If you're going to quit your job and aren't filled with an abject hate for your current place of employment, this is a pretty classy way to go. This 2K Australia programmer known as "Farbs" cashed out of his 2K gig to go work on indie stuff, and seems to have announced it to his co-workers via a pretty cool little interactive Flash thingy.

Here's a shot of the title screen, in case you need further enticement to go play it for yourself:

Farbs is also the guy who put together the awesomely awesome ROM CHECK FAIL, which means I'm way more excited to see what he's going to go off and make now that he's rolling solo. Congrats, Farbs!

I think something that would get that more would be, "Game Over. For You. Because I just quit." :P

It's sweet and neat. I kept trying to drag Mario over to the tiny finish pole in vain. That's deep.

As soon as you mentioned the name "Farbs", I hoped you'd mention ROM CHECK FAIL. That game's pretty ridiculous. :)
