Hmm, I would have put this in steam, but now that's merged into shooters I guess it'll have to go here.

I don't think anyone still plays audiosurf, maybe we can get a competition going again?

Someone mentioned the horror that is Thriller last night.
We could start up some sort of terrible Michael Jackson Audiosurf tournament?

They've released an 'international update' which changes a few things. That might get things going.

I occasionally open it up. Guess I could post a challenge if noone else does.

Well, shada did. But I don't think anyone will bother with that frankly silly length (twss) of song.

Get to it bubbles! Supply us with a challenge! (that's a few minutes long thanks)

I dunno, I might try it if I feel like killing myself.

Perhaps that 40 minutes would be better spent taking asprin.

be more fun, certainly.

Song tagged for 5punkyness.

Do that, nice soft song to get started.

Netbook mode should be excellent for my graphically-hampered laptop. But then AudioSurf has always seemed a bit heavy for what it is.
Also, I downloaded some Giovanni & Sebastian last night, so I'm definitely giving that a go, you fucking dwarf.
