Oh wow, I thought. Someone really tried to go for a large scale multiplayer game? And it's pong? What a cool idea! I have to see this!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Then, I saw the message about how many hundreds of players were playing right now, and I thought, really? I don't know, maybe... if so, awesome!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Then, I saw all the other players paddles. That's when I started to get suspicious. Nobody was AFK. People are always AFK with stuff like this. They were also all moving in very similar ways that looked like AI control to me. Very suspicious at this point.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Then, I clicked away from my browser and saw that the game paused. Boom! I thought! Busted! What a scam! This isn't multiplayer at all! This dev is trying to pass off a fake MMO. Pfft. Loser.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Then, I saw the fake error message and the Admin mode and the crazy Multiball stuff. Oh! Wait! It's a joke. The dev is in on it, and I am just now getting it. Back to &quot;This is awesome!&quot;\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Well played, sir. Well played. :)"},{"author_name":"Ysty","author_uid":"17877","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 3:41pm","epoch":1367249760,"text":"Brilliant, the most fun I've had with an LD game.
