A friend of mine bought 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Trombone Champ last week and has been sending a steady stream of gameplay videos to our group chat. I am not exaggerating when I say that watching her play Supermassive Black Hole terribly gives me enough strength to get through the day. A few nights ago, my friends and I got drunk and she played us videos of her first attempts at Killing in the Name, Under the Bridge, and The Mandalorian Theme – I was wiping tears off my face by the time she ran out of ဣrecorded clips.
In Trombone Champ, you play the trombone. You move your mouse hand forward and back to adjust the pitch of your notes, and click or use the keyboard to blow. That’s all there is to it, but it’s much harder than it sounds. The mouse is sensitive and it’s hard to get your pitch exactly right, leading to h♕orrendously flat or sharp notes, which brings us to the other thing that makes it hard – laughing shakes your mouse. I don’t understand people who don’t find this game funny, and they must be built different, because coming across it for the first time on Twitter had me doubled over. I can’t imagine actually trying to play this game, losing my shit at the first bad note I hit, and then not being able to recover because I’m laughing too hard.
I would say Trombone Champ is god’s gift to humanity, but it’s actually Holy Wow’s gift – it’s a studio that, according to its biꦚo, is the creator of ‘stupid and/or funny games’, including the ✃Icarus Proudbottom series. And my god, this is the stupidest game I’ve ever seen. But in its stupidity, it transcends ideas of good and bad. The game looks cheap, but in a self-aware way that shows that it’s entirely intentional. There’s a card game with fake facts on it built into the game. It’s full of fake facts, actually, including outrageous sentences about the trombone being invented in 20,000,000 BC and that the highest note the trombone played is only audible to certain species of bats. The game doesn’t take itself seriously, and I love that about it.
Since its launch in September 2022, the game has become a certified meme. It took off quickly with streamers and players alike – it has an 82 percent rating on Metacritic, and 10/10 on Steam. I am far from the only person who loves watching Trombone Champ gameplay, because it’s 🦩comedy gold. Because of its potential for virality, it’s the perfect streaming game, and also a perfect party game. If watching your friend fail through a video is funny, imagine watching them now fail in front of you with all your friends standing around and watching. Who needs stand-up comedy when we have Trombone Champꦦ?
If you’re looking for a party game, a game to stream, or just something to remind you that actually, nothing is funnier than people playing the trombone badly, pick up Trombone Champ this weekend. Then make sure to download your favourite custom songs, play them badly, and send me videos on Twitter. If you’d like to go a step further, be like this guy and turn an actual trombone into a controller for the game. We all deserve a little more trombone-induced ♌joy ༺in our lives.
