The Death of Me... Enter the AD-FREE zone

Games like this are the reason I don't play computer games anymore. I have an "addictive personality." When I start to play games like this, I just don't stop. It's these "one more turn/round/go" games that keep me forever entrenched in front of my monitor.

This is why, despite repeated offers from friends, I've never played EQ. This is why I stopped playing Civ. This is why I had to limit my dew consumption, and why I will never do drugs or smoke.

In a few days, I'll be dead of exhaustion, because my bastard of a friend gave me this link.

*shudder* Yes... the same friend has tried to drag me into Morrowind as well. I'm beginning to think he doesn't like me very much.

I'm poor! The only valuable thing I've got is the thing I'm staring at right now, and it's technically my dad's, and my friend built a better one out of spare parts a couple weeks ago.

That was a long sentence. Hmm, tiredness showing through...

Oh thank the gods of others, I beat it! Now, hopefully, I can go back to my usual staring at a blank monitor, instead of this freakish staring at a monitor with silly cartoons on it and pressing buttons that do things to the cartoons.

Got my score up to 84.

It seems the best tactic is to pull about one of your men to far lower right hand corner of the screen where the enemy can't them. THen control one at a time to do hit and run shots against the enemy.

That's what I figured out, too.

Ah yes, snowcraft, or as we called it in my day, "Snowball Fight". Truly a marvel of a game, I once dreamed of beating level seven, but I now beat myself free of such delusions. Such a task was not meant for mere man.

In the last two levels getting that man down there requires a good deal of speed.

Hmmmm, it seems to help instead hiding them in the far lower left corner, harder to reach and easier to move them in reach the enemy. Will try again tommorow, finishing with a score of 528.

Thank Buddha for freakin' video games, man, because I have, like the world's WORST insomnia, and if it weren't for the old DC or PSX2 (if I'm desperate), I'd go nucking futs.
