IKEA - a role-playing game
via boingboing
"IKEA is a fully immersive, 3D environmental adventure that allows you to role-play the character of someone who gives a shit about home furnishings. In traversing IKEA, you will experience a meticulously detailed alternate reality filled with garish colors, clear-lacquered birch veneer, and a host of NON-PLAYER CHARACTERS (NPCs) with the glazed looks of the recently anesthetized."

This is really funny: the idea of IKEA as a cult makes sense. It's like the way Saturn owners used to be when Saturn paid a bounty if you got someone else to buy one. "Join us -- buy a Saturn -- buy IKEA furniture -- join us...."

ok, so a) your comment won't post right away because i have to approve it first and b) you might get a server error but your comment probably posted anyway and c) previewing doesn't work so i've removed the preview button.
