Fan Creates Edgey McEdgerson's Hedge Edger from ENN Joke

An Escapist denizen made a flash game based on a joke made by Graham Stark in an episode of ENN and it's really fun.

Stop the presses! I think we found our Game of the Year.

In October, the trademark for the word "edge" that Tim Langdell of Edge Games has been vigorously protecting for years was finally overturned by a California court. Our own source for entertainment news, the Graham told co-anchor Kathleen DeVere [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/escapist-news-network/2222-The-EA-Louse-Friends] that he could finally move forward with his game Edgey McEdgerson's Hedge Edger.

A fan of the show made the leap and actually designed a flash game with Graham's idea. Hosted at Kongregate [http://www.kongregate.com/games/NirTivAal/edgey-mcedgersons-hedge-edger] and designed by [user]NirTivAal[/user], Edgey McEdgerson's Hedge Edger is exactly what you'd expect. You play as Edgey McEdgerson and leap from the top of hedges while poppy dance music plays. In that way, it's reminiscent of Robot Unicorn but the difficulty ramps up as Edgey goes faster and faster. It's a simple game, but it's really quite fun.

I'm not sure what Graham Stark thinks about the game, or the fact that someone took a quick joke of his and turned it into a reality. I, for one, think it's hilarious and give kudos to [user]NirTivAal[/user] for pulling it off.

Didn't Shamus get to this first?

It's a little unfair to give all the credit to ENN.

This had better not become as addictive to me as Robot Unicorn Attack did..... It's actually pretty fun. Music is pretty cool too.

Always, I wanna be with you.....

But this one is about Edgy McEdgerson.

Shamus's is about Edgy Edgerton.

Totally and completely different. No similarities. At all. Ever. None.

Wow. You're seriously going to jump on this - a parody of ridiculous copyright chasing - by accusing us of getting the credit wrong? Dude. Seriously. Dude.

Decent game for what it is Hovering Hedges were not something I was expecting to see today.

That was back when he was trying to sue "Mirrior's Edge" with a different made-up game title while this one was based off the name from ENN. who was making a joke about being safe to produce a game with the word(s) edge in it.

Also, maybe NirTivAal didn't remember the Shamus' article?

Music is awesome, to bad I suck at timed jumps D:

 

[Wolf Devastator]

I got the bad ending! D:

The game was fun and fast paced, with a few more goals and abilities or whatever it would be awesome! Felt like a Sonic game...

Sonic the Hedge Edger?!?!

Someone make a parody of this parody where I can hedge Edgy Hedgehogs (the more gore the better).

Music definitely fit the game, nice job!

 

[Gammaj4]

The Music makes it.

 

[Frank_Sinatra_]

Well so much for writing today, this is just too fun, and the music kicks too much ass.

 

[Zepren]

That is sooooooooooooooooooo awesome. Can people keep making games based on graham's jokes please! lol

Well, it's not like I'm stomping on the ground and shaking my fist at you, guys.

I just called things as I see them. And it irked me when someone said "Graham's idea", because when I heard that joke, my first thought was I heard it before.

So. Yeah. Just that. If you find that ridiculous (and it kinda is), that's fine.
