Wait, isn't it "grind his bones to make my bread"? What the hell is grinding bread? This game just lost a star.

Next week Jack woke up to find that the goose killed itself using the harp strings to strangle itself, so Jack went on to loot the entire countryside, meanwhile the ogre's wife started dropping cannonballs off the edge to get back at little jerk humans who steal from them even though they never really need the money for anything up in the clouds. The end.

Persona 4 is a walk in the park in comparison to enduring this.  They couldn't do it.  Ryan can watch some horrible, horrible movies, but there's now way he could play this entire game without losing his mind.

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boots_Who_Ate_a_Match_With_the_Troll
this is how the fairy tales for kids roll where Im from :p
 
basically, the hero meets a troll with a lot of money. they enter a contest of who can eat the most porridge, the troll knowing he would win bets all his gold.
but the boy was 'clever', and faked it. and put the porridge in his backpack which he had put on his front, so when the troll was full and said he couldnt eat more. the boy said, no problem. just take a knife and cut open your stomach. and you can start over, so he cuts open his backpack and the porridge comes out. the troll feeling silly he hadnt figured that out. takes a knife, cuts open his stomach making his guts pour out and die. the boy steals his gold and gets the hell out of there. 
and he lived happily ever after... he's rich, bitch.
.....kids.

Since you have to count six beans, toss six beans out the window, and pick up six gold coins, it's apparent to me that this game carries the number of the beast, confirming it as a tool of the Antichrist intended to urge us all to annihilation. How else can you explain a story that glorifies stealing from and murdering ogres who have done nothing to harm you? Seriously, Mr. Ogre is just coming home from the late shift to enjoy some delicious Crunch Berries and a beer before hitting the sack, and this little punk comes and ruins his life! Not cool, Jack.

I wish this was called "Reading Rainbow: The Game". This game would be a lot better if LaVar Burton was narrating.
 
Jack's a fucking asshole. You realize he separated husband and wife for, presumably, all eternity. Not to mention stealing their shit after being fed breakfast. Dick.
 
Great Quick Look though. Some hilarious quotes in this one.
 
But you don't have to take my word for it.
