Endless Frog Kids is a puzzle game centered around the mating habits of our green amphibian friends, mixed together with a cautionary tale that is told using charts and graphs. You need to have a Java-enabled browser and also an open mind to play, as the game might possibly offend some players with its innuendos and sexual undertones.

The current build features ten levels to solve in total. Continue reading

So, sometimes I say I’m going to post something, then totally neglect to. Over the next week or so I’d like to finally clear out my backlog. (But maybe I shouldn’t say that!) This may be deja vu for many of you, but hopefully at least a few folks will see something new. Either way, it’ll help me sleep at night.

Froggle is 3D platformer made by Team Hardcode, a group of DigiPen students, where you play a little frog (well, something like a frog, anyway) who uses his tongue to grapple and swing around stylized, cartoony environments on a quest to renew his Froggle License. Think Wind Waker meets Bionic Commando, but with WASD shooter-style controls. Wait, I’m making this sound more confusing than it is. Just give it a try, eh?

Before there was the Soulja Boy Dance, the Stanky Leg, or even the Crazy Frog Bros., there was this three-year old tearing the club up at one of Nintendo's early 90s Powerfest events. The festival apparently promoted Mario-themed fruit snacks by providing a small set where attendees could make their own music video.

The kids would dance along to a hip-hop song about the fruit snacks, as the rapper name dropped popular first-party characters like Zelda and Shyguys. Afterwards, the children would receive a free VHS tape of their performance.

Those of you who feel rap music has lost its way, that it's obsessed with violence, material wealth, and misogyny, will be happy to hear that this song has a positive, hopeful message buried in its shilling for artificially colored junk food. "Listen to the words I say. There's going to be a brighter day," the young rapper promises.

Thanks to the wonders and ease of video uploading/sharing, there are actually several of these performances online. You can watch a couple more below:
