“I’m Adam Coate, developer of Flytrap; I’m commenting because I noticed you gave my game a negative review. ”

Haha jesus. I am so tempted to give his game a bad review and see if he comes to my blog to defend himself.

Adam,

I’m as guilty as anyone at having some fun/being entertained by all this.

But if you happen to release a windows version (I don’t have an Xbox) & send me a working demo, I’d happily give it a fair review.

Yeah I figured someone would say that, but no, it wasn’t me. It’s too bad the generic “John” didn’t just use his full name, but whatever.

John, thanks for the positive comments about Flytrap.

The trailer for Flytrap will be up in the next two days; I’ll post the youtube link here once it’s uploaded. I’m glad to keep you all entertained; you may not think it possible, but the game itself will do an even better job of this.

So pretty much “John” above is Adam. People may enjoy the game but the only one to think it’s the most innovative game either has been in a closet since the 80s or is Adam Coate.

Listen man, I played Fly Trap and it is in fact an incredible game. He just needed to get the word out about it. The game is probably one of the most innovative games I’ve played in a long time.

Glad my top 5 kept you entertained Megan.
There’s *nothing* like a “Scoobydo-style baddie unmasking” to liven things up.

Gabe’s motivational poster FTW. (also, your comment with the numbered list. #5 made me laugh out loud for quite some time.)

Now we need an appropriate LOLCat to really bring it all together! :D
