Prisons are *supposed* to be about rehab. If they were solely for punishment they'd probably be unconstitutional. I did however say they did this poorly.
These days prisons *are* built & managed by private companies. Your experience was either a while ago, or you were incarcerated in the rare prison that doesn't contract everything out. My step-brother was a state corrections officer in Florida for years & they were the only part of the prison system that wasn't contracted out to a 3rd party. See also: Corrections Corp. of America, The Geo Group & Cornell Cos.
All that being said, I'm glad you made it out alive & functional.
It could do with a rethink of the "player dies if their friend pulls the screen too far" part (Gauntlet used to handle that exact situation much better nearly 20 years ago),
I was playing this game with my girlfriend's kid & having trouble getting thru one of the levels. He told me to grab a fireflower, picked me up & told me to just start shooting. He then completed the level while I was playing "gunner". Also, if player 2 or 3 knocks you into a pit accidentally, you can hit A to get into your floaty bubble so you don't die.
You've got it mixed up. Prisons in the US are for rehabilitation, not punishment. The sad fact is that they aren't very good at the former, probably due to being run by private companies that don't give a shit & are paid by headcount.
I forget which book it's in, but the name & appearance of this thing makes me think of the shapeshifting assassin-bot in one of Philip K. Dick's short stories.

I'm not in IT, but for the past 14 years I've helped design the networks that you do IT work over.
That's probably a corollary. :D
Hell, I don't buy their games now & they haven't had anything I've even been remotely interested in since Beyond Good & Evil in 2003.
It's just you. Personally, I think it's great to see someone get around Apple's AppStore on a non-hacked iPhone.
Don't you mean accountants & PhDs in Economics?
Maybe you are right, but I don't work in banking. The MBAs I know are mostly small to medium business owners.
They are the guys that are running said companies for the most part.
Yup. Unless it's an MBA, a degree doesn't mean crap in my industry other than you have student loan debt.

Press A. Problem solved.
You haven't actually played NSMBW, have you?
You are doing it wrong.

It's called the Law of Large Numbers folks. They've got the numbers, we don't.
They could have just said "No fucking games" and been done with it.
And then we could watch the riots ensue. Real bright.

They should just start LARPing & call it a play. Problem solved.
No, it's a circa 1984 BBS door-game that has been updated for MySpace & Facebook.
Prison is also supposed to rehabilitate. People like you forget that part.
$10 says that when you boil this down there is a silly bible-thumper at the root of this.
Holy shit! Do the bands you go see shoot gold confetti out over the audience or something?
Blue Man Group?
There is an XKCD for everything. Here is yours.

Ye Gods TA: Kingdoms was horrible. I had forgotten about that one, even though the box is still sitting on the bookshelf at home.
It's still selling fairly well.

The Batman / Star Wars / Indiana Jones LEGO games are pretty damn fun.
