Johnny Rocketfingers Returns

May 20, 2006 by The O

I found an interesting rpg flash game on ebaums where you play the role of a Johnny Rocketfingers, a drug-using, heat packing stick figure in an apparently decrepid city. While this is apparently a sequel, I have never played the original. Regardless, it doesn’t make a difference since there doesn’t appear to be any references […]

Super Mario Commie

May 14, 2006 by Dave

Crossover leads to Epic, Epic leads to Disco…

May 3, 2006 by Dave

You gotta check out this crossover of Lord of the Rings and Star Wars called Starlords. It’s intercut and edited scenes of moments from both series, with some music added. The site just got boingboinged, so it’s a little slammed, but trust me, it’s worth downloading. Especially for Christopher Lee talking to himself: “I can’t […]

Play DuckHunt on MySpace on InterNet

April 30, 2006 by Dave

It may not be legal, but you can play a whole bunch of NES games in your browser using Java. It also gives you the code to post the games in your blog or whatnot. I could already play NES games on my cell phone but it looks like they’ve got a whole bunch of […]
