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

Post author By web gangsta
Post date January 14, 2010

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.)

OMG! (I’m the adult)

Post author By web gangsta
Post date January 9, 2010

Have you ever had one of those days when something major happens in your life and you come to the sudden realization of OMG – I’M THE ADULT?

Like when you’re in a car accident with a teenage driver and somebody has to remember to take pictures, write down insurance info, and call the cops?

Or when you’re at the mall and you see a young man without a belt on, and his sagging pants are dropped so low that his junk is flapping around for the world to see, and you feel that the only responsible thing to do is to pull the lad aside and tell him that his junk is showing.

Detroit’s Hans Steiniger knows all about what it takes to be a true football fan.

That’s because HANS STEINIGER HAS VISITED ALL 31 NFL STADIUMS as part of a four-year quest to complete a unique journey of experiencing each stadium as a “local fan”. Yup, he attended the games as a local would – in full jersey, face-painted, bead-wearing, cheesehead-toting regalia.

A New Year’s Resolution: To Stop Washing with Soap

Post author By web gangsta
Post date January 3, 2010

Every New Year, there are people who make casual New Year’s Resolutions that they hope to keep in order to better themselves (the traditional “stop smoking”, “exercise more”, and “spend more time with loved ones”), and then there are people like Richard Nikoley who believe in making a definitive lifestyle change for overall good.

It seems that Richard has decided to FREE THE ANIMAL within and make some dramatic changes to how he lives his life – things that may seem dramatic to others, that is.

You see, Richard has decided, among other things, to STOP USING SOAP AND SHAMPOO.

Guess what? Your fancy Chinese character tattoo doesn’t say what you think it says.

Some would say that if you’re one of those people who feel the need to have a tattoo on your arm, neck, lower back, calf, or other seen (or unseen) body part that is not in your native language, then you deserve what you get.

You might have asked for your initials to be displayed in Kanji, but you may end up with something entirely different and not necessarily something that you would like to have.
