In the search engine archives, search for "Now You Know," the title of the comic.

I just used the rocks to build my cow/chicken fences. They don't get rotten like wood does.

Any game with the word sudoku in it. I mean come on why by a vide game for 20 bucks when you can buy 17 mega sudoku books for half as much?

Metal Gear Acid should have gotten someone a horrible fate. Like...waking up as Uwe Boll. Hmm. A friend of mine when I was younger had some PC game. I think it was a demo disk some cereal company put out. It was like...Doom. But all about Chex mix or somthing. It was so bad...that it was funny. It was like...Doom for kids.

Does that keep wild animals out? I was under the impression the only thing that kept animals from eating your chickens and scaring your cows was the actual wooden fences... I'm going off the SNES version, mind you... I don't know about the bazillion sequels...

Cho Aniki. Unfortunately, I have no plausible way of explaining this utterly bizzare Japanese shooter, and the content of the game is too risque to link to a website.

Google it, if you have a high tolerance level for the disturbing.

SimEarth, Sim Isle and Sim Health.

I like Sim games. I liked ThemeHospital, Sim City 2000 (the best of the lot), Railroad Tycoon (the original 16 color version), Pirates (new & old one) and others. Yes, I even LIKE SIM FARM. But the above three is horrendously dour. Interesting ideas, ill-designed and about as interesting as watching paint dry.

Chex Quest Adventure :P And I loved that game when I was little. Infact, I still have the disk... unfotunately, you could only play the first half of the game on it, to finish, you had to go online at chexquest2.com or something but I didn't have an internet connection (this was back in like 95 when that game came out) and when I finally did, it no longer exsisted. I was so bummed :(

Heh... I played that game [Chex Quest Adventure]. Actually, from what I hear from some younger cousins who actually beat it, you can't get the second part unless you actually purchase it. I doubt that happened very often...

Lol... I had beaten the game numerous times as well and at the end it always said "Continue the adventure at ChexQuest2.com" or something like that :P So I assumed it was playable online. So yea, anyway, I never got to defeat the evil flemoids. It ended with a to be continued kind of ending and I always wanted to see what happened next... tisk tisk.

Edit:
And I found this interesting site:

http://www.doomlegends.com/chexquest/frames.html

And apparently it was a free download from the site... hmm, I wanna play this game again :P

Oh wow, you can DL part 1 and 2... sweet... my childhood dreams will finally be fullfilled!!

I dunno, I can at least understand why that steaming crapheap was created. It was the result of business relations gone awry -- on the other hand, Takeshi's Challenge is a game made by a man who admittedly hates games (and gamers -- Look it up on Wikipedia - I posted a link to it on page 1, somewhere). Most games I can understand why they're made, but ... I just don't get this one.
