Minesweeper
Minesweeper is a game created by Microsoft. It's most likely what they were busy with while they were supposed to be making Vista. [Uh-oh! Someone making fun of Vista! Talk about edgy and untouched!]
Just The Facts
- Minesweeper is addictive.
- The question marks are useless.
- Vista and Windows 7 ruined it by killing off Smiley Guy.
- For some reason, any boredom you get from the game disappears when you should be working.
The Game
The point of the game is to sweep all of the mines. It's all about memorizing patterns and then using them with fast clicking. You'll be very satisfied if you'd enjoy being a robot slave.
Hmm. Apparently it would be like The Bodyguard.
The whole "robot slave" complex is not helped by the gameplay consisting of clicking numbered boxes. The number on a box is the number of mines in the eight boxes surrounding the numbered box. It may seem like I'm being redundant, but this game is seriously just boxes. Well, those and...
Smiley Guy
This is the only character in the game. He (yeah, I know, it might be a she, but we have to use PacMan logic and there's no visible bow or lipstick) shows genuine care for you, the player. Whenever you click a box which might be a dangerous mine (every single box), he has a panic attack.
Calm down. I got this.
But what makes it all worth it for both him and you is that in the end, to celebrate your win, HE PUTS ON SHADES.
Great work, but this one's all MINE.
YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
That's if you don't FAIL, of course...
Avenge.... me...
Actually, now that we mention it...
