Breaking the Fourth Wall: Clever Gimmick or Slap in the Face?

My love for slapstick comedy was evident at a very young age. Just ask my mom who used to film me ranting about airline food and had to clean up the aftermath of my Chevy Chase pratfalls. This is why I wanted to write a fangirl love letter to Twisted Pixel after recently playing Comic…
