Sometimes, the weirdest things can inspire one to move to greater heights, explore wider horizons, or make an invention reeking of utter genius. Sometimes boredom, sparked by Comedy Central's Mind of Mencia can well, make you want to create a homebrew game.

This is what happened to Hippie (thanks for the heads up!), who debuted the homebrew world by creating Stereotype Volleyball, his first game ever. The premise is actually simple: both players (who are situated at either end of the screen) are given five points at the start of the game, and the first one who gains 10 points wins. Thing is, whenever a player gets a point, the opponent loses one in exchange. So when a player gains 10 points, the other one is left with nothing.

Making the ball land on the ground grants a player a point, a well as whenever your opponent makes a mistake. So this is where you could put your mind games into use: you could psych out your opponent to make him screw up. The game is also peppered with sarcastic remarks whenever a player would lose a point ("Player 1 doesn't need an opponent to lose", "Player 2 ... um..."), so you could lose in purpose just so you could get a good laugh from the comments.

Eager to check out the game? The controls of the game are listed below:

Player 1:

  • Left: Move Left
  • Up: Jump
  • Right: Move Right
  • Down: Select/Continue/Confirm

Player 2:

  • Square: Move Left
  • Triangle: Jump
  • Circle: Move Right
  • Cross: Select/Continue/Confirm
You can download Stereotype Volleyball here. And while you're at it, maybe you might want to try Slime Volleyball, another volleyball homebrew game.
