I want to host a competition

[Slothy]

I would like some more browser based games in there. I'm just not familiar enough with what's out there that's actually any good these days aside from Quake Live.

[Jiro]

I'm down, I suppose.

[Slothy]

Love the enthusiasm Jiro.

[Jessweeee♪]

I will participate if we go with any Mortal Kombat game.

Mortal Kombat 4 Jax Ending - N64 - YouTube

TF2 is a bad idea because we'll all be bitching about our pings

[NorthernChaosGod]

I like the idea of a Super Mario Bros. run. Not to sure about an RE2 speed run though.

Quake Live
Team Fortress 2
Starcraft
Civilization 4
street fighter 2
Mortal Kombat 2
Touhou
R-Type
Mario Bros.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Resident Evil 2?

I'm so totally in! I would recommend Touhou 12.3: Hisoutensoku, by the way ( basically the expansion to 10.5 aka Scarlet Weather Rhapsody ). It's one of the official Touhou fighting games, and is probably easier for most people to get into than the shooters. Plus you can actually play this game directly against other players rather than just trying to get the highest scores.

And like the other Touhou games, you really don't need much to play it. I wouldn't be surprised if even Psy could make it work on his computer. *gasp*

So yeah. Totally add Touhou 12.3!!! =D

AoE2. And if anyone doesn't own that game yet, they aren't worth playing any game against (in my opinion they should also be summarily banned but whatever).

Agreed. Well, at least the part about how we totally must add this game. AoE2 is an awesome multiplayer game and should be avaiable to pretty much everyone.

Worms!

The games which hold the most appeal are ones which require interaction with other people. Whether it is done as teams or in a free-for-all, it is all good to me.

January approaches and decisions must be made to satisfy the demon lords.

First month will be Super Mario Bros. I'd love to kick things off with a multiplayer free for all, but working out which one and other logistics in a few days would be a bit difficult. Once we kick this thing off I'll include a poll to determine the next game, which absolutely will be something with multiplayer of some sort or another. The part of me that's been playing through Starcraft again for the last week wants to say FFA on Big Game Hunters, but we'll have to see. Quake Live may be a bit more doable for everyone seeing as it's browser based and free.

I like the idea of the second game being Starcraft though because if we did do it, I think I might try to not only make a video of the game (from the replay of course), but do some commentary as well for posting here. Of course I'd have to start figuring all of that stuff out as soon as I get home since I've never done it before.

Be sure to keep game suggestions coming though, even after things get started. Nothing is set in stone until the competition thread for each month is made.

[Laddy]

Rock Band, anyone? ;D

[Bolivar]

I'm not really a speed-run/self-imposed-challenge kinda gamer, so I'd definitely prefer live multiplayer matches so I can grind you all into dust. I think the older Starcraft/Warcraft/Command & Conquer/Age of Empires titles are all good ideas, as well as Team Fortress Classic, Half-Life Deathmatch, or Counter-Strike. I'm sure we could manage older Quake/Doom/Duke Nukem 3D as well.

[Ultima Shadow]

So, when is this getting started? This month, or next month?

[Pike]

It's already started! Check out the SMB thread.

It's already started! Check out the SMB thread.

Ooooooooooh! Well, that's what I get for completely ignoring and browsing past all the thread titles that doesn't immediately catch my eye. =O
