Cave Story
I must admit: when I'm not doing the whole "having a life" thang, my time has been taken up by slowly trying to finish Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince before some bastard lets slip anything about the ending to me (mention even one hint of one important name or event in the book AND DIE), and playing through Cave Story. Cave Story is an indie PC game, coded by just one Japanese man known only as Pixel, later translated faithfully into English by people who are clearly awesome. It plays like a love note to every innovative platform game ever made, and if you've got a PC (and, ideally, a decent gamepad) I urge you to give it a try. Unzipping strange compression formats and applying patches can be a pain, which is in fact the reason I resisted playing Cave Story for so long, but it really is fantastic.
Anyway, here's the game, and here's the obligatory link to the Independent Gaming Source's interview with the game's creator.

Page 133 no longer displays & as &
Glitch in pg 23 where you get inf resources fixed.
Page 456 no longer gives you wicked paper cut.
URGH I WAS LOOKINGFORWARD TO PAEPR CUTDZ SHIET!!
i told you cave story is the best thing in the world for 2 hours.
pay up.
...and I would have told you, but nautone beat me to it. Though I can't for the life of me get past the giant mecha-wheely-gun thing, even with the heavy machine gun.
Oh man, I totally beat it, I played it for like 3 hours straight(a decent amount of time on the last part, fuck it's hard). The tank is a mother fucker, he just takes a long time, cause you have to kill his guns first. THE GAME IS SO GREAT!!!!
