I thought the tutorial voice was a speech synthesizer at first.
Voice Actor: So, what sort of intonation are you looking for?
Sound Director:Avant-garde.
Voice actor? Sound director? This is Bad Rats we are talking about! Unless you are talking about the conversation that happened in the head of the probably schizophrenic mind that made the game.
Good lord. This LP is an engine of existential horror. At first I was thinking "Gosh, SmokeStacks is either lying or overreacting," but no. I understand now after watching Handgimp's preview of what's to come.
What would just be another awful game is elevated to soul-crushing heights by the cat's idle animations and the grating but cheery music. With the most pitiful look on his face, he pleads for freedom while awaiting death in the most disgusting and depraved ways possible and you are the clumsy executioner!
Just beat the first few levels of this game in the demo version. With the "solution" turned on, the game goes from impossible to somewhat more manageable.
edit: Also, the music sounded a lot like that NiN song.

The frustration in this game doesn't come from obtuse solutions, but the fact that the physics are inconsistent. Doing well ends up being mostly random instead of based on user skill/action.

That's what I've gathered so far. The one that I had the most trouble with was the one with the microwave, because the ball kept ending up in different places. Eventually, I just went against the tools the game gave me and jury rigged a ramp.

So, with help (read: ill-spirited encouragement) from a few of my Armadeaddon brethren, I just subjected (spite-gifted) an innocent albeit tragically oblivious man to Bad Rats.
It was a long process that ended in him downloading and playing it, then being apparently warned by @anoffday himself that he was about to enter the seventh depth of hell. As he came to the realization of what had been done to him, I came to the realization that I was a terrible, terrible man.
Sorry, @Waldo, but you don't just ask "What's Bad Rats" with no repercussions.

You're a monster. Thank God I was online. I'm making it my life's goal to protect the innocent from this horrible game. Whenever a poor lost soul is about to play this game, I will be there. Good will prevail.
I apologize for not posting part 2 tonight, but after working late and waiting at the car dealership immediately after work for an hour to get my damn plates, I just didn't have it in me. Either that or I don't hate myself enough today.

Okay so Waldo got fairly buttfurious over what happened. Sorry, mang. I will never do it again. I guess shame on me for being the guy to introduce you to the concept of spite-gifting.
If someone asks you "What is SARS?" that doesn't mean you go ahead and give them SARS.
What is buttsex?
From what I've seen so far this actually looks like a solid concept for a game (being basically TIM + violence), just executed in the worst possible way at every opportunity. The main thing that grates apart from the music is that fucking "cat" pitifully mewling away in the corner of the screen, looking like some sort of retarded... thing. I don't know what. It doesn't resemble any earthly creature I'm familiar with, least of all a cat. Honestly anoffday, you're doing it a favor by putting it out of its misery.
Nice try, people who are ashamed of having posted in a thread about Bad Rats and who have tried to cover it up by pretending they meant to post somewhere else.
I'm disappointed. This game simply looks like a bad game. From the way you guys were speaking, I expected it to be, like, the FATAL of videogames, unrelentingly terrible, instead of merely incompetent at everything it tries to do.

Select your racist stereotype, and then, select your cat.

We could donate copies of Borderlands2 just to taunt anoffday.

Fun story: once upon a time guy didn't show up to work, so we sent guy to check on him. He got there just in time to hear the shotgun.

Now I need part 2 to cheer me up!
It IS true that schadenfreude is the bestest freude!

Well, no of course not, because it wouldn't be funny. Spite-gifting someone a terrible game to watch them go "D:" is funny.
Also, "enjoying" the LP so far. By which I mean, revelling in your suffering and pain, like it was a fine wine.

Yeah, the similarity to TIM is the only good thing about Bad Rats. It's everything else that's terrible.
Steam Support is the worst. Seriously, the worst

Man, Yes! That is a great great game. I'm always curious about the ones I see on steam, crazy machines.
Too bad bad rats sucks at physics and gameplay, but excels in racism. I guess that's....something.

I'm hoping that will come in handy for whenever I get around to trying my hand at a Let's Play.
