NGNW: "Explaining the appeal of playing I Wanna Be The Boshy is always a teensy bit tricky. Sure, as a spectator to the offensively unfair fan-game you might at least get the chance to see a man's sanity and well-being slowly pecked away by the ultra-precise platforming it being a morbidly fascinating Twitch.tv staple and everything but why anybody would actually sit down and play it for the purposes of entertainment is a question to be asked in a much more incredulous tone. It is, I think, a game of pure achievement: enjoyment isn't derived from the gameplay itself so much as the sheer sobbing relief after several sleepless nights and developing a minor substance abuse problem of just barely reaching the next checkpoint. It's an icy jagged cliff to throw yourself against; every ledge merely an excuse to pat yourself on the back."
