    $3 for this? I know Game Room is like one long running gag anyway, but wow. I can understand (sort of) people really wanting some specific version of an early 80s baseball or casino, but was anyone asking for this one?

    This is the venetian blind that breaks the Jeff's back. If Jeff plays this he will question his entire life that lead up to this. We must keep it away.

    Holy Shit! That's for real? I thought that was a joke or something... How do they justify that? Is that a proof-of-concept program they're selling for 3$?

    This was the future in 1975. Leave it on all day and you burn a window into your TV.

    Nobody justifies it! There's nobody left to be held accountable anyways! They're just saying "fuck it".

    So if Jeff's Twitter is to be believed then this might just be tha last Quicklook of the year: 
     

    The thought of recording a Quick Look for Venetian Blinds is the only thing getting me out of bed today. Let's finish strong!

    At this point, whoever is actually running Game Room these days is probably just out to troll Jeff and Ryan.

    Man, I thought it was bad when they were releasing unfinished crap like Thwocker.
     
    But this... this is a new level of not trying.
