I randomly rewatched the old video of Team Canada's humiliating defeat at the hands of Team America and wondered...

...do people have it in them to COMPETE? Can they assemble 3-person teams for HOCKEY? domination?

What the fuck is this?
http://www.hockeyquestionmark.com/

It's an awesomely shitty 3D rendered first-person multiplayer hockey game. It's laggy as fuck and controls like garbage. Still, if you embrace the complete garbage-like quality of it and recruit some friends it's quite fun and there is some skill to it.

How the fuck is this going to work?
If people actually are interested in playing, I'll volunteer to host/schedule/officiate/record/commentate over a double-elimination bracket. I'll refrain from playing because the game has a pretty serious host-advantage.

If you have it in you to STRIKE THE ICE you will need to:
1) Get the game (version .55 for windows)
2) Recruit two friends
3) Make sure they get the game
4) Post ITT with your team name and roster
5) Await scheduling

I would totally be up for this.

im down

down to smash some fucks.

commonwealth VS us of a.

yes

I'M TEMPTED.



DEVILS! FUCK YA!

Okay, I'll play.

oi, oi

im like qwop in this game so we're on equal footing

The Coolmenwealth: Colonic, Sticky, Jordie

As-of-yet-unnamed-team: Nienhaus, Nienhaus' Friend, Kraso

Free agents: Miggles, Thanatos, nsos

Word. Bonus points if you guys create some kind of team icons.
If you guys would like to schedule an exhibition match between your teams to practice and show off let me know, I can set the server up whenever you need it.

Technically if we crammed the free agents into a loose coalition of mercenary players we could do a 3-team tournament already. Someone just gets a first-round by but it's not a big deal.

i have a team planned i just need to get them to join

Leaders, what is the status of your teams? On a scale of one hockey stick to five hockey sticks how ready are you to go?

1 hockey stick
i forgot about this and havent gotten anyone yet

Will there be an option to spectate?
This seems like it'd be fun to spectate.

Nothing to spectate until people get back to me and confirm they have teams.

I plan on recording the matches and getting some hockey commentary over them so everyone can enjoy. Apparently the Hockey Hype is not at sufficient levels yet though.

COME ON FUCKERS GET YO FRENS

deadest game

I am a stocky white male who has a family history of Hockey players.
I only fight for the good Ol' USA.

recruit me pls

this is the coolmanwealth team flag

it perfectly describes our ideals.

What's it like getting a ticket for leaving your car window rolled down too far?

Team "We don't know jackshit about hockey"

Are ready.

The /sp/ approved name for Hockey for people who don't know what the fuck Hockey is is

"Icefight"

furpuck

Come on we have two teams, We don't know jackshit about hockey Vs coolmanwealth.

Then get out of holidays, geeze.

Holy fuck we need to get some goddamn scheduling in here.

This got me remembering a finnish hockey browser game that we played like 10 years ago... and it surprisingly is still going and doing well! Here's a link if you're interested. I can't test how good it is right now since I'm at work, but it was good fun back then, at least:

If anyone still has interest in this game, crypticsea, the developer, released version 0.62a earlier today.
