Monday Flash: Moist And Obtuse

A quick one tonight, as it’s late already and I’m at the point in drinking where it’s go to sleep soon or soldier on and call in sick tomorrow morning. That I’m still not entirely sure which road to go down is strangely reassuring to the bit of me that worries I’m getting old [...]

Monday Flash: Only Not

A bit late this week, as most of my time yesterday was spent in the dark on a plane next to somebody who was clearly Somebody, just not anybody I know. At any rate, here’s Space Hopper.
You are a little Space Man, and each level has a set number of stars that need to [...]

There And Back Again

I’m on a plane to Las Vegas in a few hours for a long weekend catching up with family. I don’t have any relatives out there, this is just apparently how we roll now. I’m have a little trouble coming to terms with the whole thing, namely because I:

1. am not good at gambling.
2. am [...]

I can’t decide what I like more: that the moves he pulls in this clip – bouncing grenades off walls to kill an opponent, covering a doorway in mines – are all completely doable in the game itself, or the entire [...]

On Bullet Smarts, Inventing Fighting, And Beauty

Speaking of Team Fortress 2 (as I haven’t been, with the exception of a link in last night’s Halo 3 ramble), in addition to being probably the best contender for multiplayer game of the year developer Valve has come up with some of the smartest advertising for the game I’ve seen in a long, long [...]

The Fight, And The Finishing Thereof

So this Halo 3 thing all the kids are banging on about? Got it Friday (due to having the best girlfriend ever) and beat it last night. But then, with eight to ten hours of rather linear “if it moves and doesn’t sound like Nathan Fillion or Adam Baldwin, shoot it” gameplay, that’s [...]

Monday Night Oddities

From me to you, a bit of Flash game weirdness to start your week off right.
First up, there’s Bean Boing:
Help a lone coffee bean reach that big cup of black in the sky by drawing lines of bubbles under him as he falls. Go for the surreal visuals and whimsical gameplay, stay for the [...]
