Curiosity is the absolute stupidest game that I’ve ever played in my entire life, and I’m going to win it.
Peter Molyneux’s “social experiment”/what is this I don’t even Curiosity: what’s inside the cube came out early this morning, and already people around the world who really need a hobby are chipping away, hoping to find out just what’s at the center of this magical box. To play, you tap the screen of your iDevice to destroy little boxes; as you earn money, you’ll be able to buy tools that let you tap and destroy, uh, bigger boxes. …I’m pretty sure that’s it.
As of a few minutes ago, half of the cube’s first layer is already gone. At that rate, we’ll be getting those sweet, sweet Molyneux photos and/or pork chops before we even know who the U.S. President is.
For anyone who’s—*ahem*—curious, I filmed a quick demonstration video of Curiosity‘s physical gameplay:
Curiosity is free, it’s iPhone/iPod/iPad/Android compatible, and it’s completely useless for you to play it because I’m going to win *drops iPhone again*.
So, wait… Curiosity is just, like… Multiplayer Count To A Billion?
Yes. And if you pay $50,000 you’re allowed to count by tens.
Except with WAY less to do. I mean, there aren’t even levels. There’s just the cube, and lots of little cubes, and you watching the seconds of your life tick away.
AND I CAN’T STOP PLAYING IT.
…Me too…
Pssst. *whispers* Use the Konami code!
Not compatible with my Ipod… Well shit, I wanted to waste minutes of my young life (minutes that will never come back) chipping away at this thing!
You are the lucky few! I’ll let you know what’s inside when I get it open, don’t worry.
The game’s server is really shotty.I keep getting this error message “a bearded man has taken your place, please click to retry”.
You too?! 🙂
I’m joining right now. This could take a while.
I think we’re on the…third(?) layer now? They haven’t said how many there are. I’m also not sure if each layer is equally as large as the others, or if they get incrementally smaller (which would make sense).
I wrote my name on it on one of the untouched sides, you have to zoom in to see it 😉
Darn, it’s gone…
I wanna join in! Damn it iPod!
I keep getting comment notifications on this video, and it’s become abundantly apparent to me that people have no idea what you’re doing here.
Well, to be fair, this is definitely the strategy I use every time I play this game. …Or at least it would be, if the screen didn’t shatter about ten minutes in for some assuredly unrelated reason.
