Mushroom Farm Defender

Anyone that follows my twitter knows that there is still a search for a free, downloadable tower defense game. There are literally THOUSANDS of flash ones, so here is one of those flash ones that is very amusing.

Mushroom Farm Defender is a tower defense game about garden gnomes, uber insects and cacti. The controls are very simply point-and-click, with easy to tell tower (gnome) distances and power by simply looking at the screen without really needing to read much of anything.

I'll note, personally, you can beat most games with the cacti and cacti alone, provided you place them correctly, but its a fun flash game about tower defenses.

Egyptian Earth

Earth Day...

...passed some time ago but that doesn't mean we can't do green type things all year long. Green things like Blog Action Day which I personally phoned in with some nonsense. Surprising no one called me on that one. Back to the topic at hand, which is somewhat about Earth Day but not really.

Things to do that are green in nature. There are the obvious things like poking the internet as that produces a minimal amount of hazardous waste, I think. Anyway, green type amusements, maybe.

Firstly we should all know how to sing and dance. What that has to do with Earth Day escapes me but that's a note which is being mentioned. Sing and dance! Lets use a wooden flute so it is more green and for shits and giggles lets play something Egyptian.

Internet Argumentation

The internet is a place to argue and look like a jackass or an asshole respectively. It all comes down to a few standard behaviors and understandings. When "debating" about religion, politics or even how your favorite site has "to many noobs", it all boils down to a few simple arguments.

What arguments? Well you live under a rock, it seems. However, if you insist, I'll help you out with an interesting comic that was directed toward me not to long ago.

Half Life 2 Randomness

There is this thing about the internet. You see, it is filled with random stuff and sometimes that stuff is really good but usually that is not the case. Once in awhile you get something that is both really good and not so much, at the same time. This is a true oddity among the internet noise that is, well, the internet noise.

Take one part Garry's Mod with two parts random and one part of armature Robot Chicken and you've got yourself a good idea of what to expect from the rest of this post, or at least the suggested amusements.

Cleaning The ReBoot

Found some dust bunnies! Not literally, of course, did Solve Unamusement have dust enough to be alive and shouting profanity. So upon cleaning the left overs that was that horrible pile of bookmarked items that went on forever and took a long while to compile, there was stuff worth mentioning separately.

One of those items was a cartoon from my mid-teens-ish. It played on Cartoon Network after school from around my sixth grade year until ninth or tenth. That's a good run time for a cartoon, when it actually has a plot. That's right, one of the first Saturday Morning Cartoons posted that had a running and working plot. Though if it was stated this plot involved a mainframe, incoming game warnings and the literal word "Reboot", you might already get whats going on.

Reboot!

Cleaning House

It is springtime, sorta-kinda, and as such it is time to clean house. Though the writer of Solve Unamusement isn't much for cleaning-cleaning as there is little reward for it (at least with current residences), however bookmarking amusements can get so cluttering so fast.

So today is a list, a long list at that, of random things that do not go together in any manner beyond being a possible amusement. Most of these things were stumbled upon randomly, linked to by friends or otherwise poked via the internet and done nothing about. Time to clean house, I say.

I am NOT an Asshole!

Those of you who read Solve Unamusement on a regular type of basis may or may not feel that the writer of this blog is a little bit of an asshole. Those whom speak to me, actually speak with me or use an instant messenger client, might think this as well. I am here, now, to clear up this little misunderstanding.

Posts like this, labels like this and most (if not all) of Blog News might give off the wrong impression. If anything, folks, I'm a nerd more than anything. Posts about video games, Yu-Gi-Oh and old cartoons is proof of this.

However, if we sill insist on the whole "Asshole thing", lets look into it further.

The Rapage Continues.. AGAIN!

A good time ago there were two posts here, on Solve Unamusement, about songs that might or might not get stuck in your head and/or annoy you for days on end. Those two posts, if you wish to see them, were cleverly named Silly Song Rampage and Continuing The Rampage (Silly Songs 2). to keep with the theme of these posts, and to add another odd little random bit to Solve Unamusement, we shall continue this for today.

For this day, there are three songs given. Only three songs, yet they will pop into your head after years of never hearing them only to torment your soul until you finally give in (as I have done). Some might even find these songs good, and I honestly do, but they will haunt your life for the next week or so, I promise.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Most Awesomest Thing Ever

You see two items before you and between these two items you must pick which one is the most awesome. Then, you are given two more items which you are to pick what is INDEED the most awesome.

A simple flash based game, I guess, where you point and click. The idea is rather simple and is stated in the game/website's title. At the end of it all, the site's job is to finally find what is THE MOST AWESOMEST THING EVER.

Sometimes you get totally random and odd groupings, like the SNES vs Soup and other times flatulence vs cheese, which was just too funny. The site takes Wikipedia images as its source and has links to anything you might not know to well, or at all "What is this?".

Let us all also thank AOTS for finding this internet gem and reporting. Truly they are the source of all media we must know. Watch AOTS Monday - Friday at 7 PM EST.

Aladdin (Sega Genesis)

It is as Wiki has said, the SNES version of Aladdin and the Genesis version are vastly different. And to cut it quick and simple, the Genesis version is better if not a lot more difficult and unforgiving.

The differences between the two games are quickly apparent when you have played both of them so close to one another. The similarities, beyond the story and the fact they are platformers, are also very obvious. Lets check out both, differences and similarities as seen, by Solve Unamusement.

First thing anyone will notice after booting up the game is that Aladdin has a sword, a scimitar to be exact. However, the apples will hit enemies from afar and are always in plenty so don't be afraid to use them. The game is still short, like the one for the SNES, but it is also noticeably longer. The music for both games were obviously very similar, as well, though one of the two smash the other to no end in comparison. One bit point, gems in the Genesis version actually had a point to them. Gems were used to buy extra levels as well as "Genni Wishes" or "Continues" as one might call them.

Lets break this down a little.

Fusion (Sega Emulator)

Some may or may not know that while this writer is a very obvious Nintendo fanboy that some Sega games are enjoyed. One Sega game which is fully enjoyed has always been PSO but that's not today's point.

Today we speak of the only Sega based emulator on your Solve Unamusement writer's PC. That emulator being the Fusion

Aladdin zSNES

Short, simple, amusing platforming and moderately okay controls equal up to a short and fun gaming type of experience. Firstly, lets get that big SNES mark up, out of the way.

Wiki Says:

Disney's Aladdin is a video game based on the 1992 motion picture of the same name. Unlike some cross-platform games of both then and now, the five versions (Sega Mega Drive, Super NES, Sega Master System/Sega Game Gear, Game Boy and NES) are each different games.

That is why this is being specifically pointed out as the SNES version, the "Z" is simply the emulator I use to play SNES games (ZSNES). Mainly as that is the only version which was played, personally. Clearly the games are not exactly ported to every system at the time, either. So, again, this is a look at only the SNES version. The easiest way to share the game without actually sharing is to provide a video walkthrough.
