I hope it's not the 100 episodes they had up for free on their site that they've since removed bundled together.

^ I doubt it, the article said it had something like 15 hours of gameplay, which I'm guessing is probably more than 100 questions.

More like 500 questions + 200 bonus rounds. You could probably fill up a game with that.

Try the free demo.

I've never played one of these before, but i think I'll get the game.

Considering this game is a Troll and hates everything you stand for, your call if you want to play, I guess. I just don't understand why this game was made; because they hate the player?

To understand, I played this game when it first came out. And the game's design made me think-and still do-that the designers hate the player. Mainly because I am pretty smart and narratively contextual-as I assume anyone who decided to play the game is-and I didn't need to be insulted.

I think the point and appeal of the original game flew clean over your head.

(or maybe it didn't, my memory failed when I tried to elaborate here. does anyone else remember the old games?)

See, that's probably right. Because the point I saw was to be humorous, but at the extent and harm of the player? I don't really get it, and I'm trying to.

Where's the harm to the player? You're only insulted if you get your answers wrong or lose lots of money. And what DID you expect from a game with a name like that? That it would hold your hand and whisper sweet nothings in your ear? Fat chance =)

Then what's the point of trolling the player because we didn't know? I mean, it's not like we're stupid.

Because since the game's questions rely heavily on Pop-Cultural Osmosis and You Should Know This Already (for the most part, the framing of the question is irrelevant, because while it might reference Jersey Shore, it's really a geography question, etc.), you have to have been living under a rock far removed from books, basic school education, television and the Interwebs (okay, not so much when the first game came out, but I was still learning English back then and STILL didn't have that much problems) to get insulted often enough to become offended. No offense, of course.
