@Paul_Is_Drunk: Also on second try: lvl 50 and 220640 points. Incredibly easy game, just fart as loud as you can just before you get noticed, no trick to it at all. Not really a weekend timewaster because of that :) #hotflashes

I would fart anywhere at anytime. Holding in farts is painful.
Plus, it's hilarious to look at other people's faces when they smell a "Silent But Deadly" especially when you look like you didn't actually pull that one off.
Also, as for a protip, slide it to the right until you see a question mark, release, and then put it back when it's all clear. I made it to floor 50 that way with 126,000 points maybe.
Something really noteworthy: When I went to play the game, I was first greeted with a flash ad for Evony that contained no breasts! Not even any women!
All that said, the best recruiting tool is probably the new $20,000 sign on bonus they give out now. Or is it $30,000? Even the National Guard gives it out. Pretty sweet if that's what you wanna do.
@The Forgetful Brain: Yeah, tell me about it. It seems a bit low for having to do what they do. People who serve should definitely earn more. $20 000 is peanuts.
That's the sign on bonus. It used to be a lot lower. I remember they raised it to $10,000 a couple years back and now it's 20 or 30. Who knows what it was before that...
All I know is that right when I walked into a National Guard base they have a huge check on the wall that says "$20,000" and "Your name here!". lol
@MooglesInMyFace: lol. I guess when you put it that way. A giant check is pretty sweet. I still think soldiers should get paid more.I couldn't even begin to imagine what they have to face and all they endure on a daily basis.
* 60% of the scoring is based on "educational" value so you should definitely see a bias toward the educational aspect of Teen Dating Violence in the winning games
* we saw a 40% increase in the number of entries this year!
* we also received entries and requests for info from several different countries representing four continents - and one of the winning entries is from Mexico!
Thanks again to Brian and the Kotaku community for the tremendous support that Jennifer Ann's Group has received.
I'm currently in Europe for law school and am spreading the word about teen dating violence here. Today I was fortunate enough to meet with a Supreme Court Justice of Austria while in Vienna and briefly spoke with him about our efforts and the need to educate teens / young adults about this very real issue.
And... for those of you wondering about the "luscious hair and sparkling smile" I can only say that we *do* share the smile. Check out our website if you wanna see the hair!
I wish I could make a witty comment or joke like I'm sure some others will, but I kind of remember why the subject is so important to you, Brian, and why Valentines Day still sucks. It's just a heap of sad. :(
Thanks for the update on where this contest went. I'm excited to see what kind of creativity will come out here.
@alaren: I was about 50 minutes into working on a tetris, and I looked away at the last second and dropped a piece leaving an unfixable space. I managed to salvage two lines, and as I was trying to end the game to see if it has a high-score list (it doesn't seem too) it dropped one of the double straights.
I just was playing this earlier today when I found it on stumble. It lasted about 4 minutes before I got bored and moved on. Props to whoever played long enough to fill up the screen in that screen shot.
This is why game design is "easy" to get wrong. I must say I'm impressed but none of my impressions would be a reason to actually buy this game if it were on sale. I suppose it's good though to have things like this exist in the free realm. It's truly something to behold.

Failed twice at over an hour also.

I am almost to my first Tetris (40 minutes) and it dropped a DOUBLE STRAIGHT PIECE.
It's eight blocks long, colored dark grey. You would have to play for hours to get eight lines at once but there is a SPECIAL PIECE!
Unfortunately I have been trashing pieces above my 4 line so I can't even make a go at it. But... eight lines at once! It can be done...
03/14/09
I almost started over to try and use it.

But I've already lost an hour of my life and a lot of my sanity.
...maybe tomorrow.
