Which Game Should I Buy?
A while back, I stumbled into a GAME store browsing for DS games. Taking a while due to the immense suggestion, a customer assistant monkey approached me.
"Is there anything I can assist you with?" he asked me.
"Why, yes!" I declared. "I'm looking for a new game for my Nintendo DS that will entertain me! Do you have any suggestions?"
"Not without knowing what it is you'd like, I'm afraid."
"Oh, I see ..."
"But you're in luck! Because if you just answer a few brief questions, I can make a suggestion that I feel will work for you perfectly!"
"Excellent!" I cried, leaping up a little bit. "Fire away!"
"Okay," he began, then brought out a clipboard he had been hiding. "Now, first question: would you like a game that emulates other successes but brings nothing new to the genre it resides within?"
"That sounds fantastic!"
"Excellent!" He made a few quick notes here. "Okay, next question: would you like a game with the most annoying, non-music-like soundtrack in the world that just playing it will make you want to kill yourself in any way possible, possibly even with the DS itself?"
I had to think about that one for a few moments, but at last I nodded and said that sounded good.
"Well, that's all the questions!" he said, replacing the clipboard behind his back. He then strode to the DS game display as I watched in anticipation, waiting.
"Zookeeper!" he announced, handing me a copy. "Enjoy it!"
And, of course, I didn't enjoy it. Because it's shit. Zookeeper is just fucking Bejeweled with shitty pictures of square animals and the worst soundtrack in the world! I will pay someone to take it off my hands, it's such a waste of time and space!
