Reviews for "SOPANOID"
SOPA really dose ruin everything
Like SOPA would make the internet, this game is utterly useless. But is an excellent visual as to the affects of SOPA.
Want to see something funny?
Probably doesn't belong on the front page
I appreciate this, and it actually did make me laugh. However, I don't think this really deserves a spot on the front page.
One of the previous reviewers (the one that you completely tore apart) mentioned that a flash movie/game can become much more popular than it normally would have, considering the effort it took to make it, if it pertains to a topic in current events. This game, is an example.
PS: I am pretty positive that I removed all the blocks, but nothing happened, as you implied in a previous review.

Oh, yeah Tom puts topically relevant stuff on the front page. He does it for April Fools Day and Christmas n all sorts of stuff, it's no big secret.
I'm not here to cheese my way to Daily 5th or anything, I just literally made this in like half an hour on the day and thought it was funny.
Yeah nothing happens if you win, the joke is the censor bar. That's the joke.
The funny thing is that I barely care about all this SOPA stuff, and this game's clearly preaching to a choir that's already chose their side. If anything, I accidentally made a game that's in SUPPORT of SOPA, because it's censoring a free emulated version of Arkanoid, which is a copyright-protected game.
I think the way everyone's jumping on this FREEDOM bandwagon is pretty hilarious, as if every average joe is a white knight in shining armour cos he said YO MAN PIRATE BAY IS FUCKIN SICK, THE GOVERNMENT CAN EAT A DICK!!
I changed my company's twitter avatar to "SOPA RULES!!!" and tweeted about how we support sopa and everyone else can fuckin sit on it, and that got some funny reactions. I was genuinely surprised that nobody else was doing that joke.
Looking back, I wish I would've made a game that made fun of how the internet was reacting to this whole thing. I think that would've been smarter, more true to what I was actually thinking about, and more unique. Making a game about internet censorship was juts a pretty easy target.
BUT I made it in like 30 minutes, so WHATA YA GONNA DO lol!
Follow your own advice...
I find it quite amusing that in the AUTHOR COMMENTS area you wrote:
"...and it would've bin a lot smarter..."
Ahem, the word you're looking for is 'been'. It would've BEEN smarter...
If you're trying to make a solid point or represent your own opinion, try to at least look somewhat intelligent or people will take you for a fool; no matter how much they may agree with you.
That aside, glad to see SOPA has seen some opposition.
I-smel responds:
I'm not opposing SOPA, I'm just saying there's more than one point to make.
And I write the same way I talk in real life. For example nobody says "people will take you for a fool" in real life. Not many people say "been" either.
SOPA failed to pass, but we can start making games about ACTA now :D
Agreeing with Funsoms, MAKE AN UNCUT VERSION :o
