Aw, man, I just really dig Shell Rider. It's one of the few tunes I occasionally go back to, as opposed to giving it a quick listen and never think about it again.

Planetarium is cool too, though. Brings me back to my days playing Mario Kart 64.

And now I'm sad, because I remembered just how much happier I was in those days, despite the fact that my childhood was relatively sucky.

I don't mind watching someone play even if they're not very skilled at it. Even fumbles can be entertaining to see.

Team Fortress 2 I think is good example of a game that plays the absurdity of it's game mechanics for humor.

Team Fortress 2 is a good example of pretty much everything. Seriously, though I'm sure that many people will disagree with me on this, it's ridiculously perfect.

I remember a guard getting stuck in the ground in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. He kept yelling guardly stuff while the chase theme was playing non-stop. I tried every single weapon before calling in some other assassins to help out, who were just as stumped as me. They eventually ran off, and eventually I just left him alone too.

It's better when you give voices to all the characters on-screen, kind of like a Let's Play between you and whatever friends are around. Spontaneous humor, essentially.

Thumbstick controls? This is a console game, isn't it?

What would be the controls for the PC? WASD and IJKL?

[up]I believe you need to have a gamepad to play.

Default keyboard controls are WASD and the arrow keys.

I would also think Goat Simulator is a good example of an absurdly comedic game and it was a game designed around it's glitches and physics.

And I was one of those rare people who was under a rock and only heard of Candy Crush through the copyright storm. Which did not leave a favorable position.

[up]Same here, though it does sound like, asshat behaviour of the company aside, it's actually a pretty well-designed game. I don't really like such predatory designs aimed at a human's addictions, but this is most definitely a competent example of such.

[up]I love Candy Crush for the story and art design. It enrages me more over people not talking about the Bubblegum troll or how the characters are paper-puppets.

When I first heard of Candy Crush I presume it was just another Bejewled clone. It was just one I actually watched someone play a few stages that I understood the genius that was the game. A shinning example of how to be innovative in a old formula.

Never heard of that "copyright storm" though. What happened?

@Heatth: Long story short, someone made a game call Candy Swipe sometime before Candy Crush Saga was released. The guys at CCS tried to sue Candy Swipe and a shit storm ensued.

However, it seems like the legal issues have been resolved and both games are still available:

Then there's the time King tried to copyright the words "candy" and "saga."

My mother plays Candy Crush. I sometimes try to tell her about these controversies.
