This designer, along with the designer next to them, learned a valuable lesson. If at first you don't succeed . . . try, try again. They spent about 30 minutes in frustration, and then they figured it out, and then it was like watching a mad genius at work.   Check out their submission and vote for them in the comments.  Please only one vote per person.  But feel free to send this to your friends and family. See the game after the jump.

Our next designer asks one very important question, "Are you ready for the thunder?" Which you have to be ready for, because by "thunder" they actually mean 40 enemies. Whew. That's a marathon of battle. So are you ready for the thunder?   Check out their submission and vote for them in the comments.  Please only one vote per person.  But feel free to send this to your friends and family. See the game after the jump.

This designer didn't try to trick people with clever names or anything like that. Instead, they spent a lot of time and patience making a fun and sometimes difficult game for players to enjoy. And man is it fun.   Check out their submission and vote for them in the comments.  Please only one vote per person.  But feel free to send this to your friends and family.

This game probably has my favorite title, that actually kind of works. Since I couldn't win, I must not be awesome. :( Anyway the designer spent quite a bit of time on it, so you should too.   Check out their submission and vote for them in the comments.  Please only one vote per person.  But feel free to send this to your friends and family.

Our first designer is also our most prolific, choosing to make a bunch of fun games that just take a few seconds to play.  Check out their submissions and vote for them in the comments.  Please only one vote per person.  But feel free to send this to your friends and family.

What are your favorites . . . Foods!

Friday 13 March 2009 at 09:48 am

This week we had you choose your favorite foods. And there were very few people who put checkmarks, finally. So our numbers this week may be the most honest they've been in a long time.  It also had one of my favorite answers . . . Food!  Just any food, doesn't matter.  LOL!

The Top 5:

Mexican Food - 6

Pizza Rolls - 5

Chinese Food - 4

Food - 3

Skittles - 3

Computer Guts

Thursday 12 March 2009 at 09:48 am

We didn't really know what to expect from our computer guts activity.  I just thought it would be cool to see the inside of a computer, to be able to actually hold a mother board, and learn what all those little parts are.  So I asked Brad, one of our tech guys, and also our computer class teacher to come up show us the inside of a computer.  Those who attended got to see and learn all about memory, video cards, audio cards, etc.  But Brad's general knowledge about computers and the internet helped answer a plethora of questions . . . ranging from downloading music via LimeWire (the software LimeWire is free and even legal, but downloading the songs is not) to how many pieces are actually in a computer (millions.)  Here are some pics from the activity.
