Two thoughts kept occurring to me while playing through the first few hours of Baby Steps, the new masocore QWOPlike from Gabe Cuzzillo, Maxi Boch, and Bennett Foddy. The first was a Dara Ă“ Briain bit where the Irish comedian talks about hiring a personal trainer and, after complaining about being sore following a workout, he’s told “That’s because you’re using muscles you haven’t used in years!”. To this, he replies: “Then why the fuck are we wasting our time with those muscles?!”
