Monty Python Fluxx is a lot of fun! And not just because you can draw the Holy Hand Grenade!
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

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.

I love Apples to Apples. Nyah.

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.

Orange Box sure gets addicting quick. Just a lil more and I'll stop. The next time an auto save happens. Ooh, the next check point. The next time humans are in the picture. The next time.... ya, and then it's 3:30 in the morning. DOH!

By Orange Box, you mean Half Life 2, right?
I encourage you to try Team Fortress 2. But spend some time watching the director's commentaries first as they will go a long way towards explaining the game and with 9 player classes, you'll need it.
That makes the game sound complicated, it's not. It just has a lot of variety.
