Perhaps we could have race of sorts...
Pick a fairly common, easyish game that most everyone has played (my first thought was Wolfenstien 3D ) and have a race to see who finishes first.
It would depend largly on the honor system though

Holy God in love became
Perfect man to bare my blame

W3D's not exactly my cup of tea. >_>
Maybe something like Metroid Zero Mission (fairly easy to get, GBA) or Chrono Trigger (fairly easy to get, er, through alternate channels) That way we could simply send a screenshot of the ending/ending save with timer included. MZM in particular is a pretty quick play, and relatively easy in its own right--I'd recommend it if you're going for speed competitions.
the hardest part will be getting us to agree on a game, I sense...

"Sonuna" Taranimak likes Bauxite, Copper, Green jade, the color navy, cloaks, ballistas, cats for their aloofness and hydras for their seven heads. When possible, she prefers to consume Dr Pepper and ramen.
She lives at a relaxed pace. She tends to avoid crowds. She has a fertile imagination. She is completely disorganized. She is very distant and reserved. She tends not to openly express emotions. She needs caffeine to get through the working day.

I wouldn't mind a good game maker. My only concern would be that some would be better versed in its abilities to start out...
As far as the race idea goes, I don't think any platform games would be the ideal option since we can't guarentee everyone shares a common platform. I think a downloadable shareware game (maybe even a demo) would be ideal.

So far this sounds the best.

EK can just send them to you!STRYPER wrote:Yeah but then you get into the whole notion of breaking the law and illegally downloading things from hard to find websites
I think it'd be cool to race through Super Mario Bros. or SMB3 or something. I know that some emulators can "record" all your actions so someone else can load that file with the rom and it will play through the way the first party played.
Also making a game would be cool, but time consuming.
... SMRPG! >_>
you knew I had to say it, right?...
I like the concept of making a game; the problem is the time issue. If it would be over two months it might be reasonable, though....

Ahem.
Yeah I have a game scripted but just stink at actually putting things like that together.
Alas the awesomeness of a multitude of Nintendo and a couple Capcom characters in: TRIFORCE will never come to fruition.
Unless I just make it a comic...
