My Stumbled Games

Posted Jul 19, 2008. Filed under Internet Finds. 4 comments.

Since I don’t really find a lot of interesting things on the internet anymore through clicks of a zillion links, I use StumbleUpon to find interesting webpages based on my interests. It turns out that my most interesting and re-visited “stumbled” pages are games. I haven’t played games on the internet since middle school, after all the tedious typing lessons were completed. Anyways, here’s a list of my games (so far), and reviews on said games:

Winterbells
- This is the first game that I’ve stumbled upon, and it’s really cute. Great graphics, really simple, and easy to get a high score. I’d say that there’s basically nothing else besides that, and once you fall and miss a bell you’re pretty much screwed.
Rating: 4/5

Puzzlefarter
- Surprisingly this game doesn’t involve too many puzzles. All you do is move around a little fish that can fly around by farting. The farting noise can get annoying, and I’ve only gotten through 20 out of the 50 levels. It can be tricky mastering the art of “farting flying”, but it’s strangely addicting. Be sure to watch out for all the obstacles though.
Rating: 3.5/5

Mad Virus
- At first I went “WTF?” at this game because I couldn’t get it. I eventually got it through random clicking, and I’d say it’s a simpler version of a strategy game. You have to be decisive and think quickly to decide which color tile to “infect” next.
Rating: 4/5

Pacxon
- This is the game that I’m currently addicted to. I always hated the original PacMan because ghosts would corner me everywhere in the mazes, but in this game you have more space to move around in. That, and you don’t have to “munch” out on the entire board…just cover most of it. This pwns the original PacMan game anyday.
Rating: 4.5/5

Of course I use Stumble for things other than games, but right now the games are winning my interests over the internet.

Questions:
1. Do you use Stumbleupon? (if so, add me!)
2. What are some pretty interesting things on the internet that you have “stumbled” upon? (Doesn’t matter whether you used the website or not when you found this interesting thing)


Movie Summaries in Ten Words

Posted Jul 15, 2008. Filed under Site Updates, Random Things. 6 comments.

Over the past few days I’ve seen three new movies. Since I”m lazy to talk about them fully, I’ll give a 10 word summary just like what Amanda does on her blogs. May contain some spoilers.

Wall-E: Very cute movie. Fatties in hover chairs = future of America.
Hancock: Shows that even the heaviest of hearts can soften up.
Cinderella (korean horror film): Made me go WTF. Horror story meets plastic surgery. Ouch. (Yes I made WTF count as one word. Click to see the movie.)

===

On another note, I haven’t done much on the designing end. I think I may have overloaded myself since I just offered to make a layout for my friend, not to mention still finish a summer graphics contest and as well as my other summer resolutions. To me, work > boredom. So I think I can handle a little challenge.

By the way, here are the avatars for Dani and Shen Shen, who were pretty much the only people that gave me ideas for both cactus girl (see last entry) and my upcoming texting fanlisting. The cactus girl shall now be called Nelli. Please save these things to your own server. =]

I also put up the base as an avatar for anyone to use on forums and whatnot. Enjoy.


Introducing…

Merinn’s first creation with the pen tool, Cactus Girl!

I do admit that I was inspired by the cactus girl on Toki Doki. Is this considered art theft, or not? I don’t want to be randomly screwing around with the law and whatnot.

If Kamikraze’s cactus girl doesn’t violate copyright laws, she will be back on another one of my designs. =]

PS: Whoever gives me a good name for her will get a personalized and free 100×100 avatar with her in it. Yes, you can give me more than one name idea. No rules besides that.

PPS: I’m also giving away a cactus girl avatar to someone (different person, so that there’s more than one winner) who can come up with the best site name for my upcoming texting fanlisting. Same stuff applies from above.
