Oblivious Daze

Gun Run is a simple shooting game. You're running and shooting robots that are on the ground or in the sky. The controls are easy. Use the left mouse button to shoot and move the mouse to aim. A and D moves left and right. In order to jump, press W or the space bar. If you want to double-jump, press the jump button twice. Look in the sky for round sprockets.. they will give you extra lives or blow up all the robots on your screen. This is one fun little game.

Jesus Bumper

Julio Radillo from Laredo, TX has a dirt image that he thinks looks like Jesus. The image on his truck's tailgate has brought 150 people to see it. The owner has decided not to drive his car for awhile. When he does eventually drive, he will keep the tailgate as a memento. It looks more like Jimi Hendrix to me. Source: The Buzz Page

Fish in a bottle

Jones Soda, a Seattle based company, is offering a salmon-flavored soda. They had two seasons with great success with their turkey and gravy flavored sodas. The smell actually has a smoked salmon aroma. The soda will be offered in Seattle, Washington in a holday pack. The pack will offer other weird sodas like turkey & gravy, corn on the cob and pecan pie. Jones Soda will be selling a holiday pack across the US with different sodas like turkey and gravy, pumpkin pie, brussel sprouts and cranberry. Source: Yahoo! News
I talked about the turkey and gravy soda last year. It's another product that you want to try, but may regret later.. just like the Harry Potter Jelly Belly assortment. It's painful sometimes because it tastes so bad.

Fast Trivia

No Brainer is a fast paced trivia game. It's not your normal kind of trivia game either. It will ask things like Things That have Metal in them. It will give you different words and you move your mouse up to say yes or side to side to say no. You gotta be quick! If you get three wrong, your brain blows up and the game is over. It's fun and silly.

Crazy Shootin'

Alien X is a great first shooter game. There's been some bad things going on in this research station and you're here to kill all the robots, animals and monsters. This is a fun game with three levels. It's very easy to learn. The default keys are w to go forward, s to go backwards, a to go left and d to go right. It's great that you can configure the keys the way you want it. The mouse is used to look around and aim and to fire use the left mouse button. The space bar is used to jump. C is used for crouch, R to change your weapon and Escape is used to go to the menu or pause the game.
It's a great option to be able to save. This is definately one of the better web versions of a shooter game.
