FORWARD 100

The Great Red Herring Chase is like TypeRacer, but with a plot. Greg Wohlwend's other games are addictive, destructive/cute (previously), philosophical, and baffling. Next, he's taking on the exciting world of patent illustrations. But if your childhoood was anything like mine, his homepage will be your biggest productivity killer. (via)

Great concept, awful implementation.

Normally I hate flash portfolios, but his was pretty awesome.

Yeah, that is an awesome homepage. Too bad it's just too tall to work properly in Firefox on a MacBook with the tab bar open.

That patent illustration game was stupid and yet oddly hypnotic. Also, one of the YouTube comments wishes him success and the earning of "many money-dollars". Did Fraa Jad sing me into a different narrative?

Yeah, I played this for a bit, it's horribly, horribly repetitive. Couldn't be arsed to keep playing in fact.
