A yellow submarine. A beautiful and soothing shockwave submarine simulator. (via B3ta)

I made it to the bottom and found some boxes and old toxic waste barrels. I'll have to explore more at home tonight.

Thanks Ljubljana!

I made it to the bottom and found my browser crashing. I wonder if it was being metaphorical.

Is there really anything to explore for?

I got a browser crash as well. When your PC can't handle browser games, its REALLY time for an upgrade.

I got a browser crash on a 2.4GHz machine with a gig of memory. It's not your hardware.

How do you turn on the lasers?

It crashed Omniweb, but Safari handled it just fine.

Once you've found the shipwreck though, it seems you're done exploring though. I passed beyond the boundaries of the world on several sides, and also went below the islands. In fact, i went below the islands, then under them and back up inside them!

Now see, y'all ruined it for me. I was hoping there was a lot more to see.

Oh well, the kids like driving (and singing about) the yellow submarine.

It's nice, except for the whole crashing thing.

Shouldn't it be called Das re-Boot then?

Help! I'm stuck on Level Three. There's an orc to the right of me and an elf in front. I've tried blasting the orc with my plasma gun, bartering for passage with my bag of golden dragon shit, and jumping over the orc with my anti-grav suit. But the elf keeps summoning the three mystic sages who burn me with mountain fire.

What do I do??

Be careful. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

jpoulos - who would have every thought that your comment + Google would lead me to a video of the infamous exploding whale??
