Quarriors, Sentinels of the Multiverse, 30 Second Life, Trackmania 2
I had a game night with friends, and I was specifically asked to bring Quarriors, because I am the only jerk who owns it. It got played a lot, but I only played one game, which took forever. Somehow, the right combination of dice killers came into play that there was no real way for the winners to ramp up to a quick win, so it kept going around the table, and by the end of it I wanted to just tap out.
Then I played Sentinels of the Multiverse, and this game is still pretty good! For some stupid reason I keep forgetting! We faced Omnitron, who hits hard and fast, but with some trickery (and most Tachyon, who can hit really really hard late game), we managed to win even after two of the three heroes went down, one to sacrifice and myself to the most bullshit card I've ever seen, a 15 HP monster, untargetable by most "take care of troubles" cards, that deals its current hit points in damage to each player at the start of the villain turn. It is insane, but we lived through it, even though it did end up that the two dead players spent the last few minutes playing the remaining new player's hand.
I downloaded something dumb, 30 Second Life, a short game in which you live a full life in 30 seconds, and the fun is trying to get all the different careers and stuff. There's only one button, WORK, and the more you push it, the more you succeed...including when you're a toddler and a corpse. It's...a bit weird with the assumptions that it makes, especially if you slack off at all, you are suddenly a junkie/prostitute/mental patient. I'm pretty sure junkies didn't become junkies just because they didn't work very hard. And I also don't know if my fingers are fast enough to even get all the options.
Also more Trackmania 2. I tried the basic editor, and couldn't figure out how it corresponded to the tracks I've totally seen thus far, so I opened up the advanced editor, and then I had NO IDEA how I could do everything. There were a lot of blocks, but there was also a lot that confused the piss out of me, so...I'm just going to race for now. Figure out the tracks before I try to make a challenge.
