn is only the future of toast art.   It is to be expected.
