A totally realistic army simulator, complete with shitting in a toilet smaller than those found on aeroplanes for all your mates to see and staring out into the desert wishing you could see your family again.

And then getting half of your head blown off with no warning.
You mean this: http://www.theonion.com/video/ultrarealistic-modern-warfare-game-features-awaiti,14382/


Also my contribution: So Mario and the Princess finally hit it off - this is explained in a short text bit at the beginning of the game of course - and BAM! Mario Diaper Change!

Just think of what the Crysis engine could accomplish here!

A game where you guide a man as he plays WOW. Your not playing WOW your playing a guy who is playing WOW. (Yes I got that from the Onion.)

I was thinking of the toilet cleaner simulator

Aim of the game: Clean a variety of public toilets with a handful of not very useful cleaning utensils, you must get 100% cleanliness, but this will not be easy as the game gradually gets harder, with toilet goers coming in and making a mess as they try to do patterns with their ...you get the message.

If the clean bar drops to 0% clean, YOU LOSE!

It's a game where you watch a tree grow and help it doing so.

Still, I totally want to buy this game once it comes out. I must really be bored right now to be saying that with a straight face. I'm pathetic.
I wouldn't say "pathetic." It actually looks rather calming. Kind of like a slightly more interactive version of listening to calm music and looking out the window at trees.

Ok, got it. Eigther it just sends math problems at you, or, better yet, you are a lawmaker, you make bills and try to send them through congress, having to argue against AI congressmen to pass your bill, more points for controversial bills. The final boss you have to add a new ammendment to the constitution

Though I don't know anyone with a house floating a few miles up in the air. Lol.

But yeah, that's pretty much the idea behind the game; something to play before going to bed. It still isn't finished yet, sadly.

Imagine...An NPC is driving a vehicle. Let's say...A technical. You're on the gun. Objective? Don't shoot. It'll be TORTURE.

A game where you sit around playing as a guy who got stood up on a date. All you can do is eat bread, drink soup, and listen to his conciousness whine about being single.
Wait... shit. [http://store.steampowered.com/app/94000/?snr=1_4_4__13]

Stuck in traffic.

You drive a car stuck in really heavy traffic, you complete the level by getting to your destination. A short cutscene and you get your next mission which means driving through more heavy traffic. You can't run people over (no pedestrians) or go over the speed limit either or you get an instant game over. And if you just try to plough through the traffic your car breaks down and you have to start again with a really long unskippable cutscene in which you are about to get into your car, can't find the keys and look around the house for them, only to realise they were in your pocket the whole time. And also the weather is overcast and all the cars are grey. (I keep thinking of new ideas!)

Controls include:
Y - horn
X - grumble to yourself about how heavy the traffic is
B - shout 'OH COME ON!' out the window
A - sigh

The car doesn't have a radio or anything either so all you hear is constant beeping and other people shouting.

After the final level you wake up and realise it was all a dream! Then you have to do all the journeys for real in a new game+ mode in which...wait for it...you drive on the OTHER side of the road! (In your dream you were in a country that drives on the other side of the road!)

Come up with a concept for a game that sounds as boring as possible, most likely this game will be using the crysis or unreal engine to pump out superb graphics, but because the game is boring, the graphics capabilities will be made redundant.
So in other words, No More Heroes done with the crysis engine. The game of mowing lawns, pumping gas, picking up litter, and other things we make immigrants do.
Don't forget working your cat out


As for a concept. How about a high school life simulator, where you sit around and babysit a seven year old, hang out with your friends, and be a therapist. That's sounds boring as fuck. Oh wait.

They did it, and it was one fucking hell of a ride.

How about a game where you basically totter about all day, but at night monsters come out and wander aimlessly around.

It's not really the concept that makes a game boring, so much as the execution.
So Minecraft?

How about a game about drifting forever in space. Just you .. drifting forever ... in space. God, that'd be dull.

Captcha has gone all weird...

Wii Paint Houses. Use the wii mote to paint, then sit and watch the paint dry before starting the next coat.

EDIT

The game will have puzzle elements where you must select the right shade from 10,000 shades of blue based on vague and lenghty musings of the npc whose house your painting.
