Friday Flash Fun: Play a Missile Command clone in a somewhat-hidden section of Ryan Adams' redesigned web site. (So this is why he released so many albums last year...)

Second link is fuxored. Sorry. ryan-adams.com, not ryan-dams.com. Could somebody fix that, please?

Man, tough game! And I played it on soft! Yeesh, I always sucked at Missile Command. The music is annoying but catchy, nice find!

Is he related to Bryan Adams?

Not related.

They do have the same birthday, according to the Trivia section of that Wiki page, but requesting a Bryan Adams song at a Ryan Adams show isn't recommended.

That's a cool little game, thanks! It is a lot easier with the mouse, I will have to see how well I do this evening kicking it old-skool with my trackball at home.

Man, that's too easy. I got to level 15 and just got bored.

Ryan Adams does not find your joke amusing, dr_dank.

That actually makes it funnier then.

Ryan Adams does care what you think.

Yeah, fairly easy. 12,648 points for me!

(I got a bunch of points for not using my megascuds; I had over 100 by the end... but then, I didn't read the instructions so I had no idea how to use them)

Funny thing is, the game got a lot easier once I only had one base to defend.

Ryan Adams is teaching children to be lazy.

Man, if Ryan Adams had died after he released Heartbreaker, he'd have been looked on as a genius. Instead, he's a hack.

Had no idea how to use the stupid mega-scuds until I read the directions. Then I won the game in about 10 minutes with a total score of a bit more than 111000 points (level 20). Not nearly as fun as Chaos Theory.
