Another take on the internet community. This is what would happen if Google’s parents left town for the weekend. What kind of party would their kid throw? Very funny video, although not kid-safe at all.

G2 - Geeks Unleashed is an arcade-style game where you try to collect artifacts before your opponent can, thereby winning prizes. You play a geeky collector at a convention, desperately looking for the article that will complete your collection. In order to get that article, you have to “battle” other geeks in a puzzle/arcade game. There are also some mini games to play.

The game is cute and cartoonish, with some spoofs of convention goers. The gameplay is deceptively easy, and you do need to use some strategy to win at higher levels.  With 30 levels of gameplay, the game is short, but the production values are good, and you can play in various modes, including story, quick, and even 2-player.

A fun, funny spoof on geeks, their obsessions, and the conventions that let them be as crazy as they wanna be. G2 - Geeks Unleashed - download a free 1-hour trial or buy it for only $19.95.

This week, my geeky side is coming to the forefront. First up, a funny cartoon from xkcd about the online communities and their relationships. Enjoy! And be sure to look at the rest of the site for other funny strips dealing with some strange stick figures.

Are you ever in the mood for low-budget murder mysteries? The Stickman Murder Mystery site may be just the place for you. Sure it’s violent, but the victims are only stick figures.

You play a homicide detective who solves crimes for the town of Stickville. You interview suspects, collect evidence, examine the body, and profile criminals. Then, when you think you’ve solved the mystery, you submit the evidence to your boss, the Chief. If he believes you, you’re a star! If not, oh boy, do you get humiliated.

It’s a combination of campy detective stories, juvenile humor, and clever stories. All done with bright colors, and stick figures. Now, the graphics aren’t the best, and neither are the sound effects. It’s almost like a trip back to those text adventure stories, with some interactive features thrown in. i happen to love nostalgic games, so I was in detective heaven.

Another caveat: sometimes you have to answer a question to get through a certain point. For example, in order to use the MRI machine on a body, you must answer a question about gambling, pharmaceuticals, or something else. I think that orginally (or maybe even now) this game was used as a way to get people to click on links and sell stuff. I just treat these questions as a way to hone my research skills and be a better detective.

With titles like Stabbing in Stickville,  Drowning in Stickville, Cadaver at Stickville Dump, Arson in Stickville, and Manslaugher in Stickville, you’re in for hours of detective fun. And best of all, it’s free!  Click here to go to begin your detective adventure.

Yes, I hate to admit it, but this video is getting funnier every day. I like to joke that I have a “swiss cheese brain”. You know, lots of holes. This song sums up that feeling perfectly… Watch it here.

Well, it’s almost Halloween. And what could be scarier than a fat cat with a craving for donuts?  Add in a spooky house, and you’ve got a cute animated adventure that’s fun for the whole family. Both Garfield’s Scary Scavenger 1 and Garfield’s Scary Scavenger 2 games are set up with the same sort of gameplay.

You have to search a spooky mansion for clues and donut boxes. Get all the donuts and solve all the puzzles and you’re free. But watch out. Garfield is sort of a scaredy cat. There are lots of scary ghosts and ghouls who jump and scream. If Garfield’s “scary meter” gets too full, he runs away in fear, and you start the game over again.

In Scary Scavenger 1, you have to figure out a way into then out of a haunted mansion. In Scary Scavenger 2, you start out in the dark basement of the mansion, and have to get out. With great music, cool animation, scary sounds, and some familiar faces, this is one game that’s funny and scary at the same time.

Go ahead and play, if you dare. I know I wasted some Halloween time on this fun game.  I even made my kid play with me - and we had fun! Truly frightening.

Oh my god! icanhascheezburger.com has the funniest cat pics and captions around. Of course, I’m an English nerd, so the captions make my teeth clench, but the pictures are so funny that it’s worth it! I spent a lot of time going through the 90+ pages of pictures (what? yes, I do have a life, really….). The picture here is from page 4.

Catch the wacky cats (and an occasional mouse, ferret, bunny, and dog) here.

“I’ve Got Mail” - I love this song by The Richter Scales! It’s funny, and perfect for anyone who’s gotten junk email. They’re really good, and you can also enjoy ”I Hate A Cappella” and “Stockholm Syndrome.”  You can also buy their album, with even more songs.

This very funny guide can be found at James Huggins’ Refrigerator Door site. It gives advice to your favorite feline on how to train you while having fun at the same time. Some highlights:

Chairs and Rugs:
If you have to throw up, get to a chair quickly. If you cannot manage in time, get to an Oriental rug. If there is no Oriental rug, shag is good. When throwing up on the carpet, make sure you back up so that it is as long as the human’s bare foot.

Bathrooms:
Always accompany guests to the bathroom. It is not necessary to do anything . . . just sit and stare.\
