Nice day for fishing (Better stick to the comedy sketches)

I swear they're kinda fun

A group of comedian wannabes that work at a computer retail store came up with a number of sketches that mostly work the angle of the absurdity of MMOs, and I liked them a lot. Well, some of them anyways. For example,  muggers logic, a video on how muggers target insurmountable, obviously out-of-league characters (such as the dragonborn in skyrim), or annoyingly bright AOE spells, which treats the subject. Naturally, when I saw a videogame titled "nice day for fishing" made by these people, I checked it out. I was thoroughly dissapointed. 



In summary, the game is a collection of references to their sketches, mostly to the punchlines themselves. It would've been bad enough if they repeated the same jokes, but this is even worse as they're out of context and on plain text. The title of the game itself was a bad sign in that regard, being yet another out-of-context punchline... 

As for the, umm, "gameplay"… it's literally running from point a to point b, sometimes pressing a button in-between, all to get a cheap joke.
