a friend and I were loitering this afternoon, and suddenly he verbally exploded, rapidly speaking in tongues... apparently about a game we needed to go make in our basements
this is what I extracted from his crazed babblings:
most of it is a strategy game of some sort (potentially turn-based battles)
it features an npc with super eccentric mannerisms who is dripping with badassery. this npc is the sort that everyone feels is much more awesome than the main character, and should instead be the main character. let's name him sam for now
the game features several difficulties
you start playing with a normal 'gamepad' controller of some sort
beating the game on hard mode unlocks a third difficulty setting "super hard mode", which is super hard
beating the game on super hard mode will unlock Nightmare mode
in Nightmare mode you play as the aforementioned badass npc, but instead of the strategy gameplay of the previous difficulties, the game transforms into an shooter of some sort where you shoot the enemies by strumming your invisible air-banjo-kalele while pointing it at them. beating Nightmare mode with reversed controls in under 10 minutes (there's a setting to set the fps up without a maximum, skipping frames that can't be drawn on the screen fast enough) and <a few other ridiculous requirements> unlocks Super Nightmare mode
to play in Super Nightmare mode, you must hook up at least 3 wiimotes (each played by a different player), a guitar (guitar hero guitar, assumedly), and a microphone. the guitarist will somehow strap their wiimote onto the end of their guitar. whilst screaming into the microphone, he or she must strum random notes on the guitar while aiming the wiimote at the desired enemies. the other two wiimotes control the legs of the character and the head/various psychokinetic abilities of the character.
beating the game on Super Nightmare mode will destroy the universe.
