...Well. It's not entirely warm out, yet, but school is officially Out.
This seems like the perfect time to drop some sweet links (while we wait for the sidewalks to warm up to Frying level).
To get us started, here's a video (commercial for Zune, apparently, but that's not important) that combines two of my favorite things: Puppets and Zombies. Rock.
Keeping the video ball rolling, so to speak, here is a fan remake of the lightcycle (that's what those were called, right?) scene from Tron. Oh papercraft; oh Internet. I love you both.
From The Ten Most Insane, Child-Warping Moments of 80's Cartoons:
Naked Thundercats. Is it just me, or is that Thundercats intro pretty frickin' awesome?
Check that animation!
And hey, while you're wasting the nice weather inside, why not play some God-Damned videogames?
Dino Run is all about running away from the dinosaur version of the apocalypse. Run, dino, run!
Also there is some nifty upgrading involved (the eggs and critters are collectibles).
Mubbly Tower is worth the annoying site it's on (well, I guess YoYo Games has SOME nifty properties, such as built-in Accomplishments in Flash games(!), but you still have to sign up and log in). It is a combination of tower defense (which I don't really like) and... Triptych, I guess (which I really, really do). The smiles of those oddly-shaped blocks are so endearing.
Also check out Karoshi 2.0, a puzzle game about killing oneself (you must figure out how!). An art game if I ever saw one. Have I seen one? I believe I have.
Knuckleheads is a clever little platformer wherein you control a pair of chained-together Mexican wrestler heads. It also features the "use the appropriate form (in this case, the correctly-colored head) to destroy the enemies" mechanic. I dig the surrealism.
Want to do something to benefit mankind, but not move too far from your comfy computer chair?
Why not play games... FOR SCIENCE?!
FoldIt is an online, ranked puzzle game that has you trying to find the best method of folding proteins. Doesn't pique your interest? Maybe the sleek-as-hell aesthetic will:
Is this what all Science is like? Probably.
Monster's Den is basically a Flash version of FastCrawl (also, unlike FastCrawl, it is free).
Are you down with simplified dungeon exploring, battle strategy, and loot-gettin'? I would bet that you are down.
Brute Wars has a similar battle mechanic, but is more about finding the perfect combination of creatures... sort of Pokemon-style. Level cap is at 50, which I found... well, low.
Naruto Arena lets you battle Internet Strangers (also a similar mechanic... I guess I'm into the party-based, simplified strategy right now) for the title of Biggest Anime Geek. Kinda fun.
Hm. Speaking of simplified, party-based strategy, Penny Arcade recently released their first-ever videogame, entitled On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness. I tried the demo out, and I don't know whether it was the incredible adventure-style flavor text and NPC conversations or the customizable avatar or the Lovecraft-meets-steampunk setting or what, but last night those Silly Bitches got my money. Now there are mimes everywhere, I'm out twenty bucks, and I'm tickled silly. My rake is golden.
