if you're a fan of games that like screwing with your mind, try 'I Wanna Be The Guy' or 'Avernum 5'. i've played Avernum 5 myself. it's the most genre savvy game i've EVER played, and it's hilarious. for example, it has a huge amount of schmuck bate: you know you shouldn't ring the gong... it's obviously a really really stupid idea... it really isn't going to get you anywhere... aw, GODDAMMIT! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

nice going, dumbass. did you really expect anything nice and fancy? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

then, at the very end, the game gives you a gong exactly like all the others... which does nothing at all. it's so unpredictably frustrating it loops right round into funny.

well yeah, but it's a great source of self-humor. i don't know how many times i had a i-can't-believe-i-fell-for-that moment.

seriously, it loves screwing you over. here's another example, which comes completely without warning:

"you see a corpse, the bones completely and cleanly stripped of flesh. there is only one monster so thorough in it's eating. a monster which is, coincidentally, crawling out of the lake next to you right now."

...

aw, man! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

the most stupid thing was that i fell for it TWICE. i took care to remember that place so i could avoid it, but it happened to be right at the lower edge of the map section. when i got there after i had started a new game, i came from below, so i stumbled right into that trap AGAIN. :
