Frequently Asked Questions

From time to time, we get questions from our enthusiastic poke participants. More often than not, they've already been asked at least three thousand times over. So in the interest of keeping our disk quota on our e-mail servers low, we present the following FAQ:

1. Who are these Alex and Mike guys anyway?
2. Is this poor guy I'm poking really named Alex?
3. What is wrong with you people?
4. Is Alex wearing fingernail polish?
5. What does it say on Alex's t-shirt?
6. When will you be making a Poke/Kick/Stab Alex in the Face/Groin/Butt game?
7. Whatever happened to that other game, Heads Will Roll?
8. Why don't you guys hurry the heck up and finish the Poke Plus game already? We've been waiting forever!
9. I sent you guys an email and you haven't replied. Don't you like me?
10. Is Alex, like, available?
11. I absolutely, positively have to get in touch with Alex right this very second. It's a total matter of life or death. We're talking mondo importante here. What's the best way to reach him?

Answers

1. Who are these Alex and Mike guys anyway?

   We give a great description of who we are, in disjointed interview form, on our "About" page. [top]

2. Is this poor guy I'm poking really named Alex?

   Yes. Really. [top]

3. What is wrong with you people?

   Nothing! *twitch* [top]

4. Is Alex wearing fingernail polish?

   Sigh. Yes he is. It was college. [top]

5. What does it say on Alex's t-shirt?

   Alex is wearing a homemade t-shirt with the logo of the band Flipper. They are terrible. [top]

6. When will you be making a Poke/Kick/Stab Alex in the Face/Groin/Butt game?

   We won't be. Nor will we be incorporating any sort of silly "Pick Alex's Nose" theme, so stop asking. [top]

7. Whatever happened to that other game, Heads Will Roll?

   For those that don't know, Heads Will Roll was the first in a series of games planned for Poke Alex's sister website, The Virtual Toybox. Unfortunately the Virtual Toybox concept neverreally materialized and we had to abandon it. Heads Will Roll has therefore been removed indefinitely. [top]

8. Why don't you guys hurry the heck up and finish the Poke Plus game already? We've been waiting forever!

   We apologize for it taking so long, but you can relax! Alex's Poke Plus is now ready and rarin' to go! We've included all kindsof new tricks and surprises, along with the quality finger-thrusting, eye-poking hijinks you've come to expect from Poke Alex In The Eye:The Game! [top]

9. I sent you guys an email and you haven't replied. Don't you like me?

   Awww, don't be that way. We're sure that each and every person that sends us a comment is a lovely, intelligent, kind person with a heart of gold and more friends than they can count (even the ones who tell us that we're idiots). We just get much more email than we can handle, which is far better than we ever expected. [top]

10. Is Alex, like, available?

    This has to be the single most frequently asked question sent to the developers of Poke Alex In The Eye: The Game.

11. I absolutely, positively have to get in touch with Alex right this very second. It's a total matter of life or death. We're talking mondo importante here. What's the best way to reach him?

    Listen, Gwyneth, we've told you to stop calling.
