Baf's Guide


NOTE: This joke is based on a reference to the book "Only You Can Save Mankind" by Terry Pratchett. My only complaint is that the countdown timer assumes there are 61 seconds per minute, 61 minutes per hour, 25 hours per day, and 366 days per year.

-- Mark Musante

Gag game, pretty much summed up by the title. Subtitled "An Interactive Waste of Time."

Neil Armstrong Commemorative Space Poll by Joey Jones
I'm hankering to play a good space-themed game. That is to say, a game not necessarily set in space, but a game that is in some way about space or our relation to space. Any takers?
