Someone Keeps Stealing My Letters


I'm a big fan of webtoys that offer alot of freedom. I'm even a bigger fan of multiplayer ones. In comes Someone Keeps Stealing My Letters. At first Appearence, it's just a white background with fridge-magnet like letters that you can move. The catch: Other people are in the same room with you moving the same letters. They can mess you up, you can mess them up. Do whatever you want. Have fun!

Play- Server1 Server2 Server3
Set up times with people in different classes to meet in the same room and "chat".

EDIT: It seems that they have a similar game on the site, but with drawing instead of letters. Check it out too.

In the meantime, enjoy the sucess of my latest test, Mk5. Piliot a little helicopter robot around with the arrow keys while trying to collect capsules and aviod lasers.

Pacman: The Movie








You've never herd the ghosts' side of the story, have you?

Missile Game 3D



I know that most of you like speed. Games where you for some reason are barrelling uncontrollably tword some goal with indestructible obstacles in your way. Now let's take that idea to a whole nother dimension.


Missile Game 3D


Put simply: You're a missile in a 3D tunnel, And must use the mouse to fly through barriers and not get hit. That's it- No flashing colors, no amazingly rendered charades. You don't even see yourself: Just what's in front of you. And sometimes for a great game that's all you need.

Tipping Point



Now in my mind there are two types of games. The first you know well: Short and sweet. Ex. Cubefield. Easy to learn, not very much thought to play, and sessions rarly last over 5 minutes. But not many people are aware of some of the best games out there: Games that involve thought and time. Maybe not as great to play while ignoring that lecture, but when you have time to kill after doing your homework. As my example of our first 'Take your Time" game, I'm reviewing my absolute favorite online game: Tipping Point.



Tipping point is a "Point and Click" game. It uses only the mouse to solve puzzles. Usually point and click games have an inventory where you gather items to help you progress. Often, these games are "escape the room" style, where your ultimate goal is to... well, escae a room. This game is the opposite though. It's split into three chapters, with more to come. Point and click games arn't known for their stroyline, yet this has an amazing one. And it all starts with you lazily watching TV.

Tipping Point can be frusterating. So, here you go: a walkthrough. Just in case you get stuck. (By the way, the walkthrough for Ch. 3 was written by me :P) If you get stuck, I would rather have you look at the walkthrough than just quit. (If you get REALLY stuck and need one-on-one help, ask in the comments. I'd be glad to help) The breathtaking visuals and sounds that begin in the 2nd and 3rd chapters are well worth the work. It's a new game experience that many haven't had before, but it'll hook you just like it did to me and my friends. It's difficult to explian in writing, so just go check it out now. You'll be glad you did.

Powder Game

When you're bored in class, you probably do one of a few things. 1. Play a game, 2. Draw on the tablet, or 3. [Fill in whatever else you do here]. Now, what would you do if I told you that you could do 1 and 2 at the same time? AND if you could make things explode?


I don't consider this a game by any means. The only goal is to do whatever you want. Absolute freedom. (Well, except it can't get you out of class) The controls are simple: Use the mouse, or styli us if you're using the touch-screen, to select an element. then click on the "play area" to drop that element. You can adjust the size of how much you drop at a time. Now HERE'S the fun part: Watch how the elements react with each other. Put a seed in some water and watch it grow into a tree. Drop a few superballs on the ground and watch them bounce back. And don't get me started on how many things there are to set up in flames.


Now, Powder Game is a game of exploration, so I won't ruin all the fun. Just get out there and start mixing things up. The best part is, it never gets old or boring. You'll always have a new idea to try out. A recent update added a whole nother dimension to the gameplay. Drop a "Player" onto the field and control him with the arrow keys. The possibilities are literally endless.

EDIT: Against my prediction, the site is blocked. Here's a copy version, although not as nice, that you can play with untill I find the real thing on an alternate server.

Blue Ball Machine


I don't know how many of you have seen the original "Blue Ball Machine" YTMND, so here you go: http://blueballfixed.ytmnd.com/

Pretty complex, huh? Now imagine trying to understand all that if you were blind. And if you had this guy explaining it to you.

(I do recommend listening to the whole thing. It gets hilarious toward the end.)

Elephants


Just in case anyone is taking physics, I thought I would give you some pointers.

(That was an actual answer on a test.)






EDIT: And for those of you like me who are taking Algebra, see if this can score you extra points on a test:

Some Radom Game Links


Well, almost everyone now knows cubefield (even though I found it 2 years ago), but there are some others out there too. These are just a few games are easy to learn, hard to master, and are pretty short per-play, but make you come back for more.

Cubefield- http://cube.floccul.us/
Yes, the one and only origional cubefield.

Vector Runner- http://www.eskimo.com/games/vectorrunner/
Along the same lines of cubefield, avoid the stuff coming at you while in a simple triangle shape car/ship thing. I actually like this one better than cubefield. Powerups, shields, and it goes ALOT faster.

Gravity Hook- http://adamatomic.com/gravity/
MY favorite of them all. A mouse game, not the arrow keys. Grab on for your life; don't fall but don't hang too long! The goal- Get as high as you can without blowing up.


BTW, send me in your highest scores with proof, and I might just post them here. Have fun!
