Lol, I haven't played Pokemon in years. Game had a lot of strategy though, it's not just a kids game. My team I think was Chansey, Snorlax, Lapras, Exeggutor, Alakazam, Machamp (or maybe Tauros as Phys. Sweeper). Too good.

Anyway we should start a petition to get Zjiin to subscribe again. :lick:

Monday is canceled. SMYM took a toll on everyone, so we'll resume on Wednesday.

Y'know, because Melee is so much more tiring than going to a 10-hour set of concerts, at least 6 of which are spent in mosh pits...(AoB's a douche, so I spent my Saturday at Warped Tour, which was not as good as Mayhem, by the way.)
Yeah, taking a break on Monday is good. We could all use some rest.

I guess since I ended up playing a lot less Melee than I hoped to in the tournament, I'm eager to play some more. Anyone up for playing tomorrow?

Vro if you have a tournament on a saturday that at least gives me a "decent" excuse to drive 3 hrs up to chicago to get ***** by good people...which is what i need to learn to get better.

Well, the band-related part of it was that my guitar player had a whole bunch of extra tickets, so he and his dad grabbed the other three of us and we had ourselves a time. And I tend to be rather out of line when I'm trying to post something in a hurry, and then the reprisals cause me to john like a mother****er when I have more time later on...do you see what's going on here?

Besides, AoB's only a douche for banning me. He's a cool dude otherwise, and I'm just **** glad I wasn't pooled with him at MLG back when I barely even knew what the hell a Fox was. (Of course I got Azen...) And now I've sent myself spiralling down amnesia lane like the strange-o person I am who is constantly the victim of going off on tangents and being taken far too seriously by those around him...can we not figure that out, people? I'm just some person who doesn't give a **** if he fits in or not, and for whatever reason the local bunch seems to harbor modest amounts of distaste for me...all of this is very overwhelming, and it's causing me to go off and say stupid stuff in a thread where it ought not belong. Because that's what I do, right? Say weird stuff and then john about it like crazy. Everything is just splitting my head apart, and I'm being driven into a ridiculous spiral of madness and insanity to the point where I actually start to care more about video games than even my music.

Anyway, puttin' all that aside, I'll see you all on Wednesday, and I'll be bringing refreshment for those who might not be beer drinkers. And if Khepri still has that system-less TV, eGale can supply the system again. I expect to be in a merrier mood that day, so you won't have to worry about any of that stuff up there bleeding into my Melee playing.

It's not THAT bad yet...music is still what makes me better at video games. (That does it, I'm bringing my CD player on Wednesday.)

Games

So, on the way back from SMYM, the conversation between me, Drew and Nick moved from lots of different topics, including certain games that all three of us enjoyed because they did something more than the usual game does. There were a few that I played that the other two hadn't, so I was going to send them links to those games, but I figured most of the people frequenting this thread would also enjoy them, so a post seemed more appropriate.

Here's a few games you all might enjoy. Some are weird, some are beautiful, but all are just really good. Oh, they're also all free.

Aether - Platformer about a boy exploring various worlds on his pet alien(this is one of the games I mentioned specifically during the ride)
http://db.tigsource.com/games/aether

Cave Story - Incredibly detailed and polished game that plays a bit like a Metroid game. Really good story and music.
http://db.tigsource.com/games/cave-story

Cloud - Sort of abstract and perhaps only appealing to me because of how much I like clouds.
http://db.tigsource.com/games/cloud

Deaths - Short little platformer that tracks the actions of the last 50 players to play each level to help you get past obstacles.
http://db.tigsource.com/games/deaths

Don't Look Back - Really neat little game about descending into hell. Sort of reminds me of Shadow of the Colossus in terms of mood (not so much graphics or gameplay).
http://db.tigsource.com/games/dont-look-back

Execution - Short, experimental game, but pretty affecting, especially upon replaying.
http://db.tigsource.com/games/execution

Iji - Really well made adventure/action game that reminds me of a cross between 2d Metroid games and Deus Ex.
http://db.tigsource.com/games/iji

Karoshi, Karoshi 2.0, Karoshi Factory - All three of these are built on the same premise: you must kill your character to pass the levels. They are also built on another premise: totally ****ing around with the player. There are a few levels with some novel solutions, to the point where they become unintuitive and somewhat frustrating (don't be ashamed to use a walkthrough on those levels).
http://db.tigsource.com/games/karoshi
http://db.tigsource.com/games/karoshi-2-0
http://db.tigsource.com/games/karoshi-factory

Knytt - Basically a Metroid game without the fighting.
http://db.tigsource.com/games/knytt

Knytt Stories - Expands on the basic premise of Knytt with more levels and features. There is a large community surrounding this series of games and there are tons of player-made stories available for download on the forum for the game (follow the second link).
http://db.tigsource.com/games/knytt-stories
http://nifflas.ni2.se/

Painajainen - Really relaxing platformer game that has a nice mix of puzzles requiring precise execution and lateral thinking.
http://db.tigsource.com/games/painajainen

Seiklus - One of the first independent games I ever played (second after Cave Story) and still one of my favorites. This game has a really wonderful and varied atmosphere, some excellent music and a good sense of how to hint at solutions and secrets.
http://db.tigsource.com/games/seiklus

Seven Minutes - Really difficult platformer that has the player trying to escape a temple in the last seven minutes before the world ends.
http://db.tigsource.com/games/seven-minutes

Squish - Nice little puzzle platfomer. A demake of the PSP game Crush.
http://db.tigsource.com/games/squish

The Linear RPG - A game made in a 48-hour design contest that reveals many of the reasons I don't play too many RPGs.
http://db.tigsource.com/games/the-linear-rpg

Verge - A pretty brilliant little game where the player has to explore two parallel worlds - the living world and the spirit world - to solve puzzles. The only way to enter the spirit world is to die in the living world, which makes for some unique solutions.
http://db.tigsource.com/games/verge

Within a Deep Forest - The best game ever featuring a cast of bouncing balls. Great music and just the right level of challenging jumping puzzles.
http://db.tigsource.com/games/within-a-deep-forest

Anyway, that's a fairly long list of games that I have found to be not only fun to play, but also fun to think about afterwords. Hope you guys enjoy them and if you know of some games that are not listed here but are in a similar vein, let me know.
