It isn't just a game.

It is also a punchline.

So, you're probably thinking, "Gee, Uncle Retard, what's with the old-ass comic that isn't really funny to anyone except the seven neckbearded dudes wearing fedoras and browncoats who actually played that shitty game in the first place?"

Well, if you'd shut the fuck up for a second, I'd fucking tell you.

Jesus.

Daikatana, the game that made John Romero the fucking laughing stock of the PC gaming industry, is not only singularly fucking horrible and terrible and shit-guzzling mediocre.

No, it is more than that.

It is free.

That's right. In a gross, misguided attempt to punish you for your sins, Gametap is now making Daikatana playable, for free, as in ZERO DOLLARS, AMERICAN OR OTHERWISE, throughout the entire month of December.

This is a game that cost thirty million motherfucking dollars to produce. And, I'm willing to bet, not even giving it away will be enough to make you play it.

Am I right?

    I left my computer on campus, so I don't have any of my games. I can't find any of our video games here, so I can't play video games. I didn't have space for any of my books in my bags. So I literally have nothing to do.

    And even I'm not going to play Daikatana.

    I honestly thought about playing this.

    But then I remembered when I played it on the N64.

    I think I remember some frogs attacking me.

    Also, it's not worth the hassle.

    they also have Psychonauts, Hitman 1, 2 and 3, Thief: Deadly Shadows, Sam & Max: Episode 1, and that Jaws game available for free play through the end of the year.

    Wasn't this game supposed to be revolutionary in that it used a sword in an eff-pee-ess?

    I got it on the 64

    Also my parents computer can't even run flash games and my little brother is a wow addict so I can't use his except when he's at work/school, so I can't anyway, but it doesn't sound as cool.
