OMG, It's Barn Runner 5, Chapter Three!!

[Ponch]

Look! Up In The Sky!

It's A New Barn Runner Game!

That's right! Two and a half years of being too lazy to finish it of diligent fine tuning, and I'm finally ready to present Barn Runner 5: The Forever Friday 3. And, gosh, does this game have it all!

* Lots of exciting places to explore! (Just look at the men's room up there!)
* Oodles of exciting conversations to be had! (Probably too much chit chat, to be honest)
* More inventory items than seems practical (Much of it is completely pointless!)
* Poorly designed puzzles that are sure to baffle and frustrate you for hours! (I'm so sorry!)
* Cutscenes by the bucket load! (Mostly the game just gives you something to do between cutscenes!)
* Multiple player characters (yet all are shockingly interchangeable!)
* Completely skippable arcade sequences (so optional I wonder why I even bothered to put them in!)
* Lots of fun little mini-games (sure to distract you from the shoddy puzzles!)
* Tons of Easter Eggs (and old TV and movie references you younger kids are certain not to get. OH GOD, I'M SO OLD!)
* Multiple paths to victory (no more linear story telling this time around! It's sure to lead to trouble!)
* Bugs and typos my play testers missed (you can never catch them all.)
* Biggest Barn Runner game ever! (Bloated! That's the word I'd use!)

Look, kids! A cigarette vending machine! Just one of the many poor choices I made as a designer!

This full length game picks up just hours after the last chapter ended. The mass hysteria of the "Big Crazy" continues tearing through the city and it's up to our hero, Prick Peckard; the partner that won't go away, Harry; and the object of Prick's desire, Noriko. They can save the city... But only with your help!

Will Prick survive this secret mission into the wilds of the BGCZ? Will he find the people responsible? Will his city survive the madness that has claimed so many other cities before it? Will Noriko's secret prototype be up to the task? (Ah, how the 80s loved super machines!) Are Harry's pilot skills up the task? And can Prick handle an adventure without having a trench coat to wear? (He's a creature of habit!)

And how does rock-a-billy's favorite son Mojo Nixon factor into all of this? You'll only find out if you download! (So consider youself warned!)

Dualnames dies from excitement!!

The game is amazing so far. And here i was, thinking I'd work on my own games. It's always some asshole ruining your creative process.

I apologize! (And once you've completed the game and seen how pointless it all is, I'll apologize again!)

  Cool    Congrats on finishing this Ponch!  I'll be checking it out very soon, as I must find out why that machine is out of ranch flavored cigarettes.

That's just one of the many spine-tingling mysteries you'll solve in this game. Just wait until you find out that the General Store is out of booze. It's pretty chilling stuff!

Exactly! I wasn't shiftless or lazy. No sir! I was trying to teach you kids a valuable life lesson: Slow down and smell the roses! And... um... recycle and stuff. That's important too!  8)

Excitement overload!   

Loving this game so far, Ponch.  Congrats on finishing it.

Glad you like it. It was a lot of work and I'm glad to finally be done with it. Now I have to get the next one ready. Good lord, it never ends!  

UPDATE: A bug has been reported! I'll get a fixed version of the game up tonight. But in the meantime, after you give May the crayons and the old canvas, while you're following her into the woods. Do NOT stop to talk to Harry or the game may crash. As long as you don't talk to him while following her, everything thing is fine and the game continues as normal. I'll get the patched version up as soon as I can.  

UPDATE 2: Problem solved. New version uploaded. If anyone else spots a bug, feel free to PM me.

Yes yes ohdeargods yesss!  Can't wait to get try this out later tonight!  Barn Runner rocks!

What?! Sir, you have offended my honor! I demand pistols at dawn. Or possibly hand grenades at brunch.

If you would look closely, you'll notice that your guy is wearing white shoes. My guy is wearing black shoes. They are clearly completely different pictures!  8)

Also, thanks PlayPretend! Barn Runner does indeed rock! So much so that obviously Snake was so inspired that he made a time machine and went back in time to pay homage to all things Barn Runner. Well played, Snake. But PlayPretend and I are on to you, sir! Stop creating paradoxes! The universe is not a toy!

Holy shit, it looks like Prick's been using steroids since the last episode.  Now I just need to dig up my passwords, if I can find them.  Sigh...

Mojo Nixon involved in this game could only make it better.  Afterall, his performance in Buttcrack sure did!

That's a bit of a running joke. It was revealed all the way back in Barn Runner 2 (and in several games since), that when Prick takes his coat off, he's incredibly buff. But in the coat he looks more average and a little slouchy. Is the coat magical or something? Is it just filled with so much junk that it weighs him down? Who knows! It is a mystery! 

I hope you can find those codes! I put a lot of work into the campaign elements! I'll be sad if no one uses them.

Lastly, Mojo makes everything better! (But you'll have to beat Fast Eddie Gupton in a drag race if you want to hear his music!)

[LimpingFish]

Wheeeeeee! \o/

That is all.

[Ponch]

Wheeeeeee! \o/

That is all.

Thank you, sir! I'm glad you're excited. I'll have you know that Barn Runner 5-3 is a game so manly that just playing it will put hair on your chest (or on your hamster, as the case may be) 

[Saurabh]

At last!!!!

[ThreeOhFour]

I have made a commitment to wearing pink bunny ears at all times while playing this game.

THAT'S HOW COMMITTED I AM! 

[Ponch]

sauyadav: Indeed!

Ben: To be fair, weren't you already wearing them all the time anyway?

[ThreeOhFour]

Yes, but now I have a reason!
