Eegra picks Game Makin' Shindig winners
You might remember a few months ago when Eegra.com put out the call for newly-designed games for their 1st Annual Game Makin' Shindig. Now, the winners have been announced, thousands of dollars in prizes have been handed out and you, the home audience, have a boatload of new games to download and enjoy, all based around this year's central theme of "Color."Taking the top spot is Go Beryllium, a "quantum-electrodynamical endurance shooter," but we like to think that the real winners are you and us, who get to have fun with games without paying for them, the way God and Shawn Fanning intended.
Everyone hates the zigzag
Not familiar with Eegra's Hilarity Comics? We're definitely fans, and this week's strip doesn't disappoint. Yes, everyone loves the long block in Tetris. Not only does the line help you rack up points, but it's also probably gotten you out of some jams. But the zigzag? That piece is a heartbreaker, and arguably the most loathed block in Tetris.Check after the break to see the rest of the comic.
Eegra hosting 1st Annual Game Makin' Shindig
You may not know this about us (only our closest loved ones do) but we love Eegra.com. It's not exactly newsworthy very often (which is why you don't see us linking to it more) but it's always a great read. So we were delighted to see they were doing something we could pass on to you: Their 1st Annual Game Makin' Shindig.They're asking contestants to create their own games based around the theme of "Color" (actually, they say "Colour," but we're guessing it's a code). For their efforts, the best entrants will receive some folding cash and the bragging rights of being the best game designer that lives in their house (not applicable if you live in Ken Levine's basement). Your inevitable questions are likely answered in this FAQ. If any of our dear readers want to try their hand, we wish them all the best and hey, try including a quick-time event. People love that stuff.
