    That kinda sucks. Everyone knows the real Balloon Boy game consists of one main game supported by mini games.

    The main game is rather like a text adventure/dating sim game, where you play as the parents planning the hoax after their recent stint on Wife Swap. Then you get to play the mini games; in 'Pretend to hide' you play as Falcon sitting in his room while his parents fail to prepare him for the media and 'Balloon Blow' where you control wind currents keeping the balloon afloat. As well as many more! Back in the main game you finally get to appear on TV and try to keep Falcon from blurting out the truth.

    That part is almost impossible.

    @Heartless141, dood!: Lol @ that video, love collage humor especially their POVs.

    I read somewhere that a director or writer was joking about making a movie but you know Hollywood they'll make almost anything into a movie even if it pisses off fans of the original source , I'm looking at you RE and DB movies. #timewasters

    Imagine if, instead of making a flash-based game based on whatever retarded story the media is fawning over at the time, the people spent those few hours working on a cure for cancer or hemorrhoids.

    That would suck, we'd have nothing to do during work. #timewasters

    Not all the stuff they promised is out yet, but it looks like ever week they will be realising new stuff. So far there no new pet costumes, but there is a new pet that is dressed up as a mummy. Also, the costumes are one piece, so no mixing and matching different parts.

    There two new mini games one is just like the mining/berry picking/blacksmithing game and the other one is somewhat similar to the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs game that they had running through September for Americans only.

    There is a special Halloween prize wheel, too. The decorations are super cool; you can tell that they went the extra mile. All in all, it's a great update. It's just too bad that I have done almost everything there is to do in the game, so I won’t be playing it much. #freerealms

    This was a pretty good game for the first few days I played it before moving on. Good game though.

    Though with Earth Realm out, I wonder which browser game of the two is the best? Discounting Runescape of course.

    Earth Realm has furries, just in case any animal fetish lover is looking for a new MMO.

    Edit: Apparently I'm the only one who's played this game. spooktacular!
