[Pippin Barr’s flash games](http://www.pippinbarr.com/games/?ref=killscreen.com) have dark punchlines. The [writer](http://killscreendaily.com/articles/essays/hurt-you-so/?ref=killscreen.com), scholar, and maker designs games like a Steven Wright or Mitch Hedberg writes a joke, sardonically exposing the terror of the banal (waiting in line for *The Artist is Present*) or the banality of the terrible (*Let’s Play: Greek Punishment*, *Safety Instructions*). His newest, *[War Game](http://www.pippinbarr.com/games/wargame/WarGame.html?ref=killscreen.com)*, is military lobotomy framed in a Tiger handheld interface–a *Full Metal Jacket* without the abusive heavy hand. Shoot 5 enemies or die, then visit the psych-doctor to answer questions that will point to your Oedipal complex–or say nothing. Either way, you’re going back to the same battefield riddled with semiotic glitch.
