This "Abortion Battles" Game Might Be As Fun As It Sounds [VIDEO]

Dalton Castle — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:07:11 +0000

People call Hunter College students playing a game named Abortion Battles “callous” but I’m calling them geniuses. Sure the idea of killing the imaginary babies of pregnant dudes may strike a nerve to some but try and see the value in this. The game is basically a reenactment of the Michele Jackson video “beat it” but [...]

In its place will be a cat. Hey, are you really that surprised? The internet loves cats.

Dalton Castle — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 19:35:05 +0000

I’m not positive who would create such a game but my guess this was made by the devil him self to tempt you at work to just procrastinate your day way. Found on BWE someone has taken the classic NES game “Super Mario” and summarized it for internet play. Every level of the original game [...]

It's the bottom of the fifth inning, two outs, tie score, man on 3rd - the pitch, a light white ball sails in the direction of the batter. The batter swings.. a long fly ball, the outfielder has it in his range when suddenly a gust of wind causes the ball to fall to the ground in the double area.. the man on 3rd scores.. game over!

Since, I am a Mac addict, I generally work off of Firefox and Safari. The browsers tend [...]

I bought a Wii a few years ago and the first games purchased were Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 2, and Super Mario Bros 3. Clearly I miss games from when I was a nerdy kid. They are also the ONLY video games in the world that I’m good at. So what was the world like in 1985?
