Nerdy Thursday- Desktop Tower Defense

Nothing is as exciting and terrifying to a nerd as the ADDICTING GAME. Sometimes it's Civilization I-IV, or another complex strategy tale. Others, it's a game like Puzzle Pirates.
You kind of expect to get addicted to games like these, because they are built for extended play and you can micromanage your nerdy brain out. Customization, managing, and creativity is the name of the game, and the more the merrier.

Then the VERY ADDICTING GAME comes along. This is the game that addicts you so fast and so hard you are addicted before you know you are addicted. This is the short, simple, yet challenging minigame I am talking about, my friends, and the new king of the VERY ADDICTING GAME is Desktop Tower Defense. In order to keep from addicting you, I won't describe it too much except to say it's a mesh of Centipede-Rampart-and any other build walls and stop the bad guys game. Basically, you build gun towers to stop baddies from making it across the screen. I can't say anymore-- it's too addicting to even discuss. Don't click on the link, if you know what's best for you. It's partly why I haven't blogged in a few days...

Settling in

Finally, the Ladd household is now cable-free as we go to Netflix. We already queued up over 25 discs, and are very happy with the decision. Since Netflix does TV shows as well as movies, its a much better deal at only a fraction of the cost. Let's face it, the library is bigger then any rental store, cheaper, and more convenient. Add an antenna for local stations, and viola! All the tube time we need. Plus that frees up internet funding. Ahhh, the internet.

Have a great weekend!
