I know all of my loyal readers who get their internet games solely from my blog posts were disappointed last week. My apologies, writing actual printed words got in the way. Won’t happen again.
To make up for it I have a gaggle of games all made by Molleindustria, an Italian team that specializes in fun as biting social commentary. Everything from direct statements against big oil and megacorporations to more artistic presentations of communist revolutions. Some of the games are purposefully frustrating (eg., the copyright/freedom of ideas game) while others show the downside of success in a corrupt world (eg., the McDonald’s game).
Share with all your radical friends (meaning “pinko,” not necessarily “totally awesome”) or just piss off your right-wing peeps with a quick and easy statement about what laissez-faire capitalism gets you.
Regardless of whether you win or lose, you finish the game with a better-than-thou attitude because you “get it.” And you can ride that jerk wave all day and hold your big head high. I know I am.
Click here to choose your game and start playing your way to a cleaner conscience.
Molleindustria also has a few things to say about religion … and they aren’t good. Operation: Pedopriest and Faith Fighter will either make you laugh or write a letter to Congress.
Enjoy.
