It seems like that would really need a lot of time to add in enough responses to make it work. With what it has, I can't really say it works, but that's clearly a matter of not having enough time to add content. Interesting idea, though!"},{"author_name":"Imagos Softworks","author_uid":"64799","time":"Dec 21, 2015 @ 9:05pm","epoch":1450731600,"text":"It was interesting to figure out what to say to him. I like that you cannot repeat the same thing over and over. I got stuck about halfway through though. I ran out of things to compliment him on.
