A friendly word from your friendly blogger

Hello, friends. It's your old pal Bart here, from This Man Must Be Stopped.com.

If you're anything like me, you enjoy flash-based games such as those on the Homestar Runner web site.

And, if you're anything like me, you also delight in the zany antics of Jesse Thorn and Jordan Morris on the wonderful podcast Jordan, Jesse, Go!. Except when they don't have enough sense to realize that the Danny DeVito Limoncello ad is a clever visual pun: he's not holding a lyre, or a mysterious Italian string instrument of undetermined make / model; it's a freaking cello! Lemon... cello... Limoncello!

Sorry, friends, I got a little sidetracked.

Well, as I said, if you're anything like me, and enjoy the previous things I've named, then you'll love the Jordan, Jesse Game! It's flash-based, which we've already established you like, and it's based on Jordan, Jesse, Go! Follow their wacky adventures from the comfort of your own screen.

Need further proof? How's about this here screen shot from the game?

 

Yes, that's Jordan and Jesse (holding his dog) aboard an alien spaceship speaking via view-screen with none other than John Hodgman! Notice the bottle of Dan Aykroyd Crystal Head Vodka and the picture of a hobo behind John Hodgman. That's the kind of detail you just won't get in other flash-based games that aren't based on the Jordan, Jesse, Go! podcast.

Now, I'm not saying this game is the next 'The Force Unleashed' or anything. Heck, it's not even the next 'Shadows of the Empire'. For one, both of those are Star Wars games, and this is based on a podcast. And it's in public beta at the moment. Still, there's worse things you could be doing with your time. Trust me.
