Here's a place to share some fun links, browser games, and chitchat about whatever...
LINKS:
- Play the randomly-generated Tintin quiz !
- Behold the amazing Floor796 animated character project. (see how many famous BD characters you can spot)
- Browse the utterly fascinating Marginalian blog, in which the author regularly takes deep dives in to the arts, literature, philosophy and so forth, tying everything together in delightful, thought-provoking, and uplifting ways.
- Play the quiz "Who are these ten classic characters just about to appear?" [ Answers ]
- Enter a trance-state via the ever-scrolling ZOOMQUILT and ZOOMQUILT2.
- It's free ANIMATED MOVIE NIGHT. (four films and five shorts) [NOTE: Some of the links there are to the matching lemm.ee posts, but I can't edit them from my new acct. A simple search will quickly turn them up, though.]
- Play thousands of your favorite old flash (and other browser games) via the amazing Flashpoint Project.
GAMES: (I'll be adding pictures and a table in future)
- ARMOR ALLEY, arguably the greatest side-scrolling helicopter game of all time.
- SOLITAIRE BATTLESHIPS, and ~40 other excellent puzzle games.
- KONKR, a simple but challenging series of tactical boardgame battles, something like RISK, but powered up with special forces.
- POLYTRACK, a fun, tough set of low-poly tracks to race through, directly inspired by TrackMania.
- PRINCE OF PERSIA, a browser version of this legendary classic. (Note that this version allows you to tweak time, health and level number right in the URL!)
- Return of the SLIMEPIRES, a super-fun, totally original, zombie-themed platformer. [Note: there's a higher-res version here]
- ROGUE FABLE III, an excellent roguelike that only takes an hour or so to beat, featuring loads of interesting character classes. [WIKI]
- SABOTAGE, an hilarious but tough, top-down action game, loosely based on the early-80's classic Castle Wolfenstein, but with much smoother gameplay.
- SPELUNKY, hands-down the greatest roguelike platformer ever. Simple to get in to, but be warned that the learning curve is immense. Fortunately, there's a super-helpful WIKI.
- TOWER-SWAP, a tremendously fun, original, addictive mashup of the match-3 and tower defense genres, both of which I'm ordinarily kind of fatigued by.
Well, there's a reasonable start. Much more to add in coming weeks and months, and of course feel free to nominate your favorites. Or just to chat about whatever...
Credit to @wolfinthewoods@lemmy.ml for nudging me in this direction, some weeks back.
Of course, with the number of game recommendations I still have to add, I might have to compact that section in to little more than small image links to the games. Otherwise, the OP might get to be pretty massive.
Ah, decisions, decisions...
Haha, for sure! Sorry I haven't got a chance to post anything new in the new space. I've been busy with life issues (sadly, having to kick drinking again and tappering off for several days so I could start the detox was pita). I'm getting back to normal though and should be able to feel well enough to post soon. Been reading Once Upon a Time in Paris which has been fantastic. Hope you're doing well lately. I'll be around ;)
Okay, thanks for the update(!)
Sounds like an interesting novel, and possibly suitable for BD.
Interesting how we both seem to have a drinking problem. For me, it's one of the few ways I can get some relief from my CFS/ME disease, and I'm thankful for that, but of course it has its darker side, too... :S
