You people really need to check out Bontago (http://bontago.com/).     Its a game in which you build towers out of blocks to get enoguh influence to reach the center flag.  You also get weapons such as bombs and volcanos, which you can throw at enemy towers.
Theres a channel on gamesurge where we organize games(Bontago multiplayer only works by IP, no server browser yet)  Its, #bontago

Screetshots from sandbox mode!

My really big tower(Looks smaller then it is)

And now I use clear blocks, which sets off a huge explosion on the bottom, causing the entire tower to fall!

Just use the DigiPen link and put in bogus crap.  They don't send a verification email or anything.


But if they do, I'd assume that dgadasdbasdg@aol.com is gonna be mighty miffed  :lol:

Singleplayer is boring, you are right there, Venmoch.
However, multiplayer is just great. Everyone builds within his territory, then you mix in some weapons, ...
You get the general idea.
There is also an IRC channel where people set up games, #bontago.

I can win over 7 computers...(Not working as a team, team AI is b0rked, they all try to buld a huge tower and they just dump blocks somewhre)
To win over the comps, just build a huge tower at start, and throw a few bombs and volcanos.  Drop your missles on the ground since you don't want them.
