That's a lot of hard drive space for a tiny little game like this. I do think the voice samples are a huge part of the game's humor, but was there any real REASON to use uncompressed audio, especially when the dictator's speech is almost gibberish?"},{"author_name":"BeardyBard","author_uid":"51049","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 8:35am","epoch":1440577800,"text":"I was a magnificent dictator in this game.\r<br\/>Is it also funny to be a dictator IRL?\r<br\/>Shoulda try it."},{"author_name":"Solifuge","author_uid":"22357","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 8:47am","epoch":1440578520,"text":"Neat idea! It didn't feel particularly game-ish, but the story and voice acting was funny. I appreciated it!
