Skiddoo: I think I'll go to the barber.
Corn Pone: What for? It's not like you've got any hair to speak of.

Sk: Sure I do.
CP: You need your head checked. You're living in a fantasy world Skiddoo.

Sk: Humph!
CP: Going to the barbershop would be useful to you if they still performed surgery.

Two Bits

A quarter for your thoughts. Whenever I’m reminded that during medieval times, barbers performed surgery on customers as well as tooth extractions, I get a little skittish. I would have opted to stay home and have my mom cut my hair rather than going to the barbershop and get an accidental lobotomy. What do you think?

First-Person Tetris

First-Person Tetris gives a dizzying twist on the classic puzzler.

In First-Person Tetris, the simple act of rotating a block actually rotates the entire screen, shifting your perspective 90 degrees. Yup, it’s played just like regular Tetris except, instead of the pieces rotating, it’s your view. It’s a fun perspective of fun game.

Oregon Trail

Oregon Trail is an educational game made to make students realize failure is a part of life.

Life ain’t easy and life on the Oregon Trail ain’t any easier. If you went to grade school in the last 30 years, perhaps you were lucky enough to play this educational game and learn all about the hardships of life. In the game, you assume the role of a wagon leader guiding your party of settlers from Independence, Missouri, to Oregon’s Willamette Valley by way of the Oregon Trail via a Conestoga wagon in 1848. Be sure you pick up plenty of supplies at the general store before you head out. (Don’t worry, you’ll lose most of it later.) If you manage to not get measles, snakebites, dysentery, typhoid, cholera, exhaustion, and diarrhea, you might just drown crossing the river. Good luck!

Play Oregon Trail and relive the feeling of dysentery and perhaps loose an oxen or two. The breathtaking ASCII landmarks are reason enough to play.
