Aside from being a little under the weather this weekend, due to my internet provider being so fantastically naff I actually had to type this post up twice. Pfeh. But you don’t want to know about any of that – let’s get on with the lushness of today’s four Assemblees, three of [...]

TAR pt. 4: Insert another quarter

Filed Under Competitions, Flash, Free, Funny, Indie, PC, Retro | Leave a Comment

Right, I’m going to have to pick up the pace a little since we’re running behind schedule. Badly, in fact. Today makes it 19 games down, so only another 54 to go – over seven days, that means eight a day. Haha! It’s all going pear-shaped, I tell ya! But enough of that. [...]

TAR pt. 2: Axiseses!

Filed Under Competitions, Free, Funny, Indie, Mac, PC, Retro | 1 Comment

Oh boy! As we keep cracking along down the alphabet we find some real humdingers filed under “B”.
One thing I forgot to mention in the first TAR post is that the download links will point you to the final competition version of the games – bear in mind there may also be further updated downloads! [...]

Assemblee Review, part the first

Filed Under Atari, Competitions, Free, Funny, Indie, Mac, PC, Retro | 1 Comment

With the TIGSource Assemblee entrants out in the open, I thought I’d blurt out a few words – or in some cases perhaps more than just a few – on each of the contenders, no matter how NSFW they may be. This could be an epic undertaking. 73 mini-reviews in under two weeks? Oh, crud. [...]

Goodbye, holidays

Filed Under Funny, Zolyx | Leave a Comment

Yeah. I thought it was about time I got rid of the holiday theme and eye-wateringly awful link colours. I’m not quite sure why I thought red was a good idea… serves me right for recycling last year’s colours I suppose.
Despite this, I believe I still have some way to go in [...]

Best. Tetris. Ever!

Filed Under Flash, Free, Funny | Leave a Comment

It’s so ridiculous that I actually laughed out loud upon discovering it.
Meet Tetoris [link], the smallest yet at the same time biggest variation of Tetris I’ve ever seen. Good luck on actually building a complete tetris line…
Thanks to Offworld for the heads-up.

Thinking with portals

Filed Under Funny, Random | Leave a Comment

This is seriously dedicated stuff. I don’t know exactly who made this, but someone has created a brilliant copy of Aperture Science’s portal gun:

I love it! It’s even got authentic-looking wear and tear. Very professional indeed, and best of all it’s completely safe. Oh, and your cake is just through that doorway over there…
There’s some [...]

C’mon ref! Are you blind?

Filed Under Funny, Random | Leave a Comment

Not blind, just drunk.
Perhaps it was Sergei Shmolik’s first big match and he’d had a few to calm the nerves beforehand…

Oh dear. Someone give the poor fellow another drink!
