If games aren't art, I'll shit my pants


Sharting will never be the same...

a tear-jerking masterpiece. yoko taro eat your heart for fucking supper

Timeless masterpiece that developers like Jonathan Blow only wish they could replicate. Still waiting for the Vaatividia lore series on this.

i shit my pants

I mean yeah, it is just a novelty game, but I think it's very interesting in terms of parodying adventure game mechanics where you have to do like all of these conscious, sequential steps and everything about it is so specific. Complicated instructions don't work, and your first instinct might be to type "shit" but you haven't dropped your pants and you aren't sitting on the toilet, so you shit your pants. The number of failure states possible in this is just part of the humour, but it's really just the absurdity of how conscious and specific everything you have to manually perform is.

They even have it so if you type in "kill" or "die" or "suicide" then your character just does exactly that, so they really thought of everything they could here. Really dug the 8-bit victory/failure state music in juxtaposition with the visuals as well.

You just know current game devs have played this and have it on the back of their mind while making their games.

funny dumb. text adventure where you try not to shit your pants, as the title implies. While the act of un-pants-shitting is the main goal of the game, the real fun comes in trying to discover every unique way you can avoid defecation within your trousers. The whole game is like 10 minutes (awesome).

What if I told you this is the closest a game has gotten to perfection in vision, and nothing else has come remotely close

I like to think the girls I made watch me play this thought I was cool.

In fairness, the thoughtfulness with regards to possible win/lose conditions does exhibit more foresight than most modern game devs seem to be able to muster.

The game is called Don't Shit Your Pants but to achieve the true end you need to shit your pants multiple times. I would call this bad games design.

a classic that i used to think was the holy grail of choice based video games when i was a kid

and im still right

The most relatable video game character.

OH SHIT!!! IM GONNA SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!

"The game hasn't started yet but you couldn't help yourself.

You just shit your pants.

Game over."

A short, but enlightening adventure that changed my impressionable young mind forever.


Honestly, this game was formative for me

A showing of some of the best, most thoughtful, most incredible feats that gaming has to offer.

I think it's safe to say that nothing nowadays can top this masterpiece from 2009, just absolutely astounding.

You can really see the inspiration for Rogue Legacy here.
