It sports, among other things: 13 tracks, including Mountains of Madness, Arkham Asylum, R'lyeh, and Grandpa Kevin's MiniGolf n' Grand Prix Someone tell me why. Because it should. And somebody should start on it this instant. Found at Calls For Cthulhu by way of ScottC. Categorized as: Games

11.05.07 by Widge @ 3:43 am  Doktor A, who we've mentioned before, has outdone himself this time: he's created an 8-inch replica of Pac-Gentleman, an arcade game from 1880. Of course, the interesting part of the Pac-Man saga is that Lady Pac-Man was introduced in 1901, followed by Mrs. Pac-Man in 1911. It was not, however, until 1982 that Ms. Pac-Man was released. This is because it was still, for Pac-Women, considered unseemly for them to be running around mazes chasing and being chased by ghost-monsters...if they were unmarried. You've come a long way, baby.

10.30.07 by Widge @ 12:48 am Once upon a time, sick, sadistic bastards figured out how to imprison their Sims and eventually have them expire. This made us think of two things. The first was obviously "What kind of twisted freak would do that?" The second was, following hard upon, "Who has the time to figure out how to do that crap?" Now, with newer, more intricate games, like Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, these same tormentors have figured out they can unleash their wrath on many, many fake people at once. Morbid whimsy, with the whimsy provided by They Might Be Giants. It's okay to laugh, they'll just add it to your tab in hell. Categorized as: Games

10.24.07 by Widge @ 11:15 pm  Well, Doc warned me when he sent me this earlier that this was a timesuck. And he was right. How can I resist a variation of that smack-the-penguin game where I'm using a chainsaw to send the severed head of a flesh-eating zombie careening down a post-apocalyptic street? Answer: I cannot. Doc knows my weakness for all things zombie. Which is why Doc is a bastard. But a highly effective one. Categorized as: Games

And the way you have to download an update for a few minutes each time you login. I don't know about you, but my days always start like that in real life. Anyway, about the only improvement upon your first life is flying. So. Categorized as: Games
