Can't beleive OSU! wasn't mentioned :(
Elite beat agent doesn't get anywhere close to osu :P

The game that gave me the most chills is Korsakovia (a mod for hl2).
There's no gore or scary beasts, but it plays with ur brain and mindf*cks your, and is more of a psychological game.

and that third indie game BLEW my mind. That's what i call original indie games ;)

Soooo weird, right? It's tough, too. Let me know if you manage to complete all the stages... there are a couple I was just unable to pull off.

Yup, hard and challenging just like I love it! (Just like the end levels of Money Seize).
Great stuff, I finished all the platformers (but 3-4 kept killing me when i touched the star?)

For the section two, so far I did everything exept:
2-1 (I go like slightly too far?)
2-6 (I get to checkpoint, then cant make it back)

EDIT: yea I did 2-1 over and over and I finally got it. It looks like you sometimes go further, or maybe I was hitting it couple pixels to the left.

Great episode! The NES nostalgia mods were pretty interesting. This reminds me of an old episode of The Screen Savers.

This mod is ancient by today's standards, but I wonder if people still mod NES's like this with 2009 computer parts.
