Reading Technology

This is a link to a comic in the series called DogHouseDiaries. I find that they are rather insightful and funny, I clicked through more than a few of theses and laughed. The art style is simple but the captions are hilarious. Some of the comics feature long dialogues and others are simple and straight to the point like this one. I hope that you'll enjoy them as much as I did! Here is the link to their website: http://thedoghousediaries.com/ I have included one of the comics below.

Incredibox

Here is another interesting interactive flash game of sorts. You assign different sound tracks to the singers as they appear and create your own song. Different variables to manipulate are Instruments, Percussions, Effects, Chorus, and Voices. It is very similar to the subject of my previous post called Equine melody which is linked to here: http://goodinternetforyou.blogspot.com/2010/12/equine-melody.html I thoroughly enjoyed tinkering with the different combinations of sounds for awhile, it should keep you busy! The link to try it yourself is here: http://www.incredibox.fr/ I have also included a screenshot of the game below. Enjoy!

Where is the Red?

This flash game is really well done, simple and fun! Everyone should already know how to play, just pick the cup with the red chip under it. Simple right? The cups move progressively faster and it gets harder as you advance through the levels. I got to level 16 on my first try, see if you can do better! Conveniently enough it's also available as an android app! The link to the game is here: http://butchersworkshop.com/witr/. I have included a screenshot of the game below. Enjoy!

Memes

If you've been around the internet you've probably seen Memes before. Memes are template images with a set personality or theme, usually with the intent to be funny. Anyone can get the template image and write in whatever text they want. There are so many thousands of different versions of memes that there are bound to be some really good ones. Two of my favorites and also rather common ones are Good Guy Greg and Philosoraptor. Good guy Greg embodies many good stereotypes and makes the charitable move in any situation. Philosoraptor is a raptor that asks philosophical questions as the name suggests. Go to http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/popular to browse and search through a huge selections of memes. You can also see statistics and write-ups about them there. I have also included two examples below. Enjoy!

Free Full Games

Well it has been over a year since my last post. I've had a lot of other things on my plate, But now I'm going to start posting again! It's okay to jump for joy, don't worry I won't mind. Well over this past year I have been playing a few good games on my computer. I don't know about you but I love the word free! Free games are awesome. Notably: Team Fortress 2 and League of Legends. TF2 is a first person shooter by valve that's on steam, if you know about PC games you've heard of it. League of Legends is an RTS (real time strategy) game where you control a champion from a birds-eye view. The goal of the game is to kill the other champions and push up the three lanes in the map and eventually destroy the other team's nexus. When you destroy the nexus you win the game. I highly recommend both of these games to anyone who is bored and penniless because they both offer numerous hours of playing time and fun without costing anything. To get steam and through that TF2, go to: https://steamcommunity.com. To get League of Legends go to: na.leagueoflegends.com. I'm putting a screenshot of each game below, take a look and go try one of them out. You won't be disappointed!
