What Should You Do Today?

Like games?  Like hard games?  How about really frickin’ hard games where just about everything you do will cause you to die?  Then I have just the game for you today.

I Want to be the Guy! is a game hat pays homage to the old 2-D platforming style of video games, with a unique difficulty that will drive you insane.  Offering save points along the way was a must, but just getting to one of those save points itself will prove much more difficult than you would believe.

From the game’s web site ;

 I Wanna Be The Guy: The Movie: The Game is a sardonic loveletter to the halcyon days of early American videogaming, packaged as a nail-rippingly difficult platform adventure. Players fill the role of The Kid, a youthful, vaguely Megaman-esque protagonist on a quest to become The Guy. This inscrutable plot, however, is just a vehicle for a wide variety of inventive, well-designed and frustrating jump-and-shoot challenges that pay homage to many of the games you loved as a child. The ever-fragile Kid explodes in a shower of red pixels at the slightest brush from the game’s many obstacles, from traditional spikes and bottomless pits to more unconventional killers, such as plantlife and puzzle pieces.

 You’re probably sitting there thinking “How hard could it really be” or “They couldn’t possibly make death possible at every turn” right?  Wrong.

Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5

 And you thought Mike Tyson was tough enough before, didn’t you?

Go ahead.  Give it a shot if you think you have what it takes to be the guy! Leave a comment to say how well you did, or didn’t do!

I saw this on CNET the other day and just had to share it with you!

If you are looking for a way to kill some time why not play a game of Pong right inside your web browser? To play Window Pong you will need to have your ad-blocker turned off. Don’t worry, you can turn it back on when you are finished playing!

The game uses a set of pop up windows for the two paddles, ball, and the score. You use your mouse to control your paddle while the computer controls the opposing paddle. If you get tired of Pong then try out Snake , developed by the same programmers. I have yet to play Snake so I can not attest to the fun factor.

When will somebody put together a pop-up version of Super Mario Brothers? That is when I will be impressed!

Tonight at 8pm ABC will be airing A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving , so be sure to put that on your to do list or set your DVR or VCR!

Peppermint Patty invites herself and her friends over to Charlie Brown’s for Thanksgiving, and with Linus, Snoopy, and Woodstock, he attempts to throw together a Thanksgiving dinner.  Poor old wishy-washy Charlie Brown can’t cook though unless it is cold cereal, and he is bound to pour too much milk to make that breakfast soggy! What a blockhead!

After the half hour classic special airs ABC will air This is America Charlie Brown: The Mayflower Voyagers, an educational half hour special  in which the Peanuts cast tells the story of the first settlers in America.

If you miss tonight’s airing ABC will also broadcast the Thanksgiving specials again on Thanksgiving night.

Today is Friday and typically it is a big movie night. So why not take it easy tonight and go out and catch a movie. If you have yet to see it I would recommend the latest James Bond film, Quantam of Solace. Personally I am also interested in the new Disney computer animated movie, Bolt . If you are lucky enough you can even see the movie in 3-D!

For the teenage girls there is Twilight , based on the book. Twilight is an action packed, modern-day love story between a teenage girl and a vampire. Honestly I don’t get it but it seems to be fairly popular for the teenage girl portion of the country.

To each their own is what I say. What movie will you take in this weekend? what are your movie suggestions for other readers? What do you think of the new releases?
