Doodle- Today's time-waster

Filed under: Fun, Games, Internet, Time-Wasters

After spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.
It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.
Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.
Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.
Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.
Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.
This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.
If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.

Lame. There is no time limit and you can't die, so all you're playing for is points.
I finished the whole thing in well under an hour.

Because there were only about 10 levels. That adds to the lameness. The story made it sound like it would get harder, but by the time I realized it wasn't going to, I was done.

I was having fun with it, until I realized that the enemies couldn't actually hurt me. They just take away a little bit of time and even if you lose all your time (which is impossible unless you do it on purpose) you still don't die. Peter is right, there is no challenge at all. A bit of tweaking to the game so that the enemies can actually kill you would make this a fun game however.
