My friend made a game:

Hell is Other People

The premise is that you're a airplane and you shoot other airplanes. It's 2D, it's really simple. It's also multiplayer.

But not really. See, what it does is when you play, it records what you do, and then uses the 'ghost' of your ship as the trajectory of one of the opponents for the next player that plays. It starts relatively easy, but slowly adds more ships, so not a single game is the same, and as people realize new tactics the game develops into something completely different. It's concept is pretty amazing.

Yeah, uh, but it doesn't actually work.

I just got the image of a midwife and a woman giving birth swinging towards each other on a trapeze - when they meet, the midwife pulls the baby out. The knife juggler is standing on the floor and cuts the umbilical cord with a a knifethrow.

Works for me. I think it's actually really fun--especially when I realized I was playing against two of myself.

Sometimes I see a terrible post so I click and look back at every post that person has ever made. That is why I never have time to actually post things.

That's weird. None of the ghosts actually move for me.

Yeah, apparently it's something that's been happening to some people, I've told him about it.

I've made it to about 17 ghosts.
