A little break?

I’m sorry for the recent lack of updates. For some reason, I don’t feel very motivated to maintain this blog anymore. It was a lot of fun the very first weeks, but it got more boring day by day as I couldn’t find anything worth posting. When I wrote the last few posts it just felt like I would pick a random game or something, just so that I’d have something to post. My original thought behind this blog was to post longer and more genuine posts, which would explain the sites and games more deeper, and I would also sort out the games that was actually good, rather than posting any game I could find.

I won’t delete this blog though, it might be fun to read through sometime and remember what I used to like. I might even write a post here every now and then when I find something extremely good, but you shouldn’t expect anything. So until we meet again, have a nice day browsing the internet.

Curveball

Curveball is a very entertaining “pong-clone” type of game. The principle is the same; try to bounce the ball into the goal behind your enemy, while at the same time defending your own goal. The most obvious difference from the original pong is that now you have another dimension to move in, you can move up, down, left or right. The enemy is also now in front of you, instead of to the side. The trick is to try to curve the ball so that your enemy wont be able to catch it, hence the name “Curveball”. You will receive bonus points if you manage to curve the ball a lot, or hitting the very center of your paddle. The paddle is now also controlled by your mouse, instead of the usual keyboard arrows.

Falling Forever

I just remembered an old flash which was really popular some time ago. I don’t really think it has a name, except for “Falling Boneless Girl” perhaps. I think that one of the reasons behind the flash being so popular is that it’s so simple. There is no goal really. All you have is this halfnaked girl who keeps on falling downwards, hitting large bubbles on her way. The bubbles are automatically generated, so there really is no bottom for the girl to reach. You can use your mouse to drag the girl in various limbs in case you want to throw her high up in the air, or just smash her really hard into bubble. It involves some neat physics which mysteriously forces you to keep on playing with the girl, throwing her different ways, pushing her between two bubbles, or just try to keep her falling for as long as possible without stopping.

Magnetism

Magnetism is a game with a simple concept; get the ball into the cup. The hard part is to actually make the ball go into the cup, because it’s not as easy as it sounds. First, you’ll have to choose between two game modes. In Game A, you are to drop the ball with your mouse the right way, so that it’ll bounce into the cup. Here you need to think a bit more and try to figure out the best way to drop the ball. In Game B, you use the arrow keys to steer the ball into the cup, which requires more skill. My only wish is that the music should be able to be turned off, it gets quite annoying after a while.

A “favelet” is a small jscript applications which are very easy to use. All you need to do is drag the selected favelet to your favorites toolbar and drop it there, which will create a kind of “bookmark” containing this javascript. These favelets can be used for validating HTML, CSS, translating pages with babelfish, view certain scripts etc. Favelets have become more and more popular lately since you can use them for so many different purposes, and there are a lot more than these ones out there.

Computer Stupidities

“The following is a large collection of stories and anecdotes about clueless computer users. It’s a baffling phenomenon that in today’s society an individual, who might in other circumstances be considered smart and wise, can sit down in front of a computer screen and instantly lose every last shred of common sense he ever possessed. Complicate this phenomenon with a case of “computerphobia,” and you end up with tech support personnel having phone conversations that are funny in retrospect but seem like perfectly valid motives for wild machine gun shooting sprees at the time.”

At Computer Stupidities there have been gathered an enormous amount of conversations between, usually between a dumb computer user and the technical support. You can read conversations about Viruses, Programming, Paranoia, The Internet, Faxes, Disk Drives and much, much more, sometimes there’s even a role reversal when the technical support is stupid and the computer user is right!
