Yesterday our story ended with Aiglos downloading some l337 f1451-1 64/\/\32 from Newgrounds. Now, I’ve had a serious love-hate relationship with NG throughout my career on the interwebs. I’ve used it to market my music, because there’s a really strong audio community there, but at the same time…jesus, there are so many idiots on that site. Newgrounds is to annoying 13 year old emo kids what a candle flame is to moths. They just go around in circles, going faster and faster, until they melt into a burnt, smoking combined carcass of “photoshop me” requests and “lol fgt” spam. It’s not pretty, though it’s pretty entertaining if you take a step back. However, that’s not my main concern at this point. My main concern is that it takes me five minutes to load the front page.

After beating my head against the table for a while, I finally got to the good stuff, and I picked out a good selection, used my l33t h4x to find the urls, and went off to work for eight hours while they downloaded (for the record, they were almost all complete when I got back…almost).

I have to recommend a couple of these games, even to all the whores with broadband out there…you bastards. First of all, Darkcut2, by jmtb02, is freaking insane, though short. You know that Trauma Center game for DS and Wii? Imagine that, taking place during the American Civil War, with lots of blood, puss, maggots, and whiskey. Fuck yes. Highly recommended, if only for the spectacle. Graphics are sweet, too.

Secondly, I have to give some love to the maker of The Impossible Quiz 1 & 2. Yes, it’s a quiz, which means automatic fail. BUT. Does anyone remember You Don’t Know Jack? I was addicted to that shit for a while, and these games are like YDKJ on cocaine. And crack. And LSD. All at once.

Finally, anyone who’s got their PS3 online may have heard about flOw, which is supposedly one of the first games that was made available via download for PS3. Originally it was a PC flash game, and it was free. It is so kickass, words can’t even describe it. It makes me feel sophisticated. I’m sitting here playing it, listening to my “String Quartet Tribute to Radiohead” album, sipping some Earl Grey, and feeling basically superior to everyone and their mom. Seriously, I’m not even going to try to do it justice. Go play it right now.

Flash games get boring fast, though. I’m gonna have to look for new entertainment today. I have an idea, but I’m a little scared…ah, fuck it. It’ll be hilarious.

Aiglos’ Bogus Journey is ready to begin. I’m going….to Furcadia.

May god have mercy on my soul.
