Dysentery Has Never Been More Exciting
Behold So Long, Oregon, the Oregon Trail-inspired new iPhone/iPad game. Not only do you ramp yourself over the mountains, the meat is conveniently flying around so you can shoot them on the fly (literally). Despite the text at the end, the game is available this very second for $2 from iTunes. If I’m a little late this morning, it’s because I had to download it before I started work. I’m sure you understand. (Via Kotaku)
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
