Exposing my socks to the world

Wetrix is an interesting kind of puzzle game. In it, you have to build a table to hold water that falls from the sky… I wish I could make stuff like that up, sell it, then get rich, but I didn’t.



The game itself is actually pretty fun if you like puzzlers, but what’s really neat about it is that after you get a high score, you get a code that you can enter on the web site and compete with other players from around the world.

Warcraft 3. I finally got my hands on it, and I’ve been giving it a little workout lately. I haven’t actually gotten too far into it, but from what I’ve seen, it’s a whole lot like Warcraft 1, which is the last Warcraft game that I played. Not that that’s a bad thing, Warcraft: Orcs and Humans was one of the best games I have ever played. If something works, don’t screw with it.

The Legend of Zelda series is one of the most popular series of games ever. this site is just one of many, many sites devoted to this series.

Like fighting? If you like the same 11 games that these guys do, then they have quite a bit of information. They have the most comprehensive information on Rocky that I’ve ever seen…

I know it’s happened to me more than once. I’ll be playing a game and something exceptionally odd will happen that I wish I would have gotten a picture of. Luckily, these guys have captured some of those moments and posted them for posterity.



Unfortunately the rest of the site isn’t as good.

I have Hook for the NES. I don’t like it. Rather than tell you why, I’ll let these guys do it.

After getting a good deal on Teleroboxer the other day, I decided to update my games list over at IGN.com.



I still have some games that aren’t listed in IGN’s database, but they do have the majority of what I own… Maybe I have too many games…



Naaaah!

January is the month that Nintendo packages a little something extra into their magazine, as sort of a ‘Thank you’ to its subscribers. This year, they packaged a CD in with it.



The CD is a soundtrack of Super Smash Bros. Melee performed by an orchestra. The track listing is as follows:

1. Planet Corneria
2. Jungle Garden
3. Great Bay Shrine
4. Dr. Mario
5. Original Medley
6. Fountain of Dreams
7. Pok
   

This map is a recreation of Hyrule Castle from the beginning of The Legend of Zelda for the Super Nintendo. The layout is almost identical to the Super Nintendo version, except that instead of rupees and treasure chests, there are Rocket Launchers and Link Guns. The download is here.

Over at Snoot.org they are having a competition to determine the wussiest classic video game character. You can cast your vote by going to the page and clicking on who would win the match at the top of the screen. As of writing this, my boy Little Mac is holding steady at the 31st wussiest character, less wussy than the Eggplant Wizard and the L-piece from Tetris.
