The Blogtastic Blogfest That Is Getmeoutofthis.net!

Are you hip? Cool? Have one of them newfangled “Facesbook” accounts that all the kids can’t stop going on about?

Then you better fucking play some You Don’t Know Jack. Seriously.

You know I can’t get enough Jack. This is true enough that I will log on to the goddamn Facebook just to play this. It’s a fantastic game and it continues to be enjoyable in this Facebook version.

Here’s the benefits of the Facebook version: you get to play asynchronously with your friends. The game serves you up games based on what your friends have seen, so you always have a rolling leaderboard to go against, or are setting one for your friends. Therefore, you have some of that competition you get playing the main game, if you enjoy that. The questions are just as well-written, and just as awesome as in previous versions of Jack. You’ve got Cookie back, and he’s great. Most of the question categories from the 360 game show up here with new questions, but you also get to see the triumphant return of the Gibberish Question, and the appearance of my clearly most favorite question type ever, “Elephant, Mustard, Teddy Roosevelt, or Dracula?” where you are tasked with saying if a thing is an Elephant, a type of Mustard, Teddy Roosevelt, or Dracula. The ads are as funny and fun as ever.

It is all microtransactioned to shit, though. You can only play one game a day unless you play. This isn’t a big deal for me: I’m glad to come back once a day for Jack. But it is kind of annoying. You can also buy “score enhancers” to discreetly increase your winnings, which is stupid. Still, I can’t blame Jellyvision for trying to make a buck. If it means I get more Jack, they can do whatever the fuck they want.

Anyway, dust off some Facebook account you forgot you have and play some Jack and enjoy your goddamn day. I’ll see you later.
