Pandemic 2.
Posted by: Mr. Somebody | July 21, 2008 11:41 AM
Once I infected Madagascar (only because it was my starting location). I waited about hour for ship that spreaded my virus from that damned island.
Then New Zealand closed ports.

Uh...what's happening?

I always call my disease "Love" when I play. It gives the game a radically different tone.
Posted by: Terry | July 21, 2008 3:45 PM
The idea behind Pandemic is good but the execution is poor.
My disease has one symptom, coughing, it has killed nobody and in the news sidebar I see countries shutting down hospitals, countries closing ports, people panicking in the streets. And then it says that Africa is burning dead bodies to prevent infection. What dead bodies!? Nobody is dead! And then I get notified that scientists are developing a vaccine to cure the disease. What the hell?

Derek, what is your SA handle?
Posted by: Chinook | July 22, 2008 2:13 AM
So Mr. Tim
I take it you enjoy browsing /v/.
Posted by: Troy RULES | July 22, 2008 2:41 AM
No, I don't think it was /v/, I think he found it in my LJ. It was also on Digg (which is where I found it). Perhaps Digg found it on /v/?
Posted by: Paul Eres | July 22, 2008 9:50 AM
That's probable. Also are these depictions of black people not vaguely racist? I know that stuff is seen as perfectly ok on /v/...
Posted by: haowan | July 22, 2008 12:42 PM
There have been a lot of Pandemic II threads on /v/, most involving comics. Pretty much everyone comic has the same punchline though, "Madagascar closes its port" with an occasional Greenland joke.
Posted by: Troy RULES | July 22, 2008 1:41 PM
Nope, I've never browsed /v/. As Chinook implies, two of the images were acquired from SA.
Posted by: Tim | July 22, 2008 1:44 PM
Booyah! And sorry I called you Derek. I get my indie game web logs mixed up sometimes.
Posted by: Chinook | July 22, 2008 8:41 PM
There were lots more on /v/ lots of which were funnier than these. Oh well, thats what you get when you get your stuff from a fourth party.
