Surgeon Simulator: Inside the World's Hardest Game
An anonymous reader writes "In the space of a few short months, Surgeon Simulator 2013 has attained cult status. A sort of spiritual successor to the maddening QWOP, the PC game requires you to operate the individual fingers of a hapless surgeon in an increasingly absurd set of gore-filled scenarios. What's so remarkable is the turnaround time: the initial prototype came out of a 48-hour game jam, and was released as a commercial game just a month and a half later. A new profile of the studio's founder looks at how Bossa Studios, the London-based development team behind SS 2013, iterates so quickly, as well as what's next from the team, including an iPad version of Surgeon Simulator, and a cross platform MOBA that's half League of Legends, half Mario Kart battle mode."
I just googled that, cause I was curious what kind of game it is (games sites are obviously and reasonably blocked at work). I learned that there are apparently 3 such games in the series - they can't *all* be the world's hardest game...
If you aren't familiar with the game, some months ago Kikoskia made a quite funny clip about the gameplay.
I've found that I play better the drunker I get. After ten beers the zero-G heart transplant was a breeze.
Inside the World's Hardest Game
It's like, the worst habit _ever_ to use, like, so many super duper words, like in, like the "hardest game _ever_", as if! It's like OMG how do they know that, WTF?? I was like, no way it's the hardest ever.
Seriously, can we do away with unsupported high school superlatives such as "world's hardest", "best ever", etc.?
Oops, I forgot, this is slashdot, editors are morons.
RageQuit's gameplay video shows how to do magic in Surgeon Simulator 2013.
I welcome our new 99% overlords.
