Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Posted 3/17/2010 10:35 am by Crazy Vincent

D'oh, almost forgot to switch the styles on the site, better late than never I guess! Happy St. Patrick's Day, have a pint of Guinness for me!

Sorry, I forgot to post a downloadable game last week, I guess the short month threw me for a loop. Well, I'm posting one this week to make up for it. Have you had a chance to play Left 4 Dead or its sequel yet? How about Left 4k Dead, the bite-sized homage? (Get it? Bite-sized? It's a zombie joke.) Well, here is another game inspired by the zombie-killing blockbuster. Pixel Force: Left 4 Dead mixes the zombie slaughtering action with an 8-bit visual style ripped straight from the NES era. You know, because you can never kill too many zombies! (The download links on the game's page make you jump through hoops and wait in queues to get the game, this page has a direct link to the latest version.)

Saratoga applies for Google Fiber

You may have heard that Google is planning on rolling out super high-speed internet to one or more medium-sized communities around the country as part of an experiment in building open fiber networks. Well, I just read today that Saratoga officials are submitting their nomination to be included in this project. If it means cheaper or faster internet service, I'm all for it; here's hoping that Saratoga is selected!

Friday Fun - Tuper Tario Tros.

Posted 3/05/2010 9:00 am by Crazy Vincent

Tuper Tario Tros. is a unique game. At first, it looks like a standard port of Super Mario Bros., but there is a twist. I don't really want to ruin it for you, but it adds a new challenge to an old game. Although for me, it makes the game too challenging, and even after a dozen or so attempts, I'm still unable to beat the "boss" at the end of the first level. If you make it past, let me know what happens!

Friday Fun - Alphabet Shoot

Posted 2/26/2010 9:00 am by Crazy Vincent

Here's a fun game I found this week called Alphabet Shoot. Not much to say about it really; you control cannons that shoot letters which can only destroy blocks of the same letter. There are some neat physics puzzles in there, plus they limit your shots, so some of the levels are quite difficult. Good luck.
