The good folk over at NASA’s always interesting APoD have a real visual gem today. This photo of an AURORA taken near BEAR LAKE by US Airforce Senior Airman Joshua Strang in 2005 while stationed in ALASKA is visually stunning.

GAMES: Spaced Out Penguin

Category fun, games, web | 1 Comment »

 
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get KEVIN THE SPACE PENGUIN back to his spaceship. It’s never made clear quite WHY Kevin is always getting OUT of his spaceship. That aside this is a fun game that can drive you mad.  Basically you are using a GPS (Giant Penguin Slingshot) to fire Kevin across the vast lonely emptyness of space, back to his ship in the FEWEST number of tries.  You get MORE points the LONGER DISTANCE the journey you take. Sounds confusing. It’s not once you get in there and start flinging Kevin about the universe.

Very easy in the early stages, it soon gets harder with the addition of planets, whose gravity affect Kevin’s trajectory just like in real space. Also there are BONUS spinny things you can use to get more points

 
Remember, you get MORE points the LONGER DISTANCE the journey Kevin takes to get back to his ship. Enjoy.    And don’t forget to post your SCORE in the COMMENTS section.
