Spore - Are You Fucking Joking?

Spore, for those of you who don't know, is a game recently released by EA, and comes from the mind of Will Wright - the guy that brought us all those Sims games. We were promised a lot with spore: physical, metal, spiritual, and cultural evolution, eventually progressing to universal domination.

I Wanna be the Guy Cheats

I Wanna be the Guy is a another game in a new generation of what I like to call "frustration" games - they exist only for the purpose of frustrating the player at every turn, killing them at every opportunity.

Eventually, through repetition and memorization, players are able to beat these games; but, this generally takes several days as the games are often long and require pixel-perfect precision to complete.
