Suicidal Office Worker Stars in Adult Swim iPhone App

October 23, 2009

A new Adult Swim-branded iPhone/iPod Touch app from Turner Broadcasting System and the Cartoon Network has office desk jockeys attempting to off themselves in the fastest way possible utilizing a variety of bloody and violent (and amusing) means.

TouchArcade describes some of the action from 5 Minutes to Kill (Yourself):

You can staple your forehead, drink toilet water, pee on computers, and countless other things. The amount of objects that you can interact with and the objects that can be combined with others for even more lethal damage is pretty amazing.

5 Minutes to Kill (Yourself) is on sale for $2.99 in the iTunes store, though purchasers must be at least 17 years of age to grab the game. A free Flash version of the game is also available on the Adult Swim website.

TouchArcade also has a video embedded on its page featuring gameplay from the touch-enabled title.

I wonder how the Classification Board of Australia would rate this one.

"I wonder how the Classification Board of Australia would rate this one."

Simple, they'd just take the easy way out and refuse to classify it.

i remember playing that game a couple years ago (i think its been that long).  it's amusing, descent for a way to waste time, but i was bored of it after a few plays.

I'm sure Atkinson will be more than happy to tell all the adults with Iphones that he won't allow it.

The flash versions been out for at least a year now on the website. It's a good way to kill (fnar fnar) 5 minutes.

Are you kidding?  I'm wondering what employee, business, union or other organization is going to jump in and scream foul.  Or the Suicide Hotline (where suicide bombers are recruited (sorry, Jeff Dunham joke)).  Or any number of other organizations who clearly couldn't tell the difference between fiction and reality.

ZenI felt Brutal Legends was a funny & beautiful look at the world of rock from Double Fines point of view. The only parts I wasn't hot for were the RTS bits as it felt forced. Otherwise fantastic.02/12/2012 - 1:34pm
DorthLousPassed 1.5M$. And I'd also say that Brutal Legend is far from being a bad game. I just think it was a few levels under what people expected from the people working on the project.02/11/2012 - 8:25am
TechnogeekBrutal Legend wasn't bad so much as "marketing had no idea how the game actually played", causing it to suffer accordingly.02/10/2012 - 10:38pm

GuamishI think it is in good hands. Tim did a game for the GDC award show and that was fun for how short it was.02/10/2012 - 12:22pm
