Kongregate, the Flash game house has released Kongregate Labs, offering a series of "shootorials" to teach users how to create simple Flash games. "OMG LAZERS PEW PEW ... wait, this is actually pretty cool..."

Sponsored by Scion, but we won't hold that against them.

First, Kongregate is awesome. Second, this sounds really cool and I will definitely have to check it out, but I have zero artistic talent so I doubt I'll stick with it.

Let's hope this works out better than Muppet Labs ever did. Although I'm sure that less hilarity will be involved.

And I just killed a kongregate tab because I was going to fall *just short* of making a 30 point hard badge for the second time in a row and needed a cooling off period. I love the site. The badge system on there, as well as the XBox gamerscore points, are very motivating, psychologically.

Kongregate tells facebook when you play a game and puts it in your news feed.

Which bugs me.

You can turn that off, phunn.
