Fun links today, kiddies.

Alright, so I understand while my last batch of links might have been fun to me, it was very politically charged. So here I give you links which require no thinking and are just mindless fun.

NetDisaster
NetDisaster. Wow. Basically, you type in the URL of a site you would like to punish or otherwise maim. It then gives you an extensive list of things you can do to the site. One of my personal favorites is The Text Sucker Machine, which gets rid of all of the text on the webpage. The most amusing bit it watching the page's text fly through the Machine's huge tube! Another setting is Scribbling Baby, and I bet you can just imagine the outcome of that one.

Windows RG
This is hilarious, even for people who love their Windows as a first child. Basically it is an interactive flash of a new version of Windows, called Windows RG---Really Good edition. It then presents you with a desktop and a start menu from which to wreak havoc. If you enter Microsoft Word, you can start typing, until Clippy interjects and tells you that it doesn't look like you're writing a letter. He then suggests how to write a letter. "You should start with a word like MILK. And sponge. I like sponges!" afterwards, you get an alert that states Clippy has performed some illegal operations and will now be shot. Then, Word gets arrested for performing an illegal operation (shooting a paperclip) and for that reason, closed. Two words: click everything!

Classic 80's Games
An amazing compilation of various early 80's games such as Duck Hunt, Asteroids, Frogger, Ms. Pacman, Simon and many others! Most of the games come in Shockwave or Java versions for online play but some also are available in a downloadable format for offline gaming. Remember the good old days with the help of this site. And for you creations of the 90's, get a taste for what TRUE gaming is.

ASCII Generator
Reminds me of whenever I would see those amazing headers on .txt game walkthroughs and I never knew how they did it. Now you can make your own ASCII picture-words too! Simply type in the word(s), pick a font and voila! You've got your own 3D-looking ASCII. Pretty cool, huh?

Throw Rocks at Boys
...I don't know why this is fun. Go through several stages where you have one goal: to throw rocks at boys! Underwater, in a field (don't hit the happy prancing deer), hanging from a balloon...yup. Great stress reliever.

The US Government Has a New Site
This cracks me up beyond mention. Basically, it states that the US government has a new website that details what to do to be safe from terrorist attacks and other dangers, however, the pictures they use to depict these actions are so vague that they could mean anything. So, the creator of this page took it upon him/herself to decipher the meanings. For example:

If you are sprayed with an unknown substance, stand and think about a cool design for a new tattoo.

also:

If you spot a terrorist arrow, pin it against the wall with your shoulder.

Hilarity ensues.
