JethricOne sent me a link to a ridiculously fun if totally bizarre Flash game called Wart Hog a few minutes ago.
The game has you using a military vehicle called a “Wart Hog” to take out the aliens floating around the screen. Only you don’t use the gun mounted onto the back of the dune buggy-like ride to do this, rather you place a number of grenades under the vehicle, position the grenades relative to the bottom of the vehicle, and then position the vehicle relative to the aliens so that when you detonate the grenades the Wart Hog is sent flying through the air bouncing off of the walls and smashing aliens in the process. You need to blow up the Wart Hog in just the right way to ensure it bounces into all of the aliens in one try. Succeed and you go to the next level with more aliens randomly placed. Fail and you can try again.
It’s simple, strange, and overwhelmingly addictive. J1 has already played it until level 38. I’m not as far because I stopped long enough to blog about it.

What IS it about boys and men that they have such fun blowing things up and making things crash into other things? This is just another cool combination of the two activities.
