Wii stuff
Wednesday, March 10th, 2010Magic Genie
Thursday, January 28th, 2010I found a fun little game on the internet the other day that is a fun waste of time. http://us.akinator.com/ asks series of questions to find out who you’re thinking about. Just pick someone famous, real or fictional, and in a few questions, it will give you a guess as to who it is. The database must be pretty intensive because it has picked out every character that I’ve tried on it so far.
Have fun
Expansions
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010The world makes its money with expansions. Buy a car, fine. You can get out the door without it hurting too much if you know how much you should really be paying. But they get you with the expansions. All the little features that add on to the bill. Video game systems have come down in price recently, but you don’t get the full set that you used to. Used to be that the Nintendo came with 2 controllers, a gun, 2 games, and everything else that you needed. Now the systems only come with 1 of the 4 controllers that you need, no gun, and usually, no game. Even board games are released with only a portion of the game before the expansion gives you full access to the entire board game. And what are movie sequels, prequels, reboots, etc., but expansions.
Expansions, they’ll get ya. That’s right Blondie. Get ya, get ya, get ya. One way or another.
Crush more castles
Friday, October 2nd, 2009I’ve found that I generally enjoy those simple physics-based games that are free out there on the web. The newest version of the “Crush the Castle” is a great game that’s lots of fun. The last game kept having you reset back to the beginning if you could’t crush the castle in a certain number of tosses. This latest game is cool in that the levels are all designed by different people on the web, and there aren’t necessarily limits on how many shots that you take. You do get rewards for only using a limited number of shots, but you can retry a level easily without having to go back through and redo every other level that you already made it through.
My favorite levels were the Trojan Horse level and the Castle Fights Back level.
Have fun!
Oh, and you can get it on the iPhone too. Is there no limit to the infiltration of the blasted fruit!
Buy Video Card
Friday, March 20th, 2009It’s hard to believe how far computer technology has come in just the past ten years. Back in the 19′s no one could dream of the speed that today’s video cards would have. If they did dream, then the cost was just amazing. So go ahead, experience the culmination of decades of research and technology at a fair price and buy a video card online, then get blasted away in the newest video games.
Trebuchet away!
Friday, March 6th, 2009I love it when a very simple (and free) web-based game can just capture my attention for the better part of an hour. Good thing that I’m not at work right now with this thing. The concept is very simple. Time your release of stones thrown with a trebuchet to knock down walls, decapitate soldiers, and bring down the king. The big trick in the harder levels is to take down the flag. That’s how the Europeans conquered the world and that’s how you get big points in this game.
The Most Pointless Game Ever
Sunday, December 21st, 2008And yet I finished it. What does that say about me?
This fun little gem of a game is a little spoof off of the XBOX achievements that get unlocked almost constantly while playing any game. A little message shows up saying the name of the achievement that you’ve just completed. Most of the time no one even knows what they did to unlock it, and eventually no one even pays attention.
Well, you’ve got to pay attention in this game. There is no other point then unlocking the 100 achievements. Thankfully there is a help page. You even unlock an achievement for clicking on the hint button.
So give Achievement Unlocked a chance. It killed 30 minutes for me.
Star Wars Unleashed review
Sunday, September 21st, 2008For at least a year now I have been looking forward to the release of the newest entry into the huge library of Star Wars related video games, Star Wars Unleashed. Now that it’s out… meh.
I was hoping for something unbelievable and outstanding. I got something pedestrian and clunky.
Granted, I have only played the PS2 version of the game and am still willing to give the other consoles’ versions a chance, but… meh.
The controls a pain, and most disappointingly, the use of the force powers is the most difficult to control. The game feels more like a fighting game with big levels than the first person shooter with force powers game that I was hoping for. And there’s no multiplayer either, even for the PS3 and 360 versions.
Hopefully, the destructible environment and improved AI that were featured so prominently in the previews will be used in the future to make better games than this.
Bring on the Chuck
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008In this new world where everything is Chuck Norris, you may now have the privilege of controlling Chuck Norris in a new cell phone video game.
Don’t let the idea go to your head. You will never control the real Chuck Norris. Even your control of the video game Chuck Norris is only illusionary.
I like it when Chuck picks up the truck and even better when he destroys the helicopter by saying, “Bang!”
Hedgehog launcher
Saturday, July 12th, 2008The strangest things seem to occupy my time on the internet. Some games I give a shot and let pass by, but sometimes there is a really strange one that I play and play and play. It’s not usually the greatest animation or graphics and definitely not the greatest music, but I play.
My most recent addiction for an afternoon was Hedgehog Launcher.
Purchase upgrades for your hedgehog launcher and then steer your hog through the floating coins and bars. Don’t worry, everything that you can hit is good. Your eventual goal is to launch the large smiling rodent into space. That said, I was kind of disappointed when I finally did. I was having too much fun collecting the coins.
