Sometime in high school, I found a friend of mine playing this game on his laptop. He went to take a piss and what I saw on his laptop perplexed me. I didn’t know that this was a video game and thought it was rather odd that my friend was staring at his screensaver. I slightly brushed his laptop mouse with my finger to see what he was really doing, but the screensaver did not go away. The persistent screensaver befuddled me as I tapped the mouse key with slight fervor. My friend returned and tilted his head with confusion like a German shepherd dog. “Oh yeah, that’s flOw man. It’s pretty fuckin’ sick dude”, my friend said followed by a slight cough. I realized that my friend was on some serious drugs and needed help…
Nah, that story isn’t true. I just wanted to set up a clever scenario to tell the joke that flOw is nothing more than a pretty screensaver.
