Flash Fun: Minions on Ice (from the creators of the new Desktop Tower Defense)

Sometimes, all you want to do is climb into a heavy-duty tank and blow up someone else up in a massive game of capture-the-flag.

That’s just what you do in MINIONS ON ICE, one of the many games from David Scott and the CREATIVE COLLECTIVE, the creators of DESKTOP TOWER DEFENSE.

Yeah, that’s right. David Scott is one of the masterminds behind Creative Collective, and he’s the guy who practically invented the Tower Defense genre that has killed so much of our free time with games such as Flash Element TD or variations from other developers like GEMCRAFT Chapter Zero.

What we’re trying to say here is that this is the gaming site behind one of the forces behind the casual gaming movement. Web Watch wouldn’t steer you wrong on this. Trust us – this stuff is good.

(Which reminds Web Watch – there’s a new version of DESKTOP TOWER DEFENSE available for Facebook users, with weekly updated maps. Thought you’d want to know.)

Remember the old school basketball video game ONE ON ONE (Larry Bird vs Dr J)?

How about trying to play the same game of one-on-one, but with thousands of people from around the world?

Have you ever played the card game FLUXX?

It’s very simple to play, as there aren’t any rules until you begin the game. Just do whatever is listed on the cards, and you’ll figure out the rest. Every game is unique as the played cards interact in different ways.

So why not take the same philosphy and apply it to a game show?

Need a retro videogame fix? The Atari arcade is now online!

Growing up in the 80’s, having a Atari home video game console was as much of a status symbol as having a PS3 with the full Rock Band setup was a year ago (now, not as much since everyone seems to have it by now).

But as we’ve gotten older, we’ve lost the power cords and couldn’t find the replacement Atari 2600 joysticks that we had set aside in case of emergencies such as this.

This is why Web Watch is thrilled that Atari has taken it upon themselves to open their free online ATARI ARCADE website, featuring the best of their original games just for you.

Remember that Drew Carey show with Drew and all his funny friends from WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY doing all their improv stuff in front of a green screen?

Wouldn’t it be fun to do that at home, but instead of having to improvise comedy, all you have to do is insert yourself into a real movie and act out the scene yourself?

Now’s your chance to YOOSTAR!

Sometimes the hardest thing about figuring out where to go for lunch or dinner is simply trying to figure out where to go for lunch or dinner.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could just randomly select a restaurant from your local zip code, any time you wanted?

Well, now you can!

“What Do You Put in a Toaster?” and other Brain Teasers and Dementia Tests

Post author By web gangsta
Post date October 4, 2009

The most common answer to “What do you put in a toaster”? is “toast”.

That’s wrong. Toast is what you get out of a toaster after you put bread in.

So how do you know if you’re losing your mind or just aren’t thinking straight?

You could take this test, developed for World Alzheimer’s Day, to see how much you know about ALZHEIMER’S FACTS AND MYTHS, or you could take the DEMENTIA SCREENING SURVEY, an 8-question quiz that can help you determine the difference between dementia and mere forgetfulness… or you can read on for a number of fun games and tests that you can share with others.
