Rainy weekend, indoor playtime. Over at Jay Is Games, there's a backlog of unplayed games: I've played a little of Super Serif Bros., and it's the most fun you can have with just the keys on the keyboard. If you're a graphics snob, here's what Jay says about this one:

Remember the Hapland games? Yeah, well this is from one and the same, Rob Allen.

The objective is fairly simple: using the arrow keys for movement, navigate the player character (I) through each level to collect all of the gold (£) and then make it to the exit (E) safely. Along the way you will find a multitude of characters with special behaviors, such as elevators ("), conveyor belts (()), moving platforms (T), activation switches (~), and the like. There is even an occasional enemy thrown in that will give you chase, or fall on you.

With 13 14 levels to play, and probably more on the way, Super Serif Bros. will turn you inside out by the time you make it through and beat the game.

(News: "Hapland by Robin Allen wins the first prize of a top-of-the-range PC and monitor courtesy of PC World plus an additional cash prize of £1,000 to spend as he chooses. Here is the breakdown of the winners in full..." Three other games to poke at, too.)

And,

Grow Nano is another fantastic release from On at Eyezmaze, creator of the unforgettable Grow series of flash games.

But this is the one I'm gearing up to: Chiko: Accidental Alien.

Chiko: Accidental Alien is an exceptionally gorgeous and well-produced Flash adventure game that will keep you busy for hours.

Help Chiko return to Earth after being swept away on a stray rocket shuttle found in a museum's basement. From there Chiko is taken to Squerx, the biggest fun park in the galaxy, where he embarks on a journey that spans three (3) delightful episodes.

The game is huge, with lots of quests, items to collect, and mini-games galore.

Meanwhile, you might want to listen to David Crosby :: 1970 Session Outtakes at Aquarium Drunkard. Lots more notable tunes -- 17 volumes worth -- at Jefitoblog. Volume 17 of the "great performances recorded right in Boulder at KBCO Studio C" begins below the Michael Bolton dreck. Keep cruising backwards.

Or you could go look at anti-war art if it makes you feel better.

More garden blogs later in the day.
