The Minimisealist,

Minimise popup windows as they appear so you can continue giving your important technology presentation.

(Note: no real popups are used in the game)

(press the [ _ ] to minimise windows. That's the only game mechanic. Honestly I think the title screen and the game over screen are the best parts.)

I thought it was great. Very fun. I found myself addicted at one point! Fits the minimalism theme very well! Awesome

I like the take on the theme!

Is there a browser requirement for this? In mine (Firefox, latest), I seemed to hear popups, but did not see any popups.

The generated text made me laugh quite a bit :)
Good job!

It should work in most browsers, the no popups thing'll solve itself with a refresh.

(There was a FF bug where the windows wouldn't register clicks but that's fixed now)

Sorry, still not able to see the popups on my browser even after multiple refreshes.

Does that mean I win by default? In essence, my configuration seems to have done the job of eliminating the popups for me. =D

I'll start a leaderboard and put you at the top!
I'm really not sure what'd cause the popups not to form...

Very funny and original take on the theme! Thank you!

I tried to focus on the news for a while, but it was lethal. Very funny however! I really like the concept and the idea in it. Very nice!

Ok, LOL, I figured out why I couldn't see popups. AdBlockPlus was literally killing the in-game popups. Disabled ABP for your game page, and the game now works like a charm.

Pretty cool game concept, and I liked how the popups were subtly different.

Though I think the TARDIS has been, erm... compromised, lol.
