Todays Strange Games

Todays game of the day is actually 9 small games all centered around cats. The page is all in Japanese as are the game instructions, but all of them can be figured out without too much problem. There are also some other links on the bottom of the page with some other strange games. I have not figured out all of them yet, but most are pretty good.
If you enjoy this Game of the Day "feature", leave me a comment and let me know. Also let me know what kind of games you enjoy and I'll do my best to post some.

Questions from The Friday Five

And now for something very important

Oh sorry... I guess it is just the game of the day. Well, I guess it would be important for the regular visitors to this site... all 2 of you :) What do they say.. It's not the quantity but the quality.
Todays game is Putt Putt golf. I know there are a ton of these on the web, but I doubt you have seen one like this. When you visit the site, it will ask a question about "Hyperload". If you do not want to keep the game on your computer, just answer no. If you change your mind, reload the page and answer yes.

And in the quiz from yesterday, I was "Bubs". I don't know what is going on with the picture that is supposed to be showing. Sometimes it is there, and sometimes not. All the coding is correct, so I'm guessing it has something to do with Geocities, were the quiz is located

HomeStar Runner Quiz

Time for a real entry. Well, I guess not really real, but you know what I mean. Something that has nothing to do with games... So instead I bring you the other big thing on the internet... Quizes :) Just about everyone I know detests them, but after looking at their blog, you can find quiz results. I don't do them very often, but I had to do this one.
Hope you like this one Tink





Which Homestar Runner character are you?

Guess What..... It's the Game of the Day

Who says Microsoft does not have a sense of humor. I found this cute little game by them that makes fun of the damn paper clip that comes with Office. I hate that thing. Have fun shooting rubberbands and firing staples at it.
Kill the PaperClip

Game of the Day

Todays game is a remake of the classic Pong. I actually remember playing it at a pizza place I used to go to as a kid. Loved the game and wasted lots of hard earned paper delivery money there.

Goodbye Bug

Kind of a sad day..... It would be nice to get a hold of a new old one... Damn environmental regulations.
The Last Bug

Game of the Day

This is one that I actually had to look for, not something I just stumbled across. Back in the early 90's, when my computer system was a screaming 486 running Windows 3.0, I had a paper airplane making program. It was really cool let you test and print out designs. Wasted alot of time with the kids doing that.
This is not quite as fun, but it beats trying to get your folds just right.

Family of Geeks

This truely is a family of geeks and I love it. Currently I am sitting in the office with the laptop on my lap of all places :) My beautiful Tink is sitting next to me on the desktop system playing Black & White. She has been sitting there since around 3pm and it is now almost 11pm. That is 8 hours on one game. Damn... I can't even bring myself to do much for 8 hours straight :) Oh well, that is what I love about her. She loves playing games and messing around with the puter almost as much as I do. That does lead to some problems though, like when is it going to be my turn to play?? Guess I'm gonna have to drag her off to the bedroom and show her some different games ;)

Operation Slaps

A fun game from the grade school playground makes a return on the internet.
