Good idea
This is a pretty creative and interactive game. The idea of hunger, money, and computer needs is is a good idea, as is the random phone calls. The graphics are a bit basic, and the guy walks too slow, but it's not that noticeable. You're right about newgrounds always being down, though :(

I suppose my only major complaint is that you should continue to develop this trend. Once you get the hang of the game, it's really pretty easy to beat. You just hit up the tank thing, say 7 tanks on screen w/ 2 or 3 to hit, and it's just a matter of going through the monotony to beat it. I'd say, for this to be a REALLY cool game, you should add more "needs" like bathroom, exercise, fresh air, and dare I say it, sex? And maybe some other obligations like a job, roomate, landlord, or something like that.

Overall, nice idea. Just work on making the game a bit harder and more complex, and this would be awesome!
