SLACKERJACK - Love’s Arrow
Then buzz it up

Yay for Valentine's Day! The day when you're guilted by a girl into paying twice as much as usual for a cruddy set menu at a rubbish restaurant filled with hundreds of other couples who don't know how to talk to each other either. Yay…
Instead of doing the usual kissy kissy flower-giving Valentine's Day thing today, you'd probably be better off playing Love's Arrow a couple of times and being done with it. Love's Arrow is a Valentine's game we half understand - you get to fly around shooting disembodied hearts with a never-ending stream of arrows - and half don't. Because in Love's Arrow, when you shoot a heart it falls to earth and makes… people… happy. That's a concept we just can't get our heads around, but Love's Arrow is a nicely diverting way to spend a few minutes reminding yourself of the power of love or, if you're single, it'll take your mind off what a hopelessly ugly smelly lonely person you are. Just for a few minutes.
