    Would it really have a horde of mining robots? Or should it be more accurately described as a Hurd?

    Looking at this usage and this list of Animal Group Names I suggest - and I am not making this up:

    Animal: Gnus
    Group: Implausibility

    Well, if you're going to compare it to real fencing...

    I've taken a couple of martial arts, and let me tell you, Street Fighter does not live up to it.

    All joking aside, the game might be cool. But, if I were looking for some real competitive light saber action, I'd probably just build a few boffers and go at it with some friends.

  8. Other good options: by cgenman · · Score: 3, Informative · on The Last Games You'd Play?

    Eyetoy-based gaming. They almost never require finger movement. *plug* Like Eyetoy:Antigrav *plug*

    DDR. No fingers required.

    Light-gun games. Use one hand to aim and the other to pull the trigger.

    RPG's. Most menu-based games play fine with feet controllers, or without fine motor movements.

    Point-n-click adventure games like The Longest Journey.

    Singstar.

    As for last games suggestions it would really depend upon what kinds of things you enjoy playing. I'd go Ikaruga on the GC (not Dreamcast), and Radiant Silvergun on the Saturn. I'd plug Guitar Hero, but it's usually enough to induce arthritis in most people. Katamari Damacy (PS2). Ore no Ryouri (PS1). Bionic Commando (NES). I'd get some interested friends together and throw some Saturn Bomberman parties.

    Really, what you should do is grab your gaming friends, have them bring over their NES / Atari / whatever old systems they have around, and just play as many different things as possible one night a week every week. By the time your hands go, you'll have played through a slice of history, and you'll have some very close friends.

    I guess that, at that rate, I won't be saying "who?" in a week or 2.

    Just be careful you don't ask who's the band online when your nephew is nearby.
