Man Enough may be the single sleaziest game I have seen them play on this website, and that includes the time they got that touchmaster machine that had actual boobs in it.

Also that ending is so great, but what makes it is Alexis' reaction to the whole thing.

Best ending since Jeff got a call from his parole officer. I like to think that somewhere, Ryan is laughing his ass off.

His parole officer, I don't remember that one. If it's real which video on the site is it Kear? Would love to see that moment?

At the 5:10 mark (also 2:14 mark for the greatest Ryan Davis moment IMO)

Anyone else having problems, aka not being able to, stream these videos in HD? Or in any other resolution for that matter, it seems I never get rid of the constant buffering breaks.

It's the Creeper Cam edition of the WM Happy Hour. The Parole Officer part wasn't really that funny...everything else was, though.

We have an ongoing post over here in the Bug Reporting forum about video player stuff. Can you use the form there to post your symptoms? Sorry for the trouble!

Yeah I had to disable most of the UI in iRacing. It made me sick in about 2 minutes with it on, but once I turned it off I could play for about an hour and still be fine.

@thehunter1320: Its definitely almost porn, and we never finished the game... I'll bet that at some point the clothes were coming off.

Not according to the Entertainment Weekly review quoted on MobyGames (the link to the 1994 review apparently still works!):

In it, the (presumably male) user goes on dates with six different women, answering their remarks by choosing among three possible responses. Choices range from the hubba-hubba to the wimpy; if you play your mouse right, you end up in a mildly compromising position. Oddly, Man Enough doesn't have the courage of its own sleaziness, as the final encounters are all interrupted before anything happens. Expensive frustration, then-and God help the boob who tries these sub-Club Med lines out on human females.

I think someone should track down Midnight Stranger (does not appear to exist in either GB's or MobyGames databases), which is mentioned in that review as being similar:

Midnight Stranger is a thornier case, partly because it's clearly been crafted with intelligence. Here, you're in an unnamed city at night, interacting with 18 different characters and responding to their comments by clicking on a ''mood bar'' at the bottom of the screen. You're in solid with everyone if you keep clicking the affable end of the bar: You can eventually have soft-core sex with women in itty-bitty video windows, or find out where the alien artifact is hidden so the stand-up comic won't get murdered, or listen to the lesbian dominatrix discourse, quite cogently, on her graduate thesis. Far more disturbing, you can also rape a woman you've just met, a scene that may be intended to shock the user into contemplating the nature of CD-ROM voyeurism but is in mighty bad taste nonetheless. Midnight Stranger boots you out of the game after this choice, warning you that rape ''is not acceptable conduct, even for a game.'' Or for game programmers. Man Enough: D+ Midnight Stranger: C+

Can't help but notice how confused Drew looks at failing to pick up the ladies. It seems like he's thinking "wait, it's never this difficult for me?"

Also watching Ian's reactions to the horrible audio mix shifts in that game was making me crack up big time, that stuff was messing with me too.

The ending was so unprofessional!

Dunno, was a kinda weird mix of "the most unprofessional" from the others (seriously: dick move, guys. Hilarious, but still a dick move), yet I kinda think Alexis handled it MOST professionally. Most people I know wouldn't've been as stand-up about it. Or at least wouldn't've been able to turn it into a send-off for the show in such a manner. :)
