sorry.... Kongai

once again.. sorry it has been awhile, and i plan on being better about the blog.... but i have lots of other things going on.... THOUGH that is not an excuse... so here

Kongai, the long awaited Kongregate Card Game (using cards you earn from Kongregate's Challenges) has finally been released to everyone...

I have been a member of Kongregate for a really really long time/very early on and have been waiting for this game forever, so it is nice to play it.

But now that it is here, while it is fun, it is not as great as i had been anticipating. Don't get me wrong, it's amusing, and fun to play against others online and be rewarded for earning cards through challenges, but it has nothing out of the ordinary for a card game.

Maybe i will eventually like it... we'll just have to see...

NOTE- i know it seems like i do a lot of kongregate things, and this is in no way the only site i like out of the almost infinite that exist, i just recently have had lots of things to say about it

AS ALWAYS... here are the links

E3!!!/Sorry

I am sorry it has been awhile since i posted.... and i plan on doing more. But here is some info to remember

1. E3 is going on now... i have tried to find an exact answer for this, but i can get one but here is what i do know= For TV most/all coverage is on G4(tv).... but in terms of online, gaming sites like gamespot.com and ign.com and various blogs will have coverage..... i don't know if they have any more live streaming than G4 .... but i know they have stuff. I guess there may also be other sites out there, but like i said, i don't know for sure. You can also find various streams of stuff like G4 on streaming/webcam/live streaming blogs and shows sites like justin.tv

the main thing to remember is even though i have tried hard, i can't get a definite answer on E3 coverage... but i know you can check/watch G4, various gaming sites, blogs, etc...

**** g4tv.com = live coverage of press conferences and stuff.....

Some games i hate.....

There are plenty of flash games that i hate, but there are a couple i just wanted to mention right now. Both of these are somewhat liked by large groups of people (It also depends on what community/site you are talking about)... but at least for Kongregate, i know these games are respected

1. Fancy Pants...... i Just completely hate those games. They are really boring, and have plenty of moments where they just randomly run slow.

2. Indestructo tank..... When you get a large number of enemies it starts running slow (you can probably see by now that i really hate when flash games run slow) and it just is boring after awhile.

NOTE - Of course, just the fact that these flash games were made/that the authors were able to make them is great! Making a game is hard and good job to them. I am just saying, that once we get past the automatic greatness for the game/author since making flash games is hard, I, personally do not like them.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING- The links i give tend to be only from one of many places you can find the game.... every one in a while the link may be the only site that the game is on, but games tend to make there way around. Just be careful to watch out for some sites where the game has been stolen/copied/submitted/posted without permission.

Particles - one of my favorite flash games

I have tons upon tons upon tons of favorite sites, flash games (in addition to online games, java games, shockwave games, freeware games, etc..), flash games music (free legal music), etc...

and here is one of my favorite games and it includes one of my favorite songs (found on Newgrounds Audio Portal)

It is extremely basic, but i loved it from the moment i discovered it (Which was when it was the game that you had to play in order to win the challenge for a card on Kongregate.com)

here is the game (Kongregate link) http://www.kongregate.com/games/Ragdollsoft/particles
it is by Ragdollsoft ( http://www.kongregate.com/accounts/Ragdollsoft )

and here is the music on Newgrounds http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/30208
NOTE- the song is Twilight Techno by Dimrain47 (he has some really good music on Newgrounds in addition to this song)

here is a link to Dimrain47's page on Newgrounds http://dimrain47.newgrounds.com/

Not Necessarrily Flash Games, but Flash Game Music

I don't think people realize it enough, but indie/free music (legal) that you find over the internet, such as at the Newgrounds Audio Portal (http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/), can actually be very good! Especially, but not limited to, for personal use (ipod or whatever) or for putting in flash games/movies.

I have a ton of music that i like that is Free and Legally Free/ is given out by artists under a license where you can have it for free... and plenty of it comes from the Newgrounds Audio Portal

but here is one of my recent favorites and the person has made a few versions of it. I didn't really like the first one, but i liked the second and the third so here are the links. NOTE- Song is by Newgrounds user Envy ( http://envy.newgrounds.com/ ) So nice job to Envy, it's a good song!

second version http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/105753
third version http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/153594

And this is just two of a ton!!!! of songs!! so you really should check it and other legal sites out for yourself and see what you can find.

Just make sure you give credit to the artist! And follow their guidelines!

SIDE NOTE - I know i haven't put it up yet, but in the future i will add some way to contact me, i am just deciding on the best method(s) and the best name(s) for each one

**Another side note... i just added at the bottom of the blog posts/blog page an "Important note on Flash Games and Sites and such"** It would be good to look at it... (it's pretty short)
