^_^ or Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon

Why spend a night at the opera or spend yourself away on a day at the races when you can always stay home and play the latest freeware game by indie adventure maestro Ben Chandler? Why not simply be a good reader and download and enjoy the brilliantly surreal ^_^ in a flash? It's a delightfully odd take on werebunnies, vampires, turntables and witches, you know. One actually sporting excellent graphics, excellent animations and excellently loud humour. Oh, and the game isn't a walk in the park either. You be lazing with it for the better part of your Sunday afternoon before getting to them deeply postmodern credits. Download ^_^ here and ignore all those silly Queen references please.

  1. You know, I like to think they're the most postmodern meta-credits I've seen, but that's probably just my ego getting excited.

    Thanks for the lovely writeup, sir!

  2. Nurture your ego and overcome modesty; only then can perfection be achieved.

    Ignoring that, well, you are most welcome and thanks for the wonderful freebie.

  6. I'm pretty sure it isn't though, as no gnome I'm aware of touched any sort of settings. It did indeed come out of the blue. Then again, it might be some sort of template update... Or me using the new comments style.
