This game is the ultimate representation of the Internet. It has chaos, freedom, griefers, trolls, anonymous douchebagery, hilarious failure and whatever else you call this:
I had a 1v1 with Lukasm. It actually worked surprisingly well, because 1v1 is great for inciting selfishness, and Lukasm is quite good. It was close up until 7-7, but then I got 4 in a row and won.
What do you people know about co-op platformers? A friend and I are thinking about making one.
I haven't played that one. Although Transformice is great fun, I do want to make a game where co-op isn't simply an impediment like it is in NSMB Wii, but perhaps even a necessity (i.e. no one-player mode).
I think a game with both one and two player mode would be good, but with exactly the same level design. With one player, you can only play in the part at the bottom of the screen, but you can still see the top. Then, in the two player mode, you can reach the top part of the level, where there are new areas to explore, new challenges, new places to fight, new powerups, etc.
By constantly seeing the promise of the two player part of the game, you'll be want to play it even more.
Dragon Age continues to impress me with it's depth. Having the characters in the party talk back and forth is really entertaining! I'd put it up there with listening to the talk shows on the in the GTA games as far as quality, because I often stop what I'm doing to listen to what the other characters are saying to each other. Also, I got a Mabari in my party. Who's a good boy! Who's a good boy! Yes, yes you are! Want to clean the blood of daddy's armor? Dawwww, kisses!
Red Dead Redemption co-op is fun. The only crap part is that the EXP to time spent ratio sucks.
I had to stop playing BC2 due to lag issues. Don't know what they did but the last update made the game so full of lag that I can miss someone standing right in front of me with my gun against their head. Sniping? Near impossible for me now. Even running through the environment often involves rubber banding.

That dog is immensely useful. I highly recommend having him go look for stuff every single time you enter a new area.
Yeah, that's the only way to complete a few of the good armor sets (namely the Effort armor set, and I think the Diligence one as well. I could be wrong, though.)

About the only way you're going to get around that is to grind the hideouts, specifically Twin Rocks. If you run that one with a group and are good at chaining together kills you can rack up a fair amount of XP in a short amount of time. Not nearly as much as you could at release, mind you, as they've nerfed the open-world XP considerably, but enough that it'll make level progression tolerable.

I totally agree with this. LittleBigPlanet is one platformer in recent memory that does this very well.
Now that my superawesome new computer is up and running, I'm playing some mad Burnout Paradise. It's fun, but I imagine I'll tire of it in, well, not too long. Mayhaps some multiplayer action will mitigate that.
There was an old game I had on a computer years ago that was somewhat like a really, really simplified Warcraft game and I cannot remember the title of it to save my life. The most memorable part of it was that when your gnomes (your weakest minions) died they would cry out in a pathetic little voice "But I'm just a gnome!". Does anyone know the name of that game?

I agree about making a new Transformice thread.

In any case, Mass Effect is entertaining me for now.
