Description

This is a game between me and fatheroctopus. Not much to say here, except, sometimes this game reaches for really esoteric abilities of the human mind :P Incidentally, one thing I like about SpyParty is that I don't really have to fish too much for these great games with interesting stories. Like, I just load it up, play a game, and bam, I have something commentary-worthy. Disclaimer: Chris Hecker didn't make the intro and outro, I did, to cover up the fact that cropping and resizing my videos like I do destroys his menus and end-of-game analysis. So, if you find it too gaudy, well, it's my fault not his :P Standard Gushing about SpyParty: This is a really amazing game. But in the same way chess isn't really a board game but instead two human brains fighting with their analysis and planning abilities, or poker isn't really a card game but instead a group of human brains fighting with their deception and statistics abilities, SpyParty isn't really a video game but instead two human brains fighting with their deception and analysis abilities. It's not a game for itself, but a medium for intellectuals to compete. I think it's going to last for decades.
