Transformice is described as a game where you try to get the cheese. Please refrain from cursing at the other mice.

Every level of this game is the same: a bunch of idiots with no attention span or patience run around like they're on crack, which about half the time makes the level impossible to solve because they get the other mice killed by accident.

MY GOD IT'S THE INTERNET PERSONIFIED

I don't think some of the mice get killed by accident...

This game is pathetically bad. Please refrain from posting rubbish like this and then get your friends to "favorite" it, at least until you get a vague clue about game design.

The Youtube video is hysterical, mostly because I'm imagining all the players screaming like crazy German children.

My previous comment was hasty, and based on two attempts to try the game, in both of which I died before I could do anything and I just saw a dozen or so mice run back and forth. I just saw a youtube video which looked like actual gameplay, so it is possible that it isn't as bad as I thought.
I still think it isn't worth wasting any time on based on the video, but my previous comment was overly harsh.

Man, someone - possibly a MeFite, since their comment didn't include 'fag' or 'jew' - said I was slow on the uptake since I waited until the rest of the mice did their lemming run before going for the cheese myself. Jerks.

I imagine this is probably a training video for leading small children in emergency situations. I should probably practice our fire drills more, seems like most of my class would end up cheeseless.

That was pretty fun, I apologize for blowing everybody up when it was my turn to be the shaman.

I played this once. I got the cheese, mwahahaha. I'm going to give up now and just feel smug.

oh man it was just my turn to be shaman and I had no idea what to do. I just learned that I needed to HOLd the mouse button to place an object. I'm sorry!

If you're getting a connection error, try making an account. This is... too much fun. And a hell of a lot better in the mefi room than a random one

I love the idea of this game, but man I am terrible at it.

I just spent like two hours in the mefi room with all y'all and had way too much fun.

This is actually quite a good game. As soon as you join, type "/room MeFi" and you'll join some mice that are actually trying to get the cheese. :)

yup, this is definitely a fun game with mefites (aka passionata)

(was I really in there two hours?!)
posted by Surfurrus at 5:30 AM on June 21, 2010

Hah, I lured Passionata to her little rodent death twice. :)

I believe you should submit this to the bad sex in fiction contest.

So true, Malor, you seemed to have some kind of Jedi power that allowed you to slyly skitter past the swirling death paddles -- the rest of us went splattering into space. Oh, the agony!!

... maybe an epic poem, Babblesort?

Little rodent, not little death, and it wasn't fictional. :)

I haven't been able to reconnect today. They seem completely slammed.

I've found some success connecting at http://transformice.com/en but it does take forever!

This game is frickin hilarious. Also sheer 100% chaos.

This game is impairing my quality of life.

Going back to this later, this game is amazingly addictive.
