Level 27: Fingerjig
Full disclosure: you know when you were in grade school and you had “computer class” (or maybe you didn’t, but I did) and it wasn’t so much computer class as typing class (or, playing Oregon Trail class, for some of you I know? And they always put that thing over your hands to prevent you […]

Level 26: Wrecking Ball
With all the hype about the movie and the extensive promotion campaign that has been done around the new Simpsons movie, I was pretty excited for this Simpson’s game.
Tragically, it just did not deliver. I guess they spent the budget remodeling all those Kwik-E-Marts. The game basically consists of ramming a wrecking ball into a […]
Level 25: Urban Dead
The same friend who introduced me to Boomshine was the one who introduced me to Urban Dead.
Urban Dead is the first RPG I ever participated in, which isn’t entirely accurate, because it’s actually an MMORPG - a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game. Except that not everyone really gets into the “role-playing” bit.
Now, I don’t […]

Level 24: Gonzo’s Stunt Game
Gonzo’s Stunt Game lets you shoot Gonzo across the room, trying to land him in a tiny bucket of water.
You can change the angle of the cannon and the force with which Gonzo shoots out of the end. If you miss, you hurt Gonzo. Too many misses and you win him a ride in […]
Level 23: Doodle
Ah, Minclip, the home of all of my most favorite online mini-games. Whenever I have a spare 10 minutes at work (pretty much never) they are almost always spent there.
Doodle is a game that (literally) tests the theory that the pen is mightier that the sword. You play a little doodle dude trying on […]

Level 22: Up Beat
I’m not a big an of DDR. Certainly part of the reason is that I embarrass easily. So when I saw Up Beat, I thought to myself “Self, its like DDR for the fingers. On your own computer. With no one watching. What’ve you got to lose?” And so I tried it.
The first page is […]
Level 21: Agent Scarecrow #1
Last year we reviewed two games by Johnny B., Jack French and Jack French 2, both sleuth games. The creator came out with a new game a couple of months ago, titled Agent Scarecrow #1. Of course, we had to review it again. Behold, the profundity:
The game opens with “average guy” (I’ll call him […]

Level 20: Bugs
Orisinal Games are some of my favorites. Always simple, always pretty and usually with relaxing music. Bugs did not disappoint.
The idea of the game is to make a big bubble around yourself. Contrary to my belief in the first three times I tried to play the game, you are NOT trying to capture the bugs […]

The criticisms of my students would serve as a good warning to visitors of Seeworthy: she talks too fast, she's too hard on us, she assigns too much work, and you have to be a dyke to get a good grade.
In other words, I'm a big, fat, queer, feminist meanie, and I am totally out to get you. Graaagh!
