Ok everyone, I’m making up a new Twitter / Facebook game. You can use it in either place (or as I plan to do since I use TweetDeck, both).

This little game is called FabriTweet. And here is how it goes:

• You fabricate the most outrageous story that you possibly can fit into 140 characters or less.
• You Tweet it and use the hashtag #fabritweet

I’ve already set my search up in TweetDeck to keep an eye out for FabriTweets, so I hope that someone out there will play along! This could just prove to be a fun creative outlet to provide Christmas cheer all day long.

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve posted a game, but this one was too good not to share!

Alright, alright… I know the description sounds terrible. But just look at that cute little blobby looking fellow! How could you not want to play this game? Tell you what, instead of thinking that you are playing with vomit, how about just thinking about it like it was jell-o?!? You are just kind of sucking the jell-o in and spitting it out. Pay no attention to the fact that you are using your “jello” as a propulsion system at times, or a swimming pool at others!

The Description

You’re born into this world a guinea pig before god. Unsure of his motives you progress through life solving his puzzles searching for meaning in the rudimentary problems of everyday life.

To make sense of life we must evolve past our previous forms, purge from our bodies the rules set in place by our previous selves in order to see the future with new eyes….

In other words Spewer is a game about puking.

Ok. It’s been a little while since I posted a game, but here is one that I just can’t resist. If you happen to be a fan of the old Space Invaders video game, you’re really going to like this little gem. This modern interpretation of the arcade classic adds some nice features. Most notably, gravity!

Now when you shoot the alien ships, they fall out of the sky. They even pile up in your path! So, you can be surrounded by the carcasses of the aliens you destroy! Awesome!

This is the continuation of the original Storm the House action game in which you defend your home from marauding attackers by any means necessary! The nice thing about this version is that it adds some new weapons and also seems to improve your ability to shoot the bad guys. But what really happened is they probably just made it a little easier.

Anyway, I’m warning you, if you start playing this game you’re going to be stuck with it for hours! It happened to me. In fact, I went on so long that I actually beat the game! If you look down below you’ll see screen shots of what’s in store for you if you manage to do it. Enjoy!

Thanks to a suggestion from Jim over on the Tanks, The Game page, I found Storm the House, which is another fantastically addictive little game.

The deal is, you are hunkered down in your cozy little bungalow as a bunch of armed bandits are trying to rape and pillage. It’s your job to shoot them before they get close enough to violate you.

Every time you clear a level, you are given some money and the ability to spend it on upgrades such as hiring gunmen to help you protect your hacienda, or perhaps even a nice little rocket launcher to unleash hell and carnage from the sky!
Enjoy!

Don’t forget, there are nearly 40 other games to waste your time here.

It’s been one of those weeks folks, so I decided that we needed a new game around here and the Stress Relief Paintball game seemed like just the trick!

The premise of this game is that you fire paintballs at happy faces that appear all over your office. You’ve got to be fairly accurate and hit several of the smilies in order to move on to the next level. Just use your mouse to aim and fire!

Hint: You can reload your paint ball gun in the bottom right corner. So give it a try!

All right already… I know this game is not the Bubble Shooter game – but hear me out. It’s still pretty darn amusing!

Do you remember the original game of pong? You know, you used a couple of paddle controllers and there was a little ball which bounced back and forth and kept going faster and faster? Well, this game is essentially Pong on steroids! You try to break through all the bricks, and your little paddle can get bonuses to make it larger, or give it the ability to shoot a gun, and all sorts of other stuff.

Give it a try. It might at least serve as an occasional break from the bubbles!

Folks, I came across this game and couldn’t stop playing it for hours. It’s way, way better than Tetris, though kind of along the same line.

Basically the goal is to use your mouse to point and shoot bubbles up into the group that is descending upon you. If you get three or more bubbles in consecutive alignment they pop. You can see what the next color bubble you’ll have to shoot is, so choose wisely where to aim if you have more than one possible target.

Ok, the best thing about this game is that you can actually play multi-player against a friend – or you can go head to head with the computer. In addition, each time you win a battle you accumulate points which you can use to upgrade your tank with everything from weapons to armor.

I found this game to be so addictive that I played it for hours straight. So, if you get started you might as well write off the rest of the day because your productivity is going to be shot! (No pun intended.)

Did you know there is actually a difference between Mahjong (also spelled mahjongg, mah-jong, or mah-jongg) and Mahjong Solitaire? Mahjong is actually a 4 player game involving skill, strategy, calculation, and luck; while Mahjong solitaire is a tile matching, single player game.

‘Mah-jong’ can be translated from Chinese as ‘clattering sparrow’, ‘flax sparrow’ or possibly as ‘hemp bird’. The tiles when shuffled make a melodious noise reminiscent of the noise of numerous sparrows squabbling over scattered food crumbs.

Since many of us are addicted to this little game, I thought I’d put it up here in case we are ever away from our computer but have access to an Internet connection that way we can hustle on over here and get a fix! (Get to it already!)

Without a doubt Joust is my favorite arcade game of all time. I can’t explain why, it just is. So now it is immortalized here on the blog so I can come back and waste countless hours any time I want to!

Oh, and you guys can feel free to play it as well, because I like to share. That’s the kind of guy I am.

Continuing this week’s theme of Classic Arcade Games I present, for your paying pleasure, the classic Asteroids.

The controls are simple.

• Left and right arrow keys rotate your ship
• Up arrow key turns on the thruster
• Spacebar fires
• “P” pauses the game
• “Y” starts a new game
• “Shift” gives you the hyperspace jump.
