You Can't Win

The boss man was wandering around complaining about the shit smeared booger wrapped piece of crap computer program we use.

At one point he turned to me and said it was my job to come up with a video game based around out experience with this program so the rest of the world will understand what it's like to use it.

Here's what I've come up with:

• Blank field with a wall in the middle of it.
• Your guy is on the left and carries a laser.
• On the right side is an exit.
• Every time you fire your laser a guy, with its own laser, appears on the right side of the screen.
• Your laser can not pierce the wall.
• The bad guy's lasers pass through the wall as if it weren't there.
• The goal is to cross the screen from the left to the exit.

And that's what it's like to use our computer system.
