The Bayani Fernando Online Game. I Kid You Not.

Bayani Fernando gets his own online game. Yep, fanboys and fangirls, you can now play the unenviable role of being chairman of the MMDA by doing what BF does best, keep the sidewalks clean by shutting down those darn vendors and giving tickets to traffic violators.

For those who think I’m yanking your chain, you can visit the game at this link. Fans of the singing chairman might be disappointed to know that the game, well, is like playing those old “Game and Watch” mini-games, only more vibrant in color . It stars out by answering a question regarding BF’s career and his future motives (hint: it involves running for a position that ends in –ENT). After you answer the question correctly, the games starts with the “kariton boys” occupying the streets. In Bayani Fernando’s world, Metro Manila is pinker than San Francisco, vendors are littered everywhere, and pink urinals are a must (God, those urinals really stink). It’s a simple flash game, complete with 80’s electronica musical background. What you basically need to do is assign the incoming “kariton boys” by hitting the control arrows and spacebar. It’s kinda like playing “Guitar Hero” on your PC without a plug-in guitar and with cheesy music. Combos are present in the game and gives you higher points if you don’t commit a mistake. The pink urinal doubles as a “stink-o-meter”. Once the meter is filled, game over, man.

The real kicker is it’s supposed to be a contest. Whoever gets the highest score at the end of the month gets an Asus EEE laptop (a netbook? Holy slow performance computers, Batman!). Right now, a player named “belat” has 999,999,999 points and occupies the top spot. The second spot goes to an unnamed player with 0 points. Two things are for sure: nobody really cares about the game and “belat” is the man! Dude, he just went ape shit on the game, give the guy some props. Hey Chairman, “belat” really needs a laptop. Give him a pink one with your face on the cover, ok. Better cough it up, dude.

Hey, if you look closely at Bayani Fernando’s picture, you can notice that he got an electronic facelift. Those computer nerds he hired really know their Photoshop.
