GIRLS IDEA

If you turned in your yellow paper then you can move forward to the next sentence…

No fancy picture boxes this week, but still really cool flash-based games for your Fun Friday Frivolity:

Can you stack 99 Bricks?

Or drive the Bubble Tanks 2?

Play a card game called Castle Wars?

How many games can you beat in the Four Second Frenzy? (This game is CRAAAAZY fast, people!)

Dotville needs a leader.  Are you smart enough to run the dots?

Help Meatboy not be so squishy and dead.
