Wow, I had so much fun last night! 2 of my brothers and 2 friends came over to my house to play some video games. We spent our entire night playing both Hokra and Towerfall. Both games were incredibly intense, very fair and very competitive.
Hokra, the 2 vs 2 sport that plays a lot like hockey, was a real hit. We swapped the teams every match and it was always very close. In fact, in some of the matches, we were so evenly matched that it took minutes to even score a few points. In Hokra, that is incredible. This game only displays 4 squares, a smaller square and 4 colors, yet is deeper than most big budget games...
We also played a shitload of Towerfall. Again, it was very competitive and very fair. We had to employ hardcore, complex tactics to win. We played a few variants, though the weirdest one was a thing where if we shot an arrow while our quiver was empty, we died. We quickly stopped playing this as some players favored rapid fire methods. They lost those games and were dominated by the players who favored careful, accurate shots.
The best part of the night how we stopped using each other's names. Instead, we started using the in-game character's names! It was fucking hilarious... It all started when we unlocked a new character, Ancient Exile. It wasn't long before we were talking to each other as Ancient Exile, Turncloak Soldier, The Last of the Order and Assassin Prince.
Here are some paraphrased quotes from our night:
"Ooooooh shit, The Last of the Order is on fire!"
"Assassin Prince takes them all down!"
"Ancient Exile is fucking dominating!"
"Holy fuck, Turncloak Soldier dodged that shit!"
