Where have you been?

The trebuchet game was covered extensively here a few months ago...

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Not much of a time-waster.  It was too easy to beat.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Yes. To make it more interesting, I tried to go through and see which ones I could do with just one device.  I did 19/20 with just one.  It seems that #5 is too well constructed and needs two.

That wasn't really fun at all. Even though kittens can be evil little biters and fighters they usually grow up to be good cats. Alot of kittens are cute too. If the game had dogs or especially deer it would be awesome.

Not the most fun but awesomely politically incorrect.

What the hell? I beat it quickly too, but not with only one bomb. Were you trained in EOD by any chance, or do you just know alot about architecture?

lol. No, it actually (somehow) turns out easier to use one device. The ones that can't be done clearly with one seem to topple more easily by just pushing over the top and letting gravity do the work.

If you complete the trebuchet game and then go back through it you will have all the stones and bombs to start with.  It's kind of fun to blow up the lower level castles with the 3 bomb payload.  =D

Back in the 90's I had a game that was basically a skeet shooting game with cats, complete with sound effects and some visuals.  It was pretty funny, but it stopped working with new Windows versions.  I have no idea if it is still around.

It is. I think I have it bookmarked at home. Two of them, actually.
