Best I get back to finishing this off now that I have time again! Actually, I would have got around to it much earlier but I wasn't happy with the limited screenshot selection (ie, just the menu page) I could find online and had to remember to get one from Azar's YouTube video. Kept forgetting as I normally update this at work (where I don't have YouTube access)!

55. EoFF: Sick Irony
PC, 2000


There's a lot to be said for inside jokes, people you actually know being in the game and having a half decent understanding of the person who created the game. It allows you to enjoy not only the game's story and gameplay but also the game itself. I mean... every little part of the game you get into, you can appreciate the thought behind it so much more. And Sick Irony had great dialogue and a lot of tiny little things that not everyone will find on the first playthrough. It genuinely does have replay value!

The level design wasn't perfect, the battles weren't the most challenging by any means, but it didn't matter. This game's enjoyment factor was created solely for those that like silliness, get the inside jokes and perhaps even those who like to learn a bit about EoFF. My favourite parts were definitely the more obscure things such as that in the screenshot above. That quote, for whatever reason, has stuck with me forever as the defining moment of Sick Irony. Silly, obscure and rather random but still able to put a smile on my face.
