Outrunning Doom in Dino Run

Reader Rob H. pointed out this nice little mid-Sunday diversion: Dino Run. After you get the hang of it you realize nothing in the environment will kill you, just slow you down on your panicked quest to outrun extinction. But most importantly, it's a flash game with multiplayer across three servers, although I waited forever for a game to start up.

Still, to the designers, hat-tip for rendering it like an old 4-bit PC game. I dunno, the tone just seems to deserve that kind of treatment. And also note how your dino farts after you chow down on less fortunate sauropods. Hat-tip for that, too.

The Ultimate Sandboxer

Quite literally. "The Hell of Sand" is a brilliant time-waster of a flash game. "There are many dynamics to this game but no goal. Play around for a while and you'll get the hang of it." Great premise.

You play with four streams of colored sand using 18 different effects, some of them working in awesome combinations with each other.

C-4 and Torch, for example, wasn't too hard to figure out. I've also been making little cups of gunpowder and blasting them to hell with torch. But can someone tell me what "plant" does? Does it grow in the water? I can't figure it out.

gonna dress you up

Geek Chic Mario Dress

At least it isn't a cake? Level 99's Race might be big on Etch-a-Sketch art and being called by the correct gender pronoun, but otherwise she is a tiny gamer. Like a little papercraft gamer who can walk and talk. This being the case, she often has trouble finding clothing that fits her miniscule little frame.
Instead of crying tiny little tears over the whole situation, our heroine decided to take matters of tailoring into her own hands. Having found some Mario-centric fabric, she soon create the magnificint piece of dressmaking you see before you. Topical, functional, and it certainly should keep anyone from thinking she's a man anymore. On top of that, it allows for the slight chance of pudgy Italian plumbers diving headfirst against her trying to get their fix, which is always good for a giggle. Nice job, tiny little Autobot fan!

Sid Meier's Favorite Word Is "Fun"

When computer games and video games collide! Legendary PC game designer Sid Meier is thinking about bringing Civilization to the Nintendo DS. He says, "If we can deliver a fun experience to the players on the DS, then we'll do it." While the ill-fated N-Gage saw a version of Civilization II, Meier wasn't directly involved as the title was licensed out by Atari. He's currently busying himself with a PSP version of Pirates, which he compares to the PC/Xbox version and says "is "looking to be a really fun game." What about the new machines, Sid? More »

The Pong Clocks Are Coming, The Pong Clocks Are Coming

Just this weekend my wife and I were talking about the super cool Pong Clock she ordered for me back in January. If you're not familiar, the Pong Clock is a bit of gaming, a bit of art and a bit of time-telling all rolled into one. The thing hangs on your wall and tells time via the score of an automated and on-going game of Pong. More »

Negone: Crazy Real-Play 3D Game
