Here is a fun flash game that is hard to explain, but it’s kind of a puzzle on how to get the little red ball to get the treasure box at the end. Very entertaining.

This is why America scares me sometimes
In a recent poll it seems that 3 of 4 Bush supporters still thought that pre-War Iraq had WMD’s, despite all the well publicized evidence to the contrary. The article goes on to show a few more differences in opinion in the views of the supporters and the actual policies of Bush. Somehow, [...]
The Feasability of a Classic 2d Adventure
Grumpy Gamer waxes from experience (he’s one of the guy’s who did Monkey Island) on how economicaly feasable a classic style 2d adventure game would be today. To sum it up, if it did happen, and you tried to do it right, you are going to have a tough time of it. But [...]

I’d agree that with [...]
