I'm addicted. It's a strategy Browser Game (Like Neopets (The game isn't like Neopets, but Neopets is an example of a Browser Game), you don't need to download anything) where you command a Village and have to make sure your village is okay. Me and a group of my friends are starting an Alliance (a group of Villages that protect eachother). I have two characters; 01 and 08. 01 works on a trading system (so we aren't in so much debt all the time), and 08 works on the Alliance (so we can trade)

Fun. Addictive. Long-term. Blah.

AudioSurf

AudioSurf is a game that lets you "Ride your music."

It reads the music, and then it creates a "road" for your character to ride on. There are different characters, at different levels. Examples are Mono, which has only one color but you have to avoid the grays, Pointman, which has three colors and you can move a color (if you catch it while riding) into the slot of your choosing, and more that are expanded on three difficulty levels.

The objective is to get at least three Cars (as they are called) of the same color touching eachother (so you could have three cars at the bottom of the same color, they would disappear and add to your points, or you could have three cars at the bottom of different colors, and you would have to get at least 2 more of the same colors for each one to make them disappear.)

Except, in these videos, apparently using Ninja Mono (The Elite Mono) is the hardest challenge, as it is on nearly all the videos.

Cool, huh?

A Few Good G-Men

In the Half-Life series, there is a recurring character nicknamed by fans (and accepted by the game's developers) the G-Man (short for Government Man). He is always out of reach and it is impossible to harm him. He pulls the strings throughout the games, to make sure the player survives the hazards they encounter.

This is a Machinima (a Movie made in a Video Game) using lines from A Few Good Men and choreographed, filmed and edited by R. Glass.

Portal

This is Gameplay footage for the game, Portal. In this game, you have the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device, a tool that fires portals or wormholes. With only one portal out, it's a black hole, but it is blocked by a wall inside the portal. With two, it's a wormhole. This game encourages the use of the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device to solve the puzzles.

Civil Protection: On a Rail

This is a video I thought was pretty funny. But maybe that's just because I like Half-Life 2.

The Civil Protection are like Thought Police in the game. They oppress the citizens, beat them, and keep order. Except in this series, they are portrayed as goofing off and wreaking havoc.



The world of Half-Life 2 is set in a dystopia around 2013. The Combine, a massive, undefeated Alien conglamorate, have invaded Earth and enslaved the humans.

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

I have to write this fast before Gregory sees that I have a blog and laughs and calls me a noob.
