In hours, I have played more of The Binding of Isaac than any other game in my Steam library. Edmund McMillen said he wasn’t expecting it to be a hit, and has since proceeded to be proven thoroughly wrong.

It is kind of a big deal among a certain crowd: as I’m writing this, the second season of the Binding of Isaac Racing League, hosted and commented by Crumps, is in full swing - even though the game was certainly not designed for that!

It’s too easy! Where’s the documentation for the API? I found an injection vulnerability! Global functions from ‘window’ leak! I tried to attack your server then realized nginx was ignoring me!

Keep struggling, my pretties. The game is not meant for you, but you are good guinea pigs nonetheless. Just because the game involved programming, you found yourself so, so terribly wrong about one thing: that you understood at all what was happening.
