Woot : One Day, One Deal (SM)

Maybe you really like playing dress up. Maybe you're just a huge fan of his work. Maybe you're satisfying some bizarre curiosity we won't dare question for fear of violent reprisal. Whatever your reason, we're not going to judge you for playing Super Dress Up Morgan Freeman.

Use the "Hints" button to find out just which outfits you should be coordinating. Then dress ol' Red up in the most flattering evening wear we've ever seen the dapperest of dapper gentelmen wear. Yeah, there's not necessarily a lot of replayability. Yeah, it's basically just a Morgan Freeman paper doll.

But then again, there's this:

 

And some things, dear reader, are just worth it.

The Holidays can be depressing. Spread some (chemically-enhanced) cheer with Pill Cannon, a sorta puzzle game centering on antidepressants, suicides, and delightfully roguish robots.

You've got one arm, and a cannon that shoots antidepressants. Sort of like your therapist with a t-shirt cannon at a hockey game. While you dream of electric sheep there are people in windows freaking out and ready to end it all. You've got to forcibly administer some Prozac at 850 ft./second.

Oh, and before you decide to just let the big babies make the biggest mistake of their lives, you were hired by the tombstone lobby because apparently there's a shortage of granite and marble. So let too many cries for attention go unheeded and you'll have to start over.

The holidays are over. Santa Claus has a full year until Crunch Night. So, like an accountant in late April, Santa's ready to take some time off. But what does a workaholic like St. Nick do with his free time, anyway? Why, he fights the naughty! What else?

Santa Fu is a side-scrolling post-Christmas time killer that's perfect for a day like today, when you're either at home, feeling bored with all your presents, or at work, feeling bored that you're the only one who didn't think to take the week off. Remember, there's only 362 Butt-Kicking days left until Christmas.

So many flash designers only focus on challenging gameplay, rather than challenging what it means to play a game. A Walk In The Park, on the other hand, makes you really think about what's going on.

 

 

You're playing a tiny little dog, out for a walk with its owner, a gentle sort of fellow who is also in a wheelchair. As you leap, run, bark and occasionally fly, your master calmly follows behind you. The longer you play, the more you begin to ask yourself questions. Is it cruel? Is it empowering? Or is it just the story of two friends playing the hand they've been dealt and enjoying a lovely, sunny day together? You'll have to make your own decisions on what this game actually "means", but it's certainly a platformer worth playing.

Oh crap oh crap oh crap, I KNEW I shouldn't have put the Flash game post off until the last minute. Okay, time to concentrate. Forget about all the other write-ups and think. THINK, dang it.

Ok, so the screenshot isn't all that exciting and, technically, it's not a flash game, but if you fondly remember all those misspent nights of your youth in the glow of a monochrome screen as you attempted to evade the slathering fangs of a lurking grue, Violet should be right up your alley.

Violet is a text-based distraction about the distractions keeping you from finishing your all important dissertation by the end of the day. Fail, and your utterly charming narrator girlfriend is hoping on the next plane out of town and out of your life. Her voice will be your guide as you attempt to use all the tools you have in your one room office (no N, W, E, or S here) in some pretty inventive ways to stop procrastinating and get home to her before she leaves you forever. Just hit the Space Bar at the opening screen and type ABOUT to get started.

Whew. That was close. Now then, on to the next WHOA DID ONE OF THE VENDORS BRING US FLAVORED POPCORN?! I'm sure these write-ups can wait just a little while longer...

What if you woke up, and you were a sea monster? How would that make you feel? Well, if your answer is "chatty and emo", you'll probably identify with The Majesty Of Colors, a sweet little game that takes only seconds to play, but a lifetime to defeat.

As a balloon-loving sea monster with a heart of gold, you'll get a chance to interact with humans. You can give them fish, or drown them, or hand their children to the hungry sharks. Your actions will determine which of the five endings you'll be getting, so if you feel like fighting the Navy, start drowning people right away. Also we feel obligated to give you this one tiny spoiler: it's all just a dream. That's right, this video game isn't even real. So don't feel guilty, just whip out the tentacle and throw those torpedoes right back into their smug monkey faces.

At the time, Jackson Pollock's splatters were original, innovative, and changed the world of art. Now his work is known everywhere, but he's passed on. That's right, he's dead. And who's going to take his place as senior splatterer of note? Well, if you're looking to try for the job, start at jacksonpollock.org.

Here, instead of some boring site that's just writings about the artist and blah blah blah yawn zzz you'll find a nifty little flash game that lets you paint with your mouse. Drag to make a line, click to change colors. And remember, after you die, each one of your creations could sell for literally millions of dollars.

If your moon was only about ten gears away, you'd probably think NASA was a poor investment as well. And without all those discoveries that came from our space program? Well, you'd still be living in a weirdly beautiful world that looked a bit like 1908. And that's the world of Fly Me To The Moon.

As a little mouse, you want to find your way to the moon over and over again. The cooler you are, the more fans you'll gather (and it's a pretty boring future, so that's not hard). But watch that red bar on the side. Because the higher it gets, that harder it'll be to reach that moon. And the more you spin those wheels, the higher the bar gets. See? Rocket science is hard!

Indiana Jones was once the greatest thing the world ever knew. That changed. If you still haven't come to terms with the anger involved with that, consider a few minutes of Guardian Rock.

You play a rock. A magical, scowling rock empowered to protect a series of temples by crushing an endless series of archeologist/adventurers and sending them to a wide-eyed terrified death.

And maybe, when you're done, the healing can begin.
