This is probably the most ridiculous game idea ever. Thinking about getting a ds just for this.

I watched only a little more than 30 seconds. I just lost all interest right off the bat. But what I gathered from that short little bit is that their are guest that are arriving and they all want to get served.

Wait, did I hear right? Valet Parking 1999. So the CEO doesn't know the name of the game they are developing. Fantastic.

No you didn't. He says 1989. It's his fucking godawful mindcrippling accent that fucks shit up.
 
Edit: The more I look into this the more real it seems. I'm baffled. BAFFLED.

This is heavily influenced by the music of Paula Abdul.

Having been born in 1989, I have zero idea what that year was about. I always figured it was pretty much the 90s, but with slightly less gangster rap.
 
Oh, and that music was killer, Toe Jam & Earl style.
I'm serious!
