Okay so the subject today, students, is cats. No not the musical. I do not understand why anyone would want to watch people prance around in cat costumes. Although maybe watching yummy women in cat costumes… er… never mind. According to Wikipedia, until recently cats were commonly believed to have been domesticated in ancient Egypt. But a study in 2007 showed that cat lines of descent probably run through as few as five self-domesticating African Wildcats. I mean, like wow. Cats making them selves choose fancy feast over Meow Mix? Buying themselves litter boxes and using them, and using words like “indeed” and “so forth”, and so forth. Amazing. What’s even more amazing is a cat’s ability to render a human harmless by simply sitting there looking cute. You know such famous tough guys as Wolverine, Jack Bauer, and John Wayne have been disarmed by little fuzzy bundles of claws playing with balls of yarn or tripping out on catnip! Okay so I made the catnip part up! Who’s to know for sure. I even have a theory of why there are so-called “Cat Ladies” in existence.

Kitten Sanctuary – Buckets of cuteness!
Monday, May 4th, 2009Toon Crisis – On the rails and off your rocker!
Friday, May 1st, 2009
Remember on-the-rails light gun shooters like Virtua Cop and The House of the Dead? Good ol’ rail shooters from times past where all you had to think of was point and shoot. Or like umm… let’s say Time Crisis, where you actually had a time limit. Yes those were fun days. I don’t know if they’re popular nowadays, as I haven’t been in an arcade in years, but it would seem that type of game would be well suited to a mouse. Let’s changes gears for a second now, have you ever wanted to blast some toons, no I didn’t say “blast some tunes”, I mean you could do that if you want, but that’s not what I mean. I mean blast some toons as in CARtoons. Well I don’t mean an emphasis on car, as this has nothing to do with cars. I mean animated cartoon characters. Have you wanted to shoot them? Sure we all have. Well what does today’s flash game have in common with shooting cartoon characters and Time Crisis? Well actually nothing other than the name. Oh yeah it’s a “rail” shooter as well except using the mouse.
Last Man Standing – Can you stand alone against Skyn… I mean Skullnet?
Thursday, April 23rd, 2009
Remember those wondrous days of yesteryear where nothing excited us more than a couple of colored blocks on screen, and a little bleep and bloop? There was a console, arguably the first successful one for the home called the Atari VCS more commonly known as the Atari 2600? You do? Well do you remember one of the big launch titles for the 2600? Yep Combat, and a variation within combat? Common now, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten good ol’ Tank? Okay admittedly I thought I remembered the game being only Tank, which is based on the arcade version of Tank by Kee and Atari games. However Tank and it’s variations were added into the Combat cartridge with various other battle type games. Anyways, it was always fun playing Tank and it’s various variations, and nailing the other guy. Especially Tank Pong, where you could bounce shots off the walls. Nothing like reliving the good ol’ days. Well what this has to do with our next game is that it, also is a tank game. It’s called Last Man Standing, by IronCode Software. Let’s figure out if it’s something worth buying or not.
