My Top Gaming Sites - Miniclip

This is the last of my top gaming sites, and it has actually been voted the best online gaming website on the internet. Although, I wouldn't say it was my favorite of the top gaming sites (although it would be either Miniclip, or AddictingGames.com). Here we go.

Miniclip has a very large variety of Games, all very well organized into categories, like on most gaming sites. The homepage is fairly well set out, showing off the newest games on the site quite clearly, with interesting flash animations, that loop between the three newest games. One of my favourite features on the site, is a list of all of their games, at the bottom of each page. You can choose to hide this if you do not want it. It's a quick way to find the game you want.

Probably my favourite bit of the site, is that with every game, it has simple instructions on how to play it. It shows you the controls, with small pictures of the keys you need to press as well, which some other sites do, but it also tells you the objective of the game, which at times, can be very, very useful.

Miniclip does allow you to embed some of their games on your own website, giving you the code and all, but unfortunately, most of these are the older games, which aren't necessarily the ones you want on your website. Nonetheless, below, is a game I particularly like, called smashing. The aim of the game is to break all of the boxes on each level. There are power-ups to collect and such, too. Move your mouse to control the paddle, and click, to release weapons gained from power-ups, if you get the right ones. Good luck!

HIRO CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER?

Ok, so this post is just a quick thing, about two of my favorite things, one on the internet, one on TV. Heroes - the brilliant show that's already been shown in America, but is now being shown in the UK, on the BBC - I'm loving it! No spoilers please... x( And then, there's the I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER? funny blog with lolcats. So anyway, here's a funny picture of the two combined, which I got from SOTI.

Another Short Break

I'll make this quick. Basically, I'm going on another short break, from Thursday to Wednesday, so don't expect any updates in that short period. I may write a new post on the Wednesday I'm back, on either CSSBytes, or here, but that is not definite. If you
are interested, I'll be going to Plymouth in that time. I'm not sure what I will do there, though. x3 So anyway, bye for now.

Summer Break Goals Update

Now, on CSSBytes, I've finished the body section, which is one of my six targets that I wish to complete in my summer break. Hurray! CSSBytes is now nearly reaching 1000 hits, too.

As for the stuff on Neopets, I have now nearly coded three out of four petpages, but I am unsure about whether I'll complete that target or not. :( Also, I have roughly collected half the funds for the Secreat Lab Map, so that looks doubtful too. :(

I finished Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows ages ago, to be honest. I really enjoyed it, great book, but not perfect, and probably not the best Harry Potter book so far, but it's up there. As for the Northern Lights, I've nearly finished that as well.

And finally, I would say that I have enjoyed my Summer Break quite a lot so far. I still have a couple more weeks of it, so hopefully I can enjoy them too. I hope you enjoy (or have enjoyed) your Summer Break too. Bye!

GMail: A Behind the Scenes Video

After flicking through my email on my GMail account, I came across a link in the top corner of the page. Yes, there are often quite a lot of these, but I soon found out that this one was a little different. Basically, GMail (also known as Google Mail), is making a special video, trying to show how an email message travels around the world, as they said. Here is the video so far:





Basically, they want us, (ie: the people who use GMail), to add to this video, showing how an email can be passed on. They say that the best ones will be added to the current video, so you can see your own clip on the internet. It seemed quite interesting to me, so I thought I'd blog it. If you want more information, then click here. That's it for now, so bye, and good luck if you enter the competition.
