You've been teleported to a futuristic, poverty-stricken dictatorship. But it's not that bad, really. You've still got your bedroom, which was kidnapped with you And your slippers and nightwear. And a CD and door handle. There's even another human being on the same floor as you. All things considered, you should do just fine.

Out of Order (http://outoforder.adventuredevelopers.com/) is a cute, hilarious adventure game remniscent of the old titles such as Sam and Max and the Space Quest series. It's got some good characters, nice graphics, and good musical score. It's also quite awesome and incredibly hard game-play-wise. And best of all, it's free of charge.

I've gotten relatively far, but I don't think I'm more than half-way through. You can be stuck in this game for an eternity and then suddenly go, "Wow! That's what I'm supposed to do!" and then jump ahead... And get stuck again. The game can be more challenging than trying to explain to a Creationist that the theory of evolution is not responsible for divorce, 9/11, his doggie getting run over, or the increased rates of narcotics abuse in Taiwan.

The only thing bad with it is an apparent total lack of submarines:cry:. It's still worthy of a try, though. Go get it and see if you can finish it before I do:arrgh!:!

I think my favorite "character" so far is the manic computer guarding the door outside the big auditorium. The Human Public Address System is quite nice, too, I want one:rotfl:.

And my favorite conversation is the one with the computer outside jjones-jjjones' appartment about video games. It goes something like...

Main character: "Can I play minesweeper on you?"
Computer: "Nope, fat chance. I'm not a games computer. And why play video games, you can play in real life!"
Main character: "So you're suggesting I go jump into a field of real mines?"
Computer: "No... Wait, when you mention it..." [insert evil smiley here]
