entombed in the shrine of zeroes and ones

pobig introduced me to Grow, a deceptively simple little game. I finally figured out the 'solution' that leads you to maximize every item's level, but getting things 'wrong' can lead to different, cool effects. And, just to prove i'm not lyin':

WARNING: Addictive like crack, although probably not as bad as that damned penguin-smacking game

I bring you trade sanctions— no! I bring you Pixies tour dates!

Also, to dumplechan: i noticed today that a coworker had his phone's ring set to the Legend of Zelda theme, so i told him about Tendrils, and he loves it.

I must extol the virtues of dumplechan's game Tendrils. It's an old-school RPG with very familiar music and graphics. It's an alpha, but it's definitely quite playable.

I am a Gauntlet Adventurer. I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You?

Second choice given: a Defender ship!

The disgruntled rbarclay brings us the gift of penguin-smacking.  My best bounce shot is 320.5 321.1 322.9.  My best nose-dive shot is 207.4 (try to make the penguin vanish with a high arcing shot!).  My shortest shot is 69.1 57.5.

Only 30 days until pitchers and catchers report!

EDIT: The Boy has already surpassed my long shot with 322.9 twice and 323.5 once.  Renée just beat my nose-dive shot with a 207.6.

So, Joe Lieberman hates violent video games but is pro-Israel? An enterprising video game house should create "Settlers of the West Bank" and put him in a terrible moral dilemma.

I returned to Starship Titanic today after many years, intent on finishing it this time. I noticed how similar the prow of the Titanic resembles the prow of the LXG movie's Nautilus... coincidence or CONSPIRACY?

Here's a short adventure game. The animation has a Gilliamesque feel. It's a bit of a pixel hunt, but it's fun.

Just finished Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising. Fun RTS, good story by Warren Ellis. Good bargain bin game.

Neverwinter Nights has arrived just in time to rescue me from post-World Cup depression. Plus, i should be able to throw myself into building my D&D3E campaign, which my players have been clamoring for since, well, the World Cup started.
