One of the wombats escaped from the dungeon and bashed through the foundations, causing major structural damage. It's OK though, he only wanted to pop down to the shops to get some more biscuits, so its understandable. We don't begrudge the huge construction bill and the weeks of inconvenience of having the builders create noise and dust, because let's face it, biscuits are important. 2010-02-19T00:00 http://www.funjunkie.co.uk/index.cfm#a492b3ed-b677-4683-830e-cf404b7c1204 Today's FJ Friday Game? is called Rotato, and not in fact, potato, as I originally thought. Which is a shame really, because its almost National Chip Week, and that would have tied in nicely. But Rotato has got nothing to do with potatoes. Or chips. Or even crisps for that matter. But what the heck, you can't have everything, right? 2010-02-05T00:00 http://www.funjunkie.co.uk/index.cfm#f5637319-337d-4ee0-84d4-2291ecb45bb2 Yo, word up homies! It's friday, and its time for your FJ Friday Game? fix! Today you'll be playing a game called Pulsus, "a game of particles". Don't worry, you won't have to dredge up the knowledge gained during your GCSE Physics course, it's all about placing balls in the right position. Just like when you put your pants on in the morning. Unless you're BeccaG of course. 2010-01-29T00:00 http://www.funjunkie.co.uk/index.cfm#96622942-18b0-4537-b562-703412551d7b If you haven't had a headache recently, then today's your lucky day! First Person Tetris comes with a guarantee that your head will be bursting at the seams in seconds! Don't be tricked into thinking that this is like normal Tetris, oh no. This is Tetris in first person. Which basically means, its exactly the same as normal Tetris, but it'll have your head bursting at the seams in seconds. Did I just say that already? Damn, is that bits of my brain on the keyboard? Thanks ...I think, Xavier 2010-01-22T00:00 http://www.funjunkie.co.uk/index.cfm#88a1871a-c414-43db-8f43-bffaa19af8c6 Oh it's been a while. Why I hear you ask. (Along with someone muttering "Who gives a fuck?" in the back, don't think we can't hear you.) Well, obviously, apart from Reg who was born in the freezer section of Beejam the rest of us at Funjunkie Towers often retire to the south for the winter. Now the snow is thawing it's time for us to return. But the increase in modern day air traffic make it harder each year. We're still getting over the embarrassment of when BeccaG took out the Hudson River plane on the way back last year. Hopefull you'll have more luck with it. Good luck loosey goosey. 2010-01-17T00:00 http://www.funjunkie.co.uk/index.cfm#bc499f7b-0ae9-4601-8f20-95252762493e It's a grey old day out there, and you're probably feeling like a cog in a giant machine, grinding away at the same old tedious stuff. So when I suggest you play a game called Grayscale, which has no colour in it at all, and it based around grinding cogs in a machine, you might understandably be put off. But don't be. It's jolly good. And it might actually get your brain into gear, at last. 2010-01-13T00:00 http://www.funjunkie.co.uk/index.cfm#ebf65a46-48b2-467c-999f-0558989ba176 Where is 2010? Blimey guv'nor! If you haven't found it yet, then you must have had a drop too much to drink on new year's eve! And knowing you, I bet that's the case. You're probably still nursing a sore head in a ditch somewhere. Wearing a pink tutu that you "borrowed" off another party goer. Just pray that the snaps of you and SillyBoy doing that "thing" together never surface on the internet. Unless people have to pay for the privelege. In which case, you could already be fabulously wealthy. Or at least have enough for a bus ride home, and a packet of cheesy Quavers to keep your hunger pangs at bay. Am I still typing? 2010-01-05T00:00 http://www.funjunkie.co.uk/index.cfm#61963caf-4f91-4be0-940f-fea19efc0849 Its the first Monday in January, so that can only mean one thing... yes, that's right! It's the most depressing day of the year! The fun and festivities are well and truly over*, and now its back to the grindstone again! Hip Hip Hooray! To try and get you through this emotional time, we've got a terrific game for you. It's another sequel to one of the first (and best) games of last year. Ladies and gents, I present to you Ice Breaker: The Gathering. It's hardly a bottle of gin, but hopefully it'll be some consolation. *Happy New Year, by the way 2010-01-04T00:00 http://www.funjunkie.co.uk/index.cfm#ba1f6ddd-4178-45cc-97e4-e1d9028f5f4a So this is Christmas? Well, not quite, but we?re almost there. Here at Funjunkie Towers, the shutters are being? shut, the comedy python draft excluders have been laid down by the portcullis, and the blinds are being drawn-to. But just before we finally close down for the year, here?s one last game to keep you amused over the holidays. Don?t be put off by the graphics* of Continuity, underneath lies a clever little game. And anyway, we like to think of the aesthetic as a bit of an enema to the glitz and glamour of everything else that?s going on right now. *No, that?s not a screenshot on the right. That?s santa?s new helper. Right, one last check of the biscuit tin, just to make sure there are no solitary cookies in there. Last year, one was left which went a bit mouldy, started to evolve and ended up tearing a rip in the space-time continuum and letting a herd** of lazer-dinosaurs loose in the basement. Again. **I?m not sure ?herd? is the correct collective noun for lazer-dinosaurs. Maybe it should be something like ?slash?? If you have any better ideas, stick ?em in the comments box Anyway, Merry Christmas to you all, and providing we wake up from extended hibernation, catch you in the new year, bye! 2009-12-22T00:00 http://www.funjunkie.co.uk/index.cfm#59f01161-67c9-4322-b463-e78065da3da5 If you haven't broken up for Christmas yet, and you're stuck behind a desk, here's a slice of adventure to brighten up your day. Level up! gives you the chance to run about like bonkers and... level up a lot. It's nothing to do with xmas, so it won't remind you that everyone else has already had their fill of playing in the snow and now they're watching shit films on the telly while stuffing their faces with mince pies and swilling sherry. Which is nice, 'coz I bet you'd rather be doing that, rather than being deskbound, innit? 2009-12-21T00:00
