@shandlerO_o: #HNRS353 Unmanned: some very basic minigames, some of which require you to click while continue doing the minigame, those were interesting – 22 Mar 12 23:29

@Bitter_Requiem: Spent works to build empathy for low-incomers so the player is worked into an empathetic, vulnerable state to donate. Well played. #HNRS35322 Mar 12 23:14

@shandlerO_o: #HNRS353 Dys4ia: I suppose the game could be used as something of a confidence provider for people going through a sex change…? – 22 Mar 12 23:12

@shandlerO_o: #HNRS353 Dys4ia: the game felt like a series of dull minigames (some of which you didnt even have to finish) and the music seemed not to fit – 22 Mar 12 23:11

@Bitter_Requiem: I liked Spent’s pacing. It’s effective. As your money gets depleted, the pressure gets to you and you make worse decisions faster. #HNRS35322 Mar 12 23:06

@Bitter_Requiem: Stop Disasters! was interesting. Very much a la SimCity, only played with intentions of a less dubious nature. Enjoyed it, actually.#HNRS35322 Mar 12 22:44

@dluc353: #hnrs353 Spent: gives ppl like me a small taste of the hardships of coming from low-income lifestyle. Easier to see why ppl do what they do. – 22 Mar 12 22:39
