This has a rude word in it (you're warned), but it's FUNNY.

Wow! I think my students will appreciate this when talking about modern agriculture.

Heh, that was yesterday's game on OML. I didn't play it for very long, though.

I thought that the title and intro were worth the mention....I'm not really into side-scrollers (so I played about 2m). What's OML?

It's One More Level (onemorelevel.com if you want the actual site addy) - they add a new game every weekday from various such game sites. There are some great ones on there - if you click the "All" button in the menu on the left, it'll show you everything they've got (listed alphabetically), or you can select a category if you're looking for sometthing of a specific type. They have a Random button too, if you want to...well, play something random :).

Here's something I spent too long playing last night (finished it though!) after finding a link on my other forum...

www.parapluesch.com

Kind of a puzzle game I suppose. I've cured all of them!

Lol, tried my luck with the title character, but after one breakthrough, I seemed to manage to regress to the point of it being worse than before I started! The patient was in the red, having a gameboy hooked up to the internet! Oh well!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE WHO MADE THE GAME WHAT IT WAS - GREAT!

Wow, you managed to go backwards with Lilo? I got most of the others into the red (however briefly), but Lilo I found the easiest and had cured in about ten minutes. If you get really stuck you can select the "Professional assistance" (or whatever it's called) option, which brings up basically a hint as to what you should do to move them on to the next stage. If you've smegged it completely you may have to give them a bit of electro-therapy to "reset" their condition.

I interpretted the dream, which was good, and then got him on to the gameboy, but I guess it was too soon, so it actually meant he regressed in to his fantasy world instead of being a health outlet, so he ignored other stuff, the drugs didn;t work nor did the sock puppet, and even the phone thing he just jacked it in to his gameboy!

Do dream analysis again once he's using the Tetris game (dream analysis is one of the main "tools" you use on all the patients - it gets them to remember stuff and helps you figure them out a bit more each time too).

Still got squashed? Hrmmm maybe there is one thing you need to do between giving him Tetris and doing dream analysis again. Bah, I can't remember lol.

TED is currently the best site on the web IMHO. I spend hours on there. Check out all their talks, there's some really inspiring stuff:
