    Edit: @Luchaire just seen the post! That is terrifyingly well timed. I was referring to in game. If you manage to answer the phone you get a funny conversion. I'm still trying to get the floppy disk into the computer Dove to see if it actually does anything.

    I did manage to answer the phone. Unfortunately my sound seems to be whacked and I couldn't understand what he was saying. I do hope he'll call back... and that it wasn't the guy whose kidney I just ripped from his body and lobbed across the room while hunting for his heart.

    Also, ribcages. They are problematic.

    I haven't played the game yet or anything, just read up on it... but isn't that what the hammer is for?

    Does the game have a crowbar? That might also work.

    If you get a good grip on the little circular saw, a combination of dipping carefully and adjusting your hand rotation works really well for removing the ribcage.

    Can you leave Mentos in the chest cavity of your patients?

    That's about the only thing you can't leave there. Well, not counting the organs. You don't generally leave those in there either, even when you're done. I'm still not sure how Bob lived after I threw both lungs on the floor, bobbled his stomach across a table, shattered his ribs into dust with a hammer, and replaced his heart by plopping it into the approximate spot of his old heart and calling it a day. But hey, another successful operation, beers are on me, let's celebrate! Let me just inject myself with whatever is in this blue syringe first...

    Ok so the video for Surgeon Simulator is hilarious, but is it worth the 7 dollars? I just want to make sure it has some meat (or flesh) on its bones and isn't too much of a novelty.

    Organisms will evolve to adapt to adverse circumstances and become stronger for it.

    You've just helped parent a new breed of humanity - one that no longer needs lungs, a stomach, or a rib cage, and a heart that now rests in a slightly different position.

    But there's no adaption to having a junior mint lodged in their spinal column. 2/10, would not recommend. Patch in junior mint support, and I will revise.

    $7 is about the cost of a movie ticket. A typical movie is, what, two hours?

    I can pretty safely promise at least two hours of entertainment out of this. Along with some busted ribs from laughing. And possibly a broken mouse from throwing it at the monitor.

    I still haven't succeeded at an operation yet. But I did use a power drill and make a spinning lung popsicle.

    Yeah, it would be pretty criminal not to spend the 6 bucks on this thing. I've never played a game where intentionally clumsy controls are so outrageously hilarious.

    Okay, quick question about Big Picture mode. I get my video to the TV OK, but the sound is still coming from my PC speakers and not my surround sound. I've tried making the TV my 'sole source' for video output, hoping it would funnel the sound as well but no go.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    I am. Just figured it out, actually. Had to change the output method in Windows 7. I thought it'd be smart enough to automatically roll to HDMI if it detected a signal, but I guess not. Oh well.

    Sounds to me like you need to set your audio device rather than your video device. Options should be under control panel, then audio. There's also some software that lets you toggle between if you want to do it faster. I used some a while ago for toggling between HDMI TV audio output and headphones.

    @mere_immortal You are a champ for giving me Darksiders. Thanks for adding a little class to this world.

    Hah enjoy man, actually just finished the second one now. Good fun but it drags along a bit in the final quarter, the first is easily the better game.

    Right click on the little speaker icon in the bottom right, Volume control options, and pick the one.

But hey, another successful operation, beers are on me, let's celebrate! Let me just inject myself with whatever is in this blue syringe first...

    I'm reminded of that Far Side comic of an OR where an organ is flying through the air and one doctor says "Woah, hey! Somebody watch where that lands, we might need it later!"

    So did this Surgeon Simulator game start out as the comedic thing it ended up as? The impression I got early on was that it was just a bad game, but all this junior mint talk clearly means they're embracing it. Like how Tommy Wiseau tries to claim The Room was meant to be a comedy these days.

    It is a bit like QWOPS but expanded and went into an actual game, I think at one point it was a F2P game with only one level (heart transplant)

    I said this elsewhere already, but they should add a second hand and co-op, where one player controls the left hand and the other player controls the right hand. The resulting chaos would be epic.

    30-40 hours the first time through, I'd say.

    But there is a point in the story where the game branches off into two entirely different plots, which will mean two playthroughs at minimum.
