With a few friends... This is INTENSE.
Idea-man1: You know... I was sitting at home watching Ichi The Killer with my kids and -
Idea-man2: What again?
Idea-man1: Listen to me! So there I was watching this dude getting needles shoved up his scrotum and ... I yawned.....
Idea-man2: (sprays coffee all over the desk) You WHAT?? Yawned?? Are you insane???
Idea-man1: (musing) You see... all this violence - it's everywhere. The market is packed and I'm also damn sick of how the morale-patrole always makes a big deal whenever we make games about what all the kids can watch on TV and on the street - day in and day out.
Idea-man2: Dude... I told you that mega-spliff was a "sharer" - a "sha-rer"!
Idea-man1: You know what my favorite game actually is?
Idea-man2: Sure, you told me many times.. Postal and Carmageddon - you can never decide.
Idea-man1: I lied - I just had to say that or they'd have filed my application under "wuss". No.. My favorite game is actually Pong. So I want to make that our next project... a tribute to the beauty of returning balls to eachother...
Idea-man2: My advice is that you better ask whoever to return YOUR balls.
Idea-man1: Just a clean, shaved game of Ping Pong. That's my vision!
Idea-man2: Well.... I like the part about the "clean and shaved"... So... how do you kill eachother? What weapons?
Idea-man1: What the-.. It's Ping Pong! Aka tabletennis!
Idea-man2: What about women.. any women in it?
Idea-man1: Sure...
Idea-man2: Can you buy them?
Idea-man1: No.... you can UNLOCK them...
Idea-man2: Unlock?? Now we're talking, baby!
Idea-man1: And there should be this focus-shot.. Matrix-style that slows time down and techno-beats as the rally prolongs...
Idea-man2: Focus-shot, eh? There's a sexual twist on that somewhere.. gimme a minute...
Idea-man1: No.. you- oh... Just gimme the green light and I promise that my next game will get banished on at least three continents.
Idea-man2: Deal!
So... it's all about the intensity and focus of tabletennis. And I dare anyone not to like this game. I brought it with me to a friends summerhouse... 6 friends, gallons of alcohol, beaches with girls on 'em - but what did we do? Tabletennis, tabletennis, tabletennis. Highly addictive and the day you meet your match - get ready for eyeball-exploding intensity. Best multiplayer sports-title in a long time.
Idea-man1: So, my friend.. we've been playing Table Tennis for 17 hours straight now - what do you think?
Idea-man2: Hmmm... I really like the way the girls sweat and groan..
Idea-man1: Oh for f- sake.... Let's just play.
