The Ultimate Anti-Action Online Game: Waiting In Line 3D

Posted by timothy on from the desert-bus-for-bipeds dept.

Freshly Exhumed writes "Looking a lot like the venerable Wolfenstein 3D or similar Id action games of the DOS days, the new online game Waiting in Line 3D was released Monday by developer Rajeev Basu, and was played 50,000 times in its first 24 hours of activity... er... inactivity. Is the complete lack of any action a brilliant satire of computer gaming? Is it software-based performance art? Is it silly? Judge for yourself, if you can meet the challenge!" Now's a good time to confess if you spent a major portion of your post-Thanksgiving dinner recovery time camped out in line for some of those Black Friday come-ons.

    It's just a joke.

    You may as well punch yourself in the face for real. This just wasted 2 minutes of my life and the line never moved.

    Yes, I know. The realism is absolutely cutting edge.
