Tradition!

Some time ago Fiddler on the Roof was playing on the TV and with the show being somehow always a sit-down-and-watch, it ate a good chunk of my day. Odd how a story that doesn't relate to my personal self in any context what-so-ever is so amusing on each and every sit-down. Anyway, here is some TRADITION for those of you unaware of the oddly awesomeness of this film.

Three Day Quckie

For the next few days, three or four or five, there shall be some quick no-nothing posts with a bit of music or something similar in order to clear out some of my link backlog once again. Expect things from old Solve Unamusement and new stuff as well.

We shall start things off with a little MC Chris and Hoodie Ninja.

Learny Tunes

Anyone catch the pun in that title? Today we shall talk and share cartoons that teach you something. However, these wont be of the Loony Tune variety and fit more along the lines of Rocko's Modern Life.

The most obvious of choices is Histeria! and we'll start there before slowly working our way to Pinky and the Brain and some Animaniacs.

Metronomy

This has been sitting in my bookmark for almost a year now. Just sitting there collecting internet dust and going nowhere. So here it is for no reason other than it was starting to irritate me in not being posted.

Flash Game Roundup

Just a quick flash game round up of the random flash games I've been collecting over the last few months. Sadly only a few make the list.

Red Remover - It's cute and it's fun. Yeah, cute get over it! A technically simple puzzle game.

Splitter 2 - Eh, I do not remember. That's right, I don't remember at all what this game is about. It was bookmarked for blog posting so can't be horrible.

The Great House Escape - A point and click adventure game that links several other "The Great ____ Escape" games. Each game has a walkthrough in case you can't/won't figure things out by yourself.

Brain Safari - Keep your mind active. It is a fun, and another cute, game. You count animals and blah blah blah, it was amusing so shut up and go play it already.

Ghosts Revenge - A find the difference game. Yes, that's all it is BUT the story is freaking great! I loved the story so much that I actually played this stupid find it game twice. The music is crazy good for a flash game too. Perfectly morbid but not morbidly irritating.

Doodle God - This game is so hard! That's right, difficult, well at least to me. Maybe it will come easier to others but most will need to find and/or use a walkthrough.

A Fractured Leghorn

Just a quick continuation from the other day to include the best Foghorn Leghorn cartoon of all time.

Foghorn, I say, Foghorn Leghorn

Alright boy, now listen up when I'm talkin' to ya. Foghorn, I say, Foghorn Leghorn is one of the funniest of all the Loony Tunes and one can not deny that the best parts of his cartoons are, indeed, his rants. So much so that -look at me when I'm talkin' to ya boy- so much so that a youtube user has actually mix-mashed a bunch of said rants together into one giant video.

Unfortunately for us all, the rants aren't funny without the context surrounding them and things get stale fast. However what we can enjoy is one of my first introductions into everything that was Foghorn. Shown one Saturday morning long, long ago when I was but a pj-wearing elementary school kid.

tgchan

The above letters might seem like just a jumble of words to most, as was the case with myself when presented with it, but what lies underneath is a plethora of Interactive Fiction. Beforehand there was one post (linked just a moment ago) about Interactive Fiction and that was it. This is all because Interactive Fiction, personally, tends to be hit-and-miss.

This is all fixed for anyone who really wants to get into IF by being a whole DM/GM ran games. Each IF is ran by individual people meaning that your options are not pre-programed and/or limiting. This makes for a real experience to be had.

Magic in Morowind

So lets get this out of the way, right now. Yes, Solve Unamusement (more specifically it's writer) has a total nerd crush on the game Morrowind and the world it presents. Why? Because of the bang for your buck and the pure involvement of the world. An older game with hundreds and hundreds of replay value for only $20 that plays on most systems (even older ones).

Now for the bad part. Don't try magic. The game doesn't like magic in the default form so much so that some people have gone as far as modding the game to make magic users more friendly. In the current state of things, Morowind just doesn't really offer enough magic without changing your gameplay style.

However changing your gameplay style might be totally worth it if you are an experienced player. Create a custom class and try to wing it or try a slightly horrible build I did myself. That's what this post is about, for you Morrowind and RPG players. Check out my character builds!

On Live

Talk about On Live for a quick post.

Personally, I'm debating the total value of the service. Granted you don't need a high powered PC to play the "newest releases" but you do need a bit more cash than they imply. A monthly service AND the price for paying for the individual games. A good start, On Live, but unless we're talking in the $10 mark for new titles with a monthly payment of $5, I'll stick to waiting six years and buying old games.

If the thing is cheaper than it seems to be than maybe it is worth a look. Solve Unamusement is all about cheap and/or free amusements but, right now, On Live is a difficult horse to sallow. Beta testing for those involved (not this writer) so anyone with thoughts are free to add them regardless.

5 Days a Stranger

Adventure games are fun and easy ways (provided you've a walk through) to pad a Backloggery score. Or they are interesting story telling events with minimal player involvment beyond using your brain and wasting time. Two Solve Unamusement favorites!

From the dude who brought you Zero Punctuation (Another Solve Unamusement favorite for the gamer who's bored of playing games but still wants to waste time) here comes Five Days a Stranger. A great, but short, story about a muder mystery and occult followings.

Other work from, Fully Ramblomatic if you are interested and a walk through of 5 Days a Stranger if you are like me and suck at point and click adventure games.

There you have it. Now have fun and go away while I, personally, go watch a bunch of Zero Puncuation and avoid my PS2.
