I’m not in the Retro group, but I vote for Snakes on a Cartesian Plane anyway, just because it’s awesome.

I vote Pel.

Or Atomic Super Boss.

But preferably Pel.

Snakes on a Cartesian Plane is a wonderful choice. I vote for Lou for the hostile takeover. He can be a flotation device!

Actually, for the running group, you can have either Canabalt or RER.
EDIT: Or QWOP

I vote Hell Tetris for retro. Who says retro must be pixelated?

RER & Snakes on a Cartesian Plane

Must be time for a hostile take over. I’ll be your new host.
The good news: you can choose the games for the semi-finals.
The bad news: the choices are:
Running group – Canabalt, Canabalt or um… say Canabalt.
Retro group – Atomic Super Boss, Ne Touchez Pas, or Snakes on a Cartesian Plane.
You have 24 hours to cast your vote. Go!

None of the above.

Why don’t we let racefan take over. I can PM him asking.

But what of the hostile takeover?

There was a hostile takeover of the hostile takeover. It happens.

Anyway, having the co-host take over is the only logical thing to do – otherwise, why even have a co-host?

race can’t do it because he’s not allowed to know the games or anything. So now we’ll just have to wait.

That only made sense while he was still in it, but he’s been eliminated, so it should be OK for him to know the games now.

It’s not that it’s not OK, it’s that hip hasn’t told me.

And, quite frankly, I haven’t asked.

But you are the co-host. If hiperson abandons, it’s up to you to see this thing through.

I can’t do that without knowledge of the games to be used.

Though if I had to pick my own game, I’d just combine everyone into one group and move straight to the finals, with the final game being Avoid Cactus.

I vote Pixel Purge for representing everything that is a retro arcade game. Simple mechanics, simple audio, simple gameplay while being deceptively difficult. I mean, it pretty much EMBODIES arcade gaming at its best imo. Otherwise I hold no opinion other than NOT ATOMIC SUPER BOSS HAX, thanks for listening.

Too long.

Allow me. Round coming up.
