Madness Combat: Depredation
Dizzam, son! Talk about some serious ultraviolent ass-kicking.
Madness Combat: Depredation is the fifth installment of Madness Combat, and in the spirit of Xiao Xiao, this takes flash animation to a new level of action. From kick ass gunplay, to sword fighting, to the eventual reality-warping clown encounter, this little ditty will have you hooked. Also, the music does a pretty good job of accompanying the action. Take five minutes out of your busy day and see some fighting. (via

Milko Cereal?
I was just minding my business, when I came across a kick-ass game over at
lazy laces. It was created by the Greek version of Yoo-Hoo! (well, I'm not sure exactly, but it looks like it's some shelf stable chocolate milk drink called Milko). But anyway, the game is aptly called
Milko Game. It's a really well done game in the spirit of Space Quest, King's Quest, or more likely Monkey Island. You crash on a tropical Island and have to find your way off. Along the way your crush gets captured by cannibals, your friend adopts a talking elephant, you uncover buried pirate treasure, and solve puzzles along the way. I've been playing it here and there all week and finally finished it. I think you'll like it, but be warned if you find yourself glued to your computer for a few hours. Happy Friday, enjoy! Oh, and if you need a helping hand, drop me a comment and I can point you to a walkthrough. There are a few times you might bang your head against the wall.

Harold's Food Frenzy
What would Wednesday be without a little flash game to divert you attention from the fact that the week isn't even half over yet, dammit. So put your food-flinging skills to the test with
Harold's Food Frenzy from the BBC. The object is simple, throw food at hungry customers before they storm out in a huff. Now all I have to figure out is who the heck is Harold? Some BBC Mr. Belvedere or something? Anyway, enjoy. (via

Bill to honor Napoleon Dynamite in Idaho?
WTF is up in Idaho? I have no idea how something like this gets up on the official legislature website of Idaho, but it's Freakin' Hilliarious:
House Concurrent Resolution No. 29Napoleon Dynamite, production. The bill aims to honor "Jared and Jerusha Hess and the city of Preston for the production of the movie
Napoleon Dynamite." Some of the highlights from this actual piece of legislature are:
- tater tots figure prominently in this film thus promoting Idaho's most famous export
- Napoleon's bicycle and Kip's skateboard promote better air quality and carpooling as alternatives to fuel-dependent methods of transportation
- Rico and Kip's Tupperware sales and Deb's keychains and glamour shots promote entrepreneurism and self-sufficiency in Idaho's small towns
- Napoleon's tetherball dexterity emphasizes the importance of physical education in Idaho public schools
- Tina the llama, the chickens with large talons, the 4-H milk cows, and the Honeymoon Stallion showcase Idaho's animal husbandry
- any members of the House of Representatives or the Senate of the Legislature of the State of Idaho who choose to vote "Nay" on this concurrent resolution are "FREAKIN' IDIOTS!" and run the risk of having the "Worst Day of Their Lives!"
And that's all I have to say about that. Ain't that just plain ridiculous? I hope the bill passes and vote "aye." (via

Clocky
Have you ever hit the snooze button in the morning? Ever hit it, God forbid, twice? Three times? And it made you late for school? work? your wedding? parole hearing? Getting sick of my questions? Well, then you need to check out
Clocky. It's the ugliest alarm clock with a knack for hiding from you. When you hit the snooze button, it rolls off it's table and searches for a place to hide. Then, when it goes off again you have to get out of bed to find the little bastard. It's pure genius. Now all you have to do is teach it to make coffee and get you a bagel and you're all set. More news at 11:00. (via
