While I was brainstorming (and playing red faction: guerrilla) I stumbled upon the phrase "Thor-gasm"  If this were a game what would it be like?  I can't dedicate the time to trying to make my own Thor-gasm game, but I offer it up to you, the fevrish pulsing strength of the underground, do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.

You're reading this, and you can code, I know you.  You want to try making it.  Nothing is stopping you, you sexy sexy beast.

Lightnin' strikes

Sex game is too easy. We need something better, something EDGiEr.

[Amon26]

well, sexual undertones could still work.

maybe you play a little guy with a lightning-rod on his back during a thunderstorm. you platform jump around and beat up robots, once your lightning-meter has peaked you can have a 'thor-gasm' and turn into thor, breaking the hell out of everything with mondo-electric kung fu.  busted robots give off electricity and so do power-cables.  if you short out too much stuff the lights in the town go out and you're arrested!

either that or you're actually thor. and you have to keep zapping the power in apartments full of people gettin' it on to stop them from having babies. .. because.. Thor.. ... hates.. babies?.. iunno!

Some of the gods go crazy and start a killing spree, lusting the blood of all their enemies.

[Radix]

Yeah, just any game about norse gods that makes you feel fucking metal.

[Craig Stern]

You play Thor. His kink meter builds gradually as you lay waste to enemies until finally, he can unleash a special destructive lightning attack...from his crotch.

offtopic, but that's fucking funny
red faction guerrilla is a joke.

ontopic, i wouldn't push the "sex" of the name.

There was a game called Wargasm, which from the demo I remember as some kind of weird third-person action tank-and-helicopter thing. Thorgasm is cooler.

I'm thinking basically a cross between The Sims, Mortal Kombat, Conways Game of Life, and Age of Mythology.

Essentially, you have an entire world populated by Thors.  These Thors could form Thor-communities, build Thor-houses, raise Thor-families and generally live Thor-lives.  But mostly they just fight.  Horribly violent fighting, summoning the full power of their physical strength as well as their lightning abilities.  Through this fighting, all of the Thor-actions occur, and the system of interactions between Thors Develops.  Thors are born, and Thors die. 

However, you play as a single non-Thor who has fallen through a dimensional portal and ended up in this world of Thors.  You find that you have the power to influence and control a few Thors, and must gain in influence among the Thors in order to rule a Thor-empire while waging war against other tribes, kingdoms, empires and bloody-bloody suburbs of Thors.

Will the protagonist ride a Thorse?

[Amon26]

just one horse? oh cmon lets give him 8

[Mipe]

Eight-legged horse, rather.

Imagine a tsunami that is actually made of thor jizz.

Zero-player games are great, but hard to get right. It usually ends up with the population either collapsing or ballooning into an unmanagable size. You also quickly realize the weakness of any one player in this game, and becoming an emperor is pretty hard unless the game is contrived to make it easier for you.

Anyhow, I figure a game more about controlling a single character involving lots of death, guitar solos, and, of course, Thor-gasms, would be most fitting.

[r.kachowski]

ok, so you're kaiser wilhelm riding a bicycle through the after-life in a thunderstorm.

having died in the netherlands, your soul is now tender of the norse gods. to gain entrance to valhalla you must appease thor and perform mad tricks on your hot pink bmx. unfortunately thor is getting it on with some totally awesome scandic babes and drinking like, fucktons of mead so he's pretty riled and squirting bolts all over the shop.

also because you're wearing your pickelhaube, your electrical conductivity is somewhat dramatically increased. these bolts are gonna be coming at you like soapy magnets from a fat man's bathtub. luckily you can dodge them at the last minute by doing an inverse 720 barspin off of the rudimentary viking vert ramps.

you're gonna have to bring out your a-game in order to appease thor, who it turns out was rocking  wheels before you were the prince of prussia. gameplay then switches to the ultimate game of horse, where you need to out trick the son of odin and show off the mad skills of the german colonial empire. this would likely be in the form of parappa the rapper rhythm style input whereby correctly timed key presses would be transformed into shit hot tricks.

after this there is some stupid obligatory plot twist that ruins everything where it turns out you are hallucinating the whole thing on your death bed, or that your wussy pink bmx was actually the anti-mjolnir - containing enough anti-awesomeness to neutralise thor's bitchin getup.

whatever, at the end you sit on the throne smirking like in the holy diver video and the credits roll up

UGH! you found my favorite movie of all time! I was hoping it was obscure enough that nobody would correlate it!  Then again, I forgot I was on TigSource, where obscurity is to nerds what crazy is to britney spears

A thor-gasm is like an orgasm, except it's felt in the arm veins
