My 117 was very lucky -- I got invincibility and micro square very close together. I can't get anywhere close to that again, I'm averaging around 85.

Oh... this black square game is driving me bananas. LOL

Here is a link to "The hardest riddle available on the Internet", apparently. http://deathball.net/notpron/

And this is the link to the main site (where you will also find The Dark Room and other fun games). I already posted a link but this one gets you straight to the games:
http://www.lazylaces.com/search.asp?s=p ... 27%27click


Additional: I started playing the "hardest game on the Internet" and found it more than frustrating. As if they made it deliberately complicated so they can call it the hardest game... Anyway, they have a hint page and there is a forum where you can get hints from too - if you dare to try this game. LOL
I found the game rather boring actually. :roll:

I just found a great site with lots and lots of online games. Not sure if you all already know about this site but here it is: http://www.gamegarage.co.uk/ :D

Wooohooo, managed to complete both The House and The Museum :-D (http://www.anodeetcathode.net/games/)
Took years to find out those codes ;-)
Anyone else who have tried them?

Yes, check out the previous pages. I posted a link to the site and several of us have done the office and the other rooms. :wink:

Yeah, I know some of you have done the office but I haven't heard anything about the house or the museum yet.

Btw, also tried that riddle game you posted. Have come to level 7 but now I'm stuck. ;-)
Will have to continue later tonight :-D

So has anybody tried this game ?

Main problem is, this URL doesn't seem to work with Firefox (oh bitter irony) as it points directly to the Flash file and not to a web page.
Use IE to browse the link, and you might enjoy the game !

Gah, can't anyone find a game I haven't tried before lol ;).
In case anyone hasn't notice, they die straight away if you shoot 'em in the head - if you hit 'em anywhere else they continue to stagger forward and so need to be hit again.

Which riddle game is that then?

And yes, I did all three games but the museum is the only one I haven't finished yet. :wink:

Ameena : yep, and you can change weapons for more powerful ones, like the shotgun who rips the little guys apart and blows up the metal shields (see keyboard shortcuts in the bottom left part of the screen). Have you ever found out how to keep playing without running out of time ?

I think it is just a get the most points you can in a limited time frame type game. It's pretty fun, but the mouse clicking is kind of awkward for me.

I love the general freakery to be found on this site:

Oooh... some of those images look really spooky. LOL

Here is something that I am sure many of you might have seen already?

It makes you think: how can any picture in the digital age be taken seriously? I recently read an article in New Scientist about digital watermarks, and spotting fakes (which relies on complex maths and fourier transforms) but even then, some completely engineered pictures can not be deemed to be undoctored.

Bugger, yet ANOTHER site I've seen before!
But to anyone who's played EQ (and has been to Hollowshade Moor...), one of those weird mergings is an Owlbear! Well, it's not feathered all over like a proper owlbear, but still...

Hey, Ameena, you only ever seem to post at midnight! Either you're a vampire, or are nipping into the computer room on the way back form the student bar...

Lol. Student bar? Not only does my college not have a bar, I dont live there - I live at home. And I never go to pubs anyway. Mind you, as you say, seeing as I post at midnight most of the time, that should be apparent anyway :).
I normally get on the comp after my dad finishes, when he decides to bog off to bed. Then I have some time on here with my boys (rats) out and end up going to bed between 3-4pm. And most weekdays I have to get up at 7:30am for college lol.
Still, hopefully it'll snow hard enough to get off college...but it's been pretty pants so far, though apparently it's meant to snow really hard on Thursday...

Rats! Rats are adorable.

rats are cute, though sometimes the smell isn't!

ah, i remember the days i used to get 3 - 4 hours sleep....vaguely...*slump infront of keyboard*zzzzzzz

Yay! Some people who aren't anti-rattist and thing that they are icky and stuff! And Beo, yes sometimes ratties can smell...but often they smell gorgeous :D. Just hold one up to your face and inhale them...ahhh....especialyl our female rats smell lovely! My sister has nine girls and six boys. I have two boys, and tons of scratch marks round my hands/neck. That's mainly from my sister's boys though, not mine.
I don't normally advertise stuff but if you like rats and like to read really funny anecdotes and stuff about them, the Dapper Rat site (dapper.com.au) is fantastic :D.
Erm...I think we're kind of demolished the original purpose of this thread...whatever it was...or is this the one I started...whups, no it's not...

/shut up

:)

lol at rats smelling nice and being inhaled! i have never tried that...i may never do either, but ok : )

Some people around the world will tell you rats smell extremely nice... when barbecued.

I prefer them as pets to eating them mind!

That square game rules. I just got a chance to check it out.
Current score is 104 squares at 9632 points. I'm not quite up to par with you guys yet. :)

Le sigh, I hate it when I forget to log in. Anyway, I just realized the circles were powerups. I just thought they were there to throw you through a loop. I guess I should read the intructions. :)

116 squares - 12940 points... phew.

I ended up with a huge score of, like, 60,000+ the last time I played. I didn't copy down the exact score/squares, but I should have. Just about the time it got unbearably fast (10,000-ish), I hit a speed up and an invincibility ... The box got as big as the screen and the instant invincibility ran off, I lost. It was pretty funny.

120 squares - 12678 points... What's the board's square record ? (and I'm not talking to you BFS !!! ;) )

Posted: Tue Mar 01, 2005 10:08 pm
by PaulH
BFS had one of those freak occurences! The record was 117, so it is now yours! I can only do 101, and I thought I was quick with the mouse. You ought to have a go at 'race to fusion'!
