I enjoy these annual lampoonings of classic ZZT worlds, though it's definitely tougher now that you've through a lot of the iconic "good" ones. Neither Best of ZZT game is all that exciting today, so this is another instance of the troll game being generally kinder.
The drum blaster screen was a fun surprise. I like how the already joke of a weapon from the original was transformed into something wildly different. I also felt the most confident that I knew what people were talking about in these games for once. I've seen some Sailor Moon now. I've watched Cowboy Bebop. I have a basic understanding of these things!
The trivia was great, and I absolutely would have gone to look up the video(s) had I not been streaming. Asking me stupidly specific trivia that has an obvious place to look for the answer only for me to realize that it's not actually helpful to look up is a real powerful trick to play on someone.
I'm also going to be thinking about what it says about me that I saw some centipedes, squinted, and immediately realized what was going on. It's also funny to me that I thought of The Three Trials version of the gag and not the one from the game being parodied.
I think this is the best La Vie yet, though with these criteria for judging I have no idea if the scores will reflect that opinion.
