->''"[''The Adventures Of Bayou Billy'' is] not the shittiest game in the world - but what it '''is''' is the most nipple-twisting, nut-aching, hair-pulling, ulcer-causing, butt-itching, frustrating motherfucker of a game you ever saw. Now, ''The Adventures Of Bayou Billy'' is, as I said, a frustrating game, but what many people don't know is that it's also the '''hardest''' game ever made. Now, I know some people will come forward and tell you that the ''{{Gradius}}'' games or ''[=~Ghosts 'n Goblins~=]'', they're a real challenge, and they don't know what they're talking about because I fucking guarantee you that '''nobody''' has beaten ''The Adventures Of Bayou Billy'' fairly. I mean, not without some kind of emulator or Game Genie or divine intervention - this game is '''fucking HARD'''."''

We've just put out the biggest and best video game ''ever.'' Now we must get to work on the sequel, which naturally must use the same engine and graphics as the first game and be as maddeningly difficult and frustrating as our programmers' ones and zeros can allow. IT IS THE ONLY WAY.' Enter poison mushrooms, backwards warp zones, and Piranha Plants that don't play by Piranha Plant rules. I'll take a doctored [[DolledUpInstallment Doki Doki Panic]] almost any day."''
