Flash Games I've Kinda Liked 2

The most recent waste of my time:

Nob War: The Elves

Cute little side-scrolling fantasy battle game.

The Sahal-Shaped Hole

Peter: Today was busy.

Adrienne: Did you miss him? (my boss who is away for a month getting married)

Was there a hole in your heart? A Sahal-shaped hole?

A tall, Somali-shaped hole in your heart?

The House Beyond Your Sky

By Benjamin Rosenbaum

One of my favorite short stories.

Plunder Funnel!

The sketch is ok. But just the name "Plunder Funnel" for an advertised scam tickles me inside. It seems so apropos and there's some semi-rhyme going on there that gets me.

Sleepwalk(in')

I never realized it until recently but the song Sleepwalkin' by Modest Mouse appears to actually be based on Sleepwalk by Santo & Jonny:

Sleepwalkin'

Sleepwalk

Penny Arcade OD&D idea

Noting this post for future reference.

Gabe used old-school D&D rules to run a "historical period" side-adventure to his current 4th Ed. D&D game. Basically used an old-school D&D clone to do so (to give a "things worked differently back then" feel).

Interestingly he used the Swords & Wizardry game whose Peter Mullen's artwork I love.

Can't Tell Me Nothing - Kayne West ( w/ Zach Galfianakis & Will Oldham)

With Zach Galifianakis & Will Oldham.

Funny story.

Flash Games I've Kinda Liked

Civilization Wars - Real-time strategy game. Lead your civilization to recover ancient magitech and beat their rivals to world conquest.

Dino Run - Have your dino outrun the blast an apocalyptic asteroid barrage to safety. By Pixel Jam, the same folks who brought you the awesome:

Gamma Bros - Help the gamma bros commute home to their wives through an alien-swarming asteroid field.

StarBaron - Real-time strategy game. Develop your fleet and conquer sector after sector of space.

Icebreaker - Puzzle solver about how to free trapped Vikings frozen in icebergs.

Portal: The Flash Version - Puzzle solver. About as close as I'm likely to get to actually eating cake.

Shift (and it's sequels) - Puzzle solver with a vaguely similar premise to Portal.

Worm Land - Imagine Dune, but from the Makers' perspective.

Soap Bubble I and II - Soap bubble trying to escape dubious underground realms.

A Crow In Hell (also 2 and 3) - A crow trying to escape dubious underground realms (ie. Hell).

Cosmic Crush - Essentially Katamari Damashi starting at the planetary scale.

Boomshine

Hobbit Rampage - Pretty much what it sounds like.

IndestructoTank! (and it's sequels)

Infectonator! - Unleash a zombie plague upon the world.

Probably more to come later.
