Seriously, Psychonauts is one of the best games I’ve ever played, but I now use “Meat Circus” as an adjective to describe an immense clusterfuck. For the non-gamers I describe it as “climbing a rope, but there’s some asshole with a winch lowering the rope just slightly faster than you can climb.” But I have to echo Yahtzee’s sentiments in that you should buy Psychonauts fucking yesterday. If (and only if) you have a reliable gamepad for your PC, the game is on Steam, as well as a free demo if you’re still not convinced after the Dark Lord Croshaw hath spoken. Otherwise, you can likely find it used for cheap for the Xbox or PS2, and my brother in law tells me that it runs fine on his 360. (After telling me, at length, that it was about time I bought the fucking game.) But for the love of christ don’t use the mouse and keyboard.

Also, Ficlets is really cool, but I really need to go to work so I can’t actually detail why. Meat Circus fucks me again.
