I think it's what you'd get if David Lynch wrote interactive fiction. So: yes.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Then we played a couple of games of Zombie Fluxx. I have decided that Fluxx (especially Zombie Fluxx) is just a stupid ridiculous amount of fun.
There is now also a Monty Python Fluxx. I haven't played it yet.

Monty Python Fluxx is a lot of fun! And not just because you can draw the Holy Hand Grenade!

I hate Apples to Apples. Subjective games and me are definitely non-mixy things.
So much this. Even with the right group. It's just never that funny, and it's not a game.

OK. World of Goo may be the awesomest game ever.

Heh. It can be really damn hard, though.

I'm only playing the demo right now (altho I have decided to buy it) and while several puzzles are tricky I haven't "impossible" yet. It definitely has "just one more time" juju.
And Mal's playing it so he can learn to mouse, and loving it, and it doesn't involve killing stuff as they way to solve problems, so that's good too.

OK. I just finished the demo of World of Goo and installed the full version.
I am slightly appalled at how long it took me to figure out the last puzzle in the demo (the one where you have to work your way out of some strange creature's digestive tract). Even with all the hints! Clever.
