I wait with slight terror to find out which of you are going to be getting heavily into these. Desperation or genius on LJ’s part? You decide. Edited to add: I should have had a sweepstake on who would be the first to crack and sign up. Impulsiveness, thy name is kauket… (Yes, the games […]

The Unicyclist
You might like to check out this new Flash game by a friend of mine. Control a unicyclist, propeller twirling and grapple swinging, as he steals the Tzar’s treasure: just the sort of game that I’m hopeless at, but still great fun because of the charming design.
