Distraction ~ A simple game with difficult surroundings
Eat the fruit, avoid the missiles… oh, and watch out for the critters that are not part of the game.
Funny, funny games from Adult Swim
All games are browser based, no download necessary.
My personal recommendations are Bible Battle, wherein you get to choose to play one of a number of Biblical characters in a fight to the death against a computer opponent (I recommend Noah, I almost beat the snot out of Eve playing him…up until Adam showed up) and Five Minutes to Kill (Yourself), wherein you, a lowly cubicle worker, decide you’d rather commit suicide than attend another of your company’s meetings and have five minutes until the next meeting starts.
Playing at Wordplay ~ Excellent Cryptogram Flash Game
Found at Teppo.TV, this Cryptogram game may well become a new fixation for me for a while. It works extremely well, and may even be appealing to those who get frustrated with Cryptograms done via paper and pencil.
For those who don’t know, a cryptogram is a code breaking puzzle (’crypto’ as in ‘cryptology’) in which all the letters of an otherwise easily read message are replaced, usually with different letters or numbers. To solve a cryptogram, begin by looking for frequent letter patterns, like ‘th’, the word ‘a’, double letters (such as ‘oo’ or ‘ll’).
Playing at Wordplay ~ what’s your high score?
Your Words are words that the game does not have listed amongst the 677 answers it is looking for. Right Words are the words that you found that are pre-listed. All words that the game counts are between 3 and 10 letters in length. How many Right Words can you come up with?
Just so you don’t try the obvious, it does not recognize ’sectarianism’.
Go figure.
Winter house cleaning ~ re-posting of the Worms video game
I posted this game back in August of last year. Since that time that post became an increasingly used portal for spam-bots. It wasn’t the most popular post that I have ever put up, but I do know that we have had some visitors who have downloaded the game and try my best to make sure that once you find material here it continues to be available should you ever come back looking for it.
So, in an attempt to foil spam-bots I’ve deleted the original post and am re-issuing it here. Click on the picture to download a zip file containing the game.
This game is presented here as abandonware (meaning that the developer of this game no longer provides support nor attempts to market or sell the game). It does require installation on your computer in order to play.
For anyone who has not seen this game before (it’s possible!), the premise is simple and succinct. You are in charge of a team of crack commando worms (yes, the little pink wriggly things) and are trying to defeat one or more opposing teams of worm warriors. Since worms are not naturally aggressive, you are aided in your efforts by getting to choose from an arsenal of weaponry such as bazookas, grenades, machine and hand guns, baseball bats, banana bombs, and exploding sheep.
Makes sense, right?
Update: In a continued effort to foil spambots I have removed the ability to post comments to this page. If you have a comment you would like put on this page, click on contact us and email your comment to us.
Every year this game gets passed around again ~ Penguin Batting Cages
You play a Sasquatch, using a big club to try to knock a penguin as far as you can.
