Exactly. I found MeFi through memepool. The circle is now complete; now I am the master.

So, re: memepool, there is apparently an RSS feed at www.memepool.com/memepool.rss but this Cavanagh post somehow has a timestamp of Oct 7, 2005 according to GReader. Weird.

The first post may have been. The next sixteen probably aren't. Unless it was a very severe dare.

The side-scrolling suicide-intervening dove game poses far too many challenges at once. I couldn't save more than two high-powered executives from jumping before everything just fell apart. The game's near-impossibility reinforces its overall sardonic, dystopian theme. But despite all that, I LOL'd.

DU: "the brony-based animation tutorials!"
Posted by JHarris as a comment in Metafilter's last pony thread. I'm as excited as anyone that the dare post has seemed to spark a Memepool resurgence, but if it weren't there, the good stuff still has a way of filtering through.

As someone who cares more about Terry Cavanagh and indie games than whether or not memepool's back, this is pretty awesome.

I wish memepool had a twitter account so I could follow it in my life. Someone get on that.

They have an RSS feed. I don't know if that will let you "follow it in your life" though.

The Epic Sax Guy game is FPP-worthy just on its own.

So apparently Increpare (a ludicrously productive free indie game making machine in his own right) is taking the reins for a bit.

Indeed. I try to do what I can to find stuff that hasn't been subject to EXTREME exposure, but I am only one person and I also acknowledge that cool stuff gets found all the time.
