It's a stupid, highly overrated game for sheeple.

Whacking any kind of animal is not cool.

But I wonder, with all the creative possibilities in the universe, why would someone design a game around abusing kittens?

It seems you're not cognizant of the impact and impression a name like that can give people.

Take some social responsibility. And be prepared to deal with concerns like mine as long as your game has that name.

ReadWriteWeb are linkbait whores. I'm totally serious. I stopped taking them seriously a long time ago.

I can see it now: the moon spirals off into the sun, and some "expert" is going to say that it's "not unusual".

I love the wording here: "not unusual". So what does it make it? Usual?

Maybe I'm over-sensitive, but the game sounds like it makes light of animal abuse.

So very, very not cool.

Just to let you know jhubert, I'm not clicking on your link because it's a juvenile headline and very spammy sounding.

The "Awesome. I love the Internet" line didn't help to change my mind either.

Wow, the search results are terrible on blekko. I think someone's gone crazy with the ban hammer.

My suggestion to blekko: look for signals of relevance to determine serps, instead of flagging every other website as spam.

My advice: don't say what you can do, show what you can do. Start a project you can get excited about and demonstrates your ability to market a product or service. Document the entire process on your blog, and create awareness to your blog with Twitter.

Good luck!

If you are going to use hyphens, go f-u-n-k-y with it. Might be able to score some awesome domain names that way.

Card games is a rather broad umbrella term. Do you mean card games like Poker, or Magic: The Gathering? Or something experimental like Rejection Therapy?

Just trying to figure out what your after. I never play Poker (I find it boring, and I don't gamble) but I'm fascinated by social experiments like Rejection Therapy.

It's a comparison. So what? I was expecting comeuppance.

Sweet. I noticed there's 6 more suggestion cards in the app. The Game Crafter deck only has 30.

Disclosure: Haven't tried it. Why? Too expensive, and the engagement level on the site is too low (although I have no metrics to prove it).

Whatever it is you're doing, you hate it. Start doing something you actually care about.

It'd be interesting to see if playing the cards would actually increase business or not.
