Also...

Keeping on the subject, I hope some of you saw the Glastonbury music festival, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Some great bands played, like The Automatic, The Kaiser Chiefs and The Arctic Monkeys. It's strange how you hardly ever get to see what musicians look like, isn't it? I was surprised what some of those people actually looked like. So anyway, I saw this strange band, called Gogol Bordello playing. At first, I thought they were from East Europe, perhaps, but it turns out they're from New York. They called themselves Gypsy Punks, which was a little unnerving at first. But in the end, one of their songs started to grow on me, and someone I knew bought it for me. It's called Start Wearing Purple (yes I know, strange). I suggest you buy it now!

Great Song, Great Video

Yeah, so I was just looking around YouTube, seeing as there had been the launch of YouTube UK - I can't say it's that impressive, it's really just UK slapped onto the name of YouTube, really, except that this is supposed to be just for us Brits. So anyway, I found this great video of F1 Crashes, (don't worry, there's no gore, or blood in it, just some great crashes. The main thing that stood out though, was the absolutely brilliant music. It was actually featured on a retro game for the PlayStation 1 (yes, a very long time ago, I know) game called Tunnel Runner. So the music is called Keep Hope Alive by Crystal Method. I just love the song, for some reason, so I bought it off iTunes. And, without any further ado, here's the video:

Wow...

I really hadn't noticed how long it has really been since a last posted (on this blog, not CSSBytes of course). And, as well as that, I don't really have much to say. I've been searching the internet for the next top gaming site. What could it possibly be? There are so many great ones out there. Post coming soon. Well, goodbye for now, I assume.




But... in case you haven't noticed, the blog has a new domain name! Now, it's the AllTheThingsILike blog, instead of that old, fairly ugly one. xP

My Top Gaming Sites - Egg2




Sorry I haven't been able to post much lately. I've just been wrestling with a bug on Wordpress, for CSSBytes, and generally haven't had much time to write this post. But anyway, it's here now, so enjoy:


Egg2
, is the next featured gaming site. It does have quite a large variety of games, some of them my favourites. What's more, you don't have to click millions of links just to find one game, like you do on most other sites. On the other hand, the layout (especially the homepage) is pretty messy, and split up by adverts. Also, the site doesn't particularly inform you about whether they have added new games or not. So overall, it is a good site, but probably the worst out of these featured sites. Here are two games that particularly stand out for me:


Tanks:
Tanks. As you'd expect, it involves tanks. Basically, you can set up rounds with 2-5 Tanks, all armed with weapons, that are basically supposed to blow each other to bits. The Tanks are named by you, and given a colour by you. You can also decide whether any of the players are computer controlled or not. This game is really fun, and quite retro too. I have no violence, or anything like that to warn you about, except for animated explosions. This is a link to it. There is actually a second version of this game, but to be honest, all it has really done is add some nicer graphics.


Bug On a Wire
Here is another retro game, that is still fun to play. The idea is, that you play a bug, running across the wires on those communication pole things, somewhere very hot. You need to avoid crows, and anything that might try and eat you. This is a great game to consume some spare time that you have. And for some reason, it never seems to become tedious. Usually, I can only survive for up to a minute and a half or so, but others can survive for over and hour! Click here to try and beat my score. Have fun playing on Egg2!
