This little cup of pre-digested veal might have acquired the name “SkullCracker Deamon” due to the obnoxiously pitched klaxon that accompanies your every move. A klaxon that cannot be turned off. This could easily cause a pounding headache that could even be colorfully termed “skull cracking”. Or it could be the game window which is anchored to the menu bar and cannot be moved, despite mighty and sustained efforts. Or perhaps it’s the image of the satanic cat, which is certain to cause numerous instances of bed-wetting accompanied by unbridled hysteria.
According to the author, “SCD is game with simple rules, but only really smart player can win.” While we can certainly excuse the author’s hesitancy with English, it is quite unprecedented to assume that the classic tile puzzle game requires a “really smart player” — certainly one must have a small amount of patience, but we have not yet verged into the realm of swollen egghead puzzle-solving capacity. Indeed, this is actually easier than the traditional game, as it supplies an indicator in the corner of the window as to which tiles you’ve gotten in their correct positions.
I venture that the author may have been affected adversely by amoebic dysentery while writing this application, since it is unlikely that a healthy mind would release such an affront to puzzle games. On contemplation, I would rather directly chew loose leaf black tea than spend another moment with this REALbasic conglomeration of scum. Ripping rubber cement out of my armpit hair in the course of provoking an already enraged and frustrated tapir would likewise be a more enjoyable and wholesome entertainment.
DeamonSoft, for attempting to foist yet another spelling of “demon” onto the world, charging $12 (19,200 Venezuelan Bolivar), and your other previously mentioned sins, I bestow a 10.4.

Posted by: acm5fan on February 27, 2003 07:34 PMHuh-huh hahuh ha, you said "REALbasic".
("Quit screwing around Beavis, this is '**Deamon**Soft'.... You have to be a 'really smart player' to beat this piece of crap. So let me try, you're too dumb.")

Posted by: acm5fan on February 27, 2003 07:49 PMI think the author made a mistake. If this were truly a deamon, it would have been a nice UI-less app running silently in the background. Now THAT would up the ante quite a bit. Solve this 4x4 puzzle, you cannot see it nor do you have the controls to move the pieces. You have 5 minutes.
Good luck, Jim.
Posted by: Thuros M. on February 28, 2003 02:39 AM*cough* With that, of course, the author also made a mistake calling it a deamon instead of a daemon.
Posted by: Thuros M. on February 28, 2003 02:41 AMPerhaps a "deamon" is a daemon running in the foreground?
Mmmmmhh?
Posted by: RealB Fan on February 28, 2003 02:49 AMHmm, that would be a "nomead" at least.. from which we can conclude that this app sucks because the author was uninebriated at the time of the creation of this app.

Fuh, I am unable to spell the word "whacky", and references to animals and medieval tortures and maladies pass right by me. I am forced to read your site, and it bothers me. All things are irrelevant to me, and I am unsuccessful with women. Sadly, I have herpes.
I am jealous of your success, and prefer CP/M to all other operating systems. That is my story, and my curse.
The reason your writing annoys me is because I have no life, and like to be annoyed. Remember: pedantic meta-criticism is my favorite game, and realistically, I have no clue about what you can and cannot write.
I am more brilliant than everyone. That is why I'm taking time away from designing rockets to write this comment, which will quickly be re-written by the site's authors (those unethical bastards)
In a brilliant piece of wit, I am going to pretend to be associated with The Onion, which will prove my humor-related skills.

prove it.
