Face transformer

Ever wanted to change the way you looked? Well now you can! You need a photo of a face on your hard drive to upload, and away you go.


 

Pimp My Snack

A site based on a genius concept - take everyday snacks and make them HUGE. Be sure to check out the jaffa cake and the jammie dodger. I found that looking at most of these things made me hungry, with a few exceptions that made me feel slightly nausious (think of the sugar content!)

 

Hike 24

Have a look what these crazy guys are doing! Hiking non stop for 24 hours from Egham to Oxford and beyond!



 

Don't Shoot The Puppy

RRRRThats5Rs presents the genius that is Don't Shoot The Puppy!
There are 15 levels in all, how far can you get?


 

ReadPlease

I hate to do this, because it's a shareware program, not freeware, but this is a tool which I've found most useful for 'reading' excessively long blog entries (*cough* Sarah *cough* Laura *cough* Naomi *cough* Paula *cough* etc...) Just copy and paste the text, and away you go! The woman has an annoying american voice, and sounds like a bit of a harlot, but you can download a British add on pack.

Blue ball machine

Sit in awe as the little blue balls get transported about, bounce off things, get cut in half, glued back together again, etc. etc. etc. I must have watched this for at least 5 minutes, and would you believe it's animated in only 30 frames! I think it has music with it too, but I've not listened to that.

Teen Girl Squad!

Internet cartoons don't get much funnier than this! Tales of four stereotypical teenage friends. Genius, just genius!

Silly Tube Maps

An entire page of pictures of alternate Tube Maps. Maps showing actual locations of stations and lines, maps showing which parts of the Underground are underground, even maps showing where to go if you need the loo on the tube!

 

The Brick Testament

No doubt lots of people will have seen this before, but I thought it was worth adding here (if only to pretend there's still some kind of life in this blog!) Many thanks to Big Chris for reminding me of it!

Christmas Carol Maker

Click on notes at the right time to write a Christmas carol, listen to a load of elves sing it, then send it to a friend.

The Infinite Cat Project

Someone put a picture of a cat on the net. Next someone put a picture of their cat looking at the picture of the first cat on the net. Soon there were cats looking at cats looking at cats looking at ...

Tontie Version 1

So it turns out the old version of Tontie was Tontie Version 0. The updated version now includes treasure chests, new enemies and a ray gun! It also has more levels, and gets pretty tough to follow what's going on by level 12 or so. I'm still not convinced of what everything does (eg. the frozen heart thing?)

Heli Attack 3

I've never seen Heli Attack 1, but Heli Attack 3 is much like Heli Attack 2. The improvements are an introduction of a level system, some new guns, advanced controls and new types of enemy. There's not really much to it (it's quite short), but it's more fun than biting your leg off.

Tontie

A very strange game, but a strangely addictive game none-the-less. Use the number pad to hit the alien things when they pop up. Collect coins, and use them in the shop (it only occasionally pops up). Each level a new thing is introduced, some of which you're meant to hit, some you aren't, some you have to hit more than once. I can't describe the whole game, try playing it instead.

BMXPark

Feels a bit like a flash version of Tony Hawkes, only on a bike instead of a skateboard. The game plays really well, and you can do all sorts of moves with stupid names by just pressing buttons with the right timing. Don't look at the high score list though - it was quite depressing to see that already today there's 100 people who were at least 10 times better than me.

Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

Not the original text based adventure (link to come later), but quite good all the same. 42 levels of click on stuff fun, where the first aim each time is to work out what you should be doing in the first place. You get a score at the end of it, but frankly I can't see how you can get anywhere near the scores on the score board.

Puzzle Donkey

What? It's not a Flash game?...
No, in fact this is more of a challenge. There's 100 (I think) levels, and each level is a puzzle. Some are easy, some are near impossible. You have to register to use it, but it doesn't take very long. Also I'd recommend registering for the forum as well - it contains lots of hints for when you get stuck.

Flash Flash Revolution

A brilliant adaption of Dance Dance Revolution ("The dance mat game") for PC. Sadly you have to play using your fingers unless you have a giant keyboard or very small feet. It's really quite addictive, and as long as you don't mind playing with royalty free music, it's almost identical.

The Blue Chamber

The third in the escape-from-the-room game series is a real disapointment. Although it's slightly more logical than the Viridian Room (that's not difficult), it lacks in graphics, depth and also fails to be as interesting as the other two.
In short if you're a big fan of the other two then you might want to try this, otherwise give it a miss.

The Viridian Room

The follow up to the Crimson Room, is the Viridian Room (where do they get these crazy colours?). Surprisingly bad really. Although the game is still very frustrating, the causality seems a little bit warped in places.
