Macero, Necropolis, there's a pool in slagtown...beach at Stormfront, etc...just any out of the way place that has water in it, really...hell, you can probably fish at that pond in the crater forest too.

Also:  We really wouldn't have had an excuse NOT to kill him if we were still super-baby. 

Continue on and laugh in the face of death as you pass him by, for we are borderline retarded and know no fear!

Are bullet hell games out of the question? If not, Ikaruga is brutal. Just. Brutal.

I absolutely adore bullet hell games, but my lappy can't take them sadly

Buy the latest Humble Bundle. Between Hammerfight and VVVVVV you get some challenging games for whatever you feel like paying.

I know it's a longshot, but if you have a Gamecube or Wii (they're backward compatible, right?) track down F-Zero GX. So fun, so frustrating. This is on of the middle story mode levels on Normal difficulty. Now imagine Very Hard difficulty.

Oh GOD I hated that level on harder difficulties. I don't think I could ever beat it on Very Hard.

Yeah...I'm fucking insane in case you haven't noticed.

I'm interested in starting an LP and wanted to see if anyone would take a gander at it.  It'll be the basic Nuzlocke challenge run through any pokemon game in either generation II or III, POSSIBLY IV.  Not sure, depends on how well I can get things set up.

So...anyone interested?  I'll try to keep things interactive and updated regularly, and once my box starts getting full you guys can decide my party pretty much.  I plan on using the catch the first one you see policy, but I won't catch repeats.  At all.

Difficult games... I have a lot of roguelikes if they're your thing. Not all of them have good story, but they're certainly difficult, at least for newbies. Be sure to research them since I'm only linking to downloads.

ADOM: http://www.adom.de/
Nethack: http://www.nethack.org/ (variant Slash'EM): http://www.slashem.org/ (variant UnNethack): http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/unnethack/ (variant Sporkhack): http://sporkhack.org/
Angband (and variants): http://angband.oook.cz/
There are plenty more, but I'm not willing to link to them because... well, I just don't feel like it, okay? But I do know their names, and you can google for them.
Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (as mentioned a hundred times)
Caves of Qud
Cataclysm (be sure to add "roguelike" to the search)
Prospector (be sure to add "roguelike" to the search)
DoomRL

As I said, I'm pretty familiar with Roguelikes.  I've beaten ADOM and Nethack several times each and don't really feel like starting a new one right now.

Spelunky is always a good recommendation.

Been playing that as well.  Pretty fun, but not as consistently difficult like I'd like considering how much random content there is.
