Has anyone ever tried my bangerang boomerang funny version? It's even better than ABCD...

OK, I will admit it, once and for all: ABCD is not funny, and is not art. It is just mean. It has attracted several funny reviews, though.

Now, will you please consider taking a look at my masterpiece, the bangerang boomerang funny version?

BTW, I must confess that I failed to give credit to redink1 for some graphics I used in that game, and that I, without permission from anyone, used a secret decompiler written by Phoenix, in order to "steal" source code from the same redink1. I apologize for all of this, and will accept any decision to remove the file for these reasons. However, I hope neither of you takes this so seriously after all these years. EDIT: I was young and stupid.

Just played it. It was fun while it lasted, but I was expecting something to happen after killing all those ducks and when it didn't... I realized I was trolled even worse than ABCD

What's the midi btw? It's nice and sounds really familiar. I'm pretty sure it's some Foo Fighters song or some similar band's.

Nice to see you here, you legend you.

Hint: You are supposed to catch the boomerang, just like in joshriot's original.

Nice to hear that I am a legend. Herostratic fame, I suppose.

Ooooh.

I thought it just [MAJOR EPIC SPOILER PPLS] sliced your head off if you were in its way.

Oh wait. So that's the joke.

The head slicing is the whole point!

That is what I "borrowed" from redink1's End Of Time. I just couldn't resist it at that time, making that joke.

Now I realize that I should have made it another way, like Dink can catch the boomerang as normal a few times before a duck suddenly survives and knocks it right in Dink's direction while Dink is frozen. Then, when Dink dies by decapitation, the very same death he tried to give the ducks, there should be a message on the screen, stating: "Congratulations, boomerang! You won!", referring to current and growing disputes around whether you control technology or technology controls you. Or indeed this could be seen as the ducks' revenge over Dink because of the way he (and the player through him) treats animals.

Again, this is not art, it is a simple joke.

ABCD is not funny, and is not art.

You're not art.

And now, everyone. Let's get into the "Are video games art" debate. Go!

Why? I would like more ontopic comments instead.

It's funny, yes, but I guess the intended effect was lost on me because I had forgotten all about how joshriot's version let you catch the boomerang, and by the time I figured it out it'd already been done.

Thanks anyway.

I think that if this file is to be kept online, it should be categorized as an unfinished d-mod, because it is supposed to be played. It makes for a lousy weapon add-on, as you can see.

(A lousy game too, of course, particularly because there is no way to win it.)

I think stealing from other D-Mods is like picking your nose; everyone does it, but people don't like to talk about it too much.

I changed the category to be an Unfinished D-Mod. Hopefully it gets more play that way!

That's a pretty good joke, actually.
