I've got a diversion for you!
 
Well, it will be a diversion if you are into fighting game physics... sorta... you'll see what I mean.
 
 
Basically, its a turn based fighter.  In single player, you control one fighter and fight a dummy.  To control the fighter, you have to manually manipulate 1 or more of 20 different joints on the fighters body, then advance the game 10 frames then adjust some again based on the reaction the fighter makes.
 
Single player is good for practice, but multiplayer is when it really shines.  You have to fight another player in the same way.  A timer starts at the beginning of the round and players have 20 seconds to manipulate the joints they want, then the game advances 10 frames, and both players have another 20 secs to make adjustments and so on.  Right now the servers are full a lot of the time, but they are working on a Windows based server so that players can host their own. (Or if you run a Linux box, you can host one now.)
 
That by itself is awesome, but add in the fact that dismemberments are possible and you have a bloody good game!  Careful though, its addicting!

That was uber brilliant. I just leapt into the air, did a flying kick to his head, then upon landing dived legs first into his crotch. How pro.

Been playing this for a couple of days now (found it through the excellent Fun-Motion blog)... lots of fun. I'm pretty bad at it though, so I think I'll stick to single player mode for a while.

I had no idea how to play, so I kept pressing space and won against the dummy.

Oh God, I just dislocated my shoulder somehow.
