Watch in awe as a prick tries to be a spy, who is also a prick.

I still want to play this game, but it still cost too much.

But yeah, the sarcasm sucks. Wonderful.

In regards to the stinger: someone should totally create a game where you wake up in a hospital bed, and are given the option to pull the IV out, or hit the "nurse call" button. If you call the nurse, she assists you in getting out of bed. If you pull the IV, you black out and wake up with 1/2 your original health.

A good idea, but sound like that's to good for most games that get churned out these days.

But back to the video, good and funny. :D

I've seen a fair amount of this game, the protagonist is constantly a complete prick. That's quite an achievement given that its multiple choice.

It's another example of a good idea poorly implemented. Who on the development team was responsible for crafting the responses, I wonder?

The episode was good, though. I liked your reactions as that guy walked towards the monitor.
Just call me Dylan. It's easier to pronounce.
