In Oiligarchy, you explore the land for oil reserves and start drilling when you find them. If the locals don’t allow it or if there’s too much fancy wildlife around, you’ll have to deal with this “problem”. This is where politics comes in handy: by supporting presidential election campaigns, you’ll get the man in the Oval Office to work for you and eventually be able to drill everywhere. In the meantime you’ll get filthy rich! Enjoy and be sure to keep up with the oil demand or you’re out of business.

Auditorium is an interesting audio visual puzzle game about the process of discovery and play. There are no right or wrong answers; there are many ways to solve every puzzle. In every level, you try to redirect or control ‘The Flow’ which is a stream of audio visual particles that will create sound when matched with the audio container of their color. The aim is to fill up all audio containers so you hear the music completely, you’ll see (and hear) what I mean when you play it. Enjoy!

I’ve been experiencing the silliest things lately with the money transfer & online payment called NETELLER. After opening an account there, it is required to arrange a telephone call to verify that you are indeed a real person and not some smart poodle surfing the internet.

So I gave them my number in Belgium that automatically gets forwarded over the internet to Germany, because I was in Germany at that time. I made the foolish mistake of letting them in on this and all of a sudden, this number was no good anymore; I needed to be in my country of registration. After some discussion, people calling their bosses and listening to some relaxing music, they finally agreed on calling me on this Belgian number as well as on a fixed line of choice in Germany. Well, alright then! Within the hour some guy from a call center called me on both numbers. The absurdity level of this stranger twice asking me for my user ID and (something similar to) what my mother’s maiden name is, is hilariously high! Read more

Very, very, very addictive is this online game called Xeno Tactic. The first five levels are OK, but the sixth one I find impossible (reached wave sixty something there). The game is still beta so things are still changing a bit, however it feels quite finished already. Enjoy!
