Synopsis

At last, your troubled fortunes seemed to come to an end. It all happened very quickly: the callback from Red Hat, the bizarre interview with Human Resources, the handshake, the filling out of W-2 forms, and then your first day of work.

You thought maybe your experience writing Interactive Fiction games (sixteenth place in the last IF Comp, a good improvement from 33rd place the year before that) had finally landed you a programming job. But no, you seemed to qualify only for menial clerical work. You took it. What else could you do? Sigh.

Notes

3rd place (out of 53) in the 6th Annual Interactive Fiction Competition.

Somewhat entertaining, but ultimately mediocre. One of the most overrated games of the modern era.

I enjoyed Being John Malkovich a great deal, but the entire concept could easily have come off as tiresome. I don't know... BAP sounds more in-joke'y than I care for, but I could be wrong.

That's exactly the point: purely in-joky, no original substance. So exactly the kind of thing many hardcore fans will eat up, but very inaccessible.
