Hello, best thread!
Has anyone here played 'Brainpipe'? It's a PSN mini, and it was clearly made for the express intent of being played on... Things. It's deeply surreal, it throws contextless words at you as you play, and playing well is equated to transcending.
My friend who brought me my first few PS3 experiences while we roomed together (Mr. D) had acquired the night's entertainment, and we decided to look for supplemental experiences on PSN. We found brainpipe and bought it immediately. Neither Mr. D nor myself were terribly amazing at it, but another guest (Mr. C) found his way to the playstation hours later. When we had that wrenching realization of 'Oh god, where's Mr. C, when did we see him last' and flooded the house, kicking on lights and looking for him, we shattered his concentration and he immediately crashed, ending his winning streak. We have no idea how long he had been going.
His high score stands to this day.
