A sub-directorate of the Bureau of Special Christmas Operations (BOSCO),
Santa's Little Secret Service is an Elvish security agency with the primary mission of ensuring the safety of Santa, Mrs. Claus and other high-value Christmas persons. The Service is separated into
divisions focusing on personal protection, diplomatic protection, intelligence, and Christmas certainty operations.
When not protecting Santa, LSS can found assisting in protection of other high-value, Holiday persons, such as the
Easter Bunny and
Jesus with the help of their unique
Candy Cane weapons.

"Flashy sports cars valued at as much as $4 million became a mangled mess in a matter of minutes on Sunday when a Ferrari leading a pack of exotic sports cars on a trip from Japan’s southern island of Kyushu to Hiroshima
skidded as it tried to change lanes."

spotlight post.

"There's just so much science, nature, music, arts, technology, storytelling and assorted good stuff out there that my kids (and maybe your kids) haven't seen. It's most likely not stuff that was made for them... But we don't underestimate kids around
here." [

This year marks a decade of
Strong Bad Emails, sent from Strong Bad's desk. Next to his computer sits a box of
floppy discs, often displaying game titles. If you missed those titles, the detail-oriented
Homestar Runner wiki (
previously)
provides game titles, summaries, and links. Many of the games are old computer games like
Rise of the Dragon or
Miner 2049er, and some titles are linked to
Lord_Pall's
revived Home of the Underdogs abandonware game archive. Other games have links to
the Videlectrix catalog, where you can see
box art and
play some demos. Or you can go back to the Homestar Runner wiki, and go to the list of
playable Videlectrix titles, like
50k Racewalker (
play online)
Polulation: Tire (
play online) or
Peasant's Quest (
play online) (More previous stuff:
Peasant's Quest and
Where's An Egg?).

Freaky Friday Flash Fun, Flatting Flies:
Insectonator is a top-down shooter. Well, "shooter" is a stretch; this is more of "stomp, drop things, overkill with naplam" attack on pretty much every homeowner's nightmare: a bunch of crawly bugs in the dark that avoid the flashlight.
The bugs don't shoot back, so the game is just an endurance test by the player. And there are two awards for actually sticking around long enough. Weapons include a rock, your boot, various guns (including sniper rifles), rocket launchers, an anvil, naplam, and finally, a nuclear weapon.
Via the ever excellent
Jay Is Games.

Psykopaint is really fun, visually interesting and free. It
is a rich internet application in which you can turn your pictures into paintings by grabbing one of the 6 brushes provided and start painting while the colors are selected automatically for you. Created by
Mathieu Gosselin.
