Went wrong somewhere along the line. The original idea might have promise, but in practice it has failed. Threatens to be interesting sometimes, but rarely.

“[b]-slurping makes you unable to hear what the songs are saying:[/b] which can be "fixed" with a bug that makes you able to drink soda silently but it's still not a good idea to make the more entertaining part of the game harder to experience.”
