New Mac Game Permanently Deletes Your Files... Like It's Supposed To

[treble26]

sounds like fun. gonna install it on my brothers mac and see what he thinks after he deletes a few files. lol

If only you could get the files back for winning... Say you score 1000 points, you get your deleted cookie back, score 10,000 and you get a Word document back, etc.

hardcore gamblers beware...

Wait, mac users have a thirst for danger?! This is the same group of people that use macs because they are less likely to get viruses, don't crash as much (LOL), and all this other crap. I thing the writer used his ability to embellish the truth a little too much.

From the author's homepage:
"Although touching aliens will cause the player to lose the game, and killing aliens awards points, the aliens will never actually fire at the player. This calls into question the player's mission, which is never explicitly stated, only hinted at through classic game mechanics. Is the player supposed to be an aggressor? Or merely an observer, traversing through a dangerous land?

Why do we assume that because we are given a weapon an awarded for using it, that doing so is right?"

If I understand correctly the idea of the game is not killing alien because you have a weapon, but just see them living or something like that...

I've always said that Space Invaders is mass genocide. All they did was keep moving down line by line. It's WAAAY more violent than Doom, where they were all dead zombies or demon monsters.

Why would it delete files if you destroy aliens? Why make punishment for playing correctly? I thought it would only delete files when you die or something...

its called Lose/Lose

its self explanatory

[grrlwonder]
