Top 10 Strange Jousting Games

Jousting is the noble medieval martial art of knights on horseback, pitting their wits and lances against each other in order to gain money, prestige and the favours of a fair maiden or two. The following list details the ultimate modern equivalents - the only thing that the victors of these battles gain is to look slightly less stupid than their opponents.10.

Statues...the slapping game

Strange Games recently received an e-mail from reader Manuel Carvalho detailing a Portuguese playground game he knows and has played as Statues. This is not related to the rather dull party game of Musical Statues (players attempt to remain as still as a statue whenever the music stops) in any way. This is the kind of red-blooded, stupidly violent playground game that we love.Manuel writes, "

3d Link's Awakening Final Update

And that's it! The Egg is complete, and with it, this nearly 2 year long project!





I had a lot of fun working on this, and would like to thank everyone who has followed me on this project, and everyone who has helped me.

I wish I could keep this going and make a full game out of it, but I lack the programming skills required to do so. Instead I am going to release the Soundtrack composed by the wonderful Dan Vithyavuthi for this project, as well as all my 3d models, maybe someone will find use for them.

I'm going to be on a temporary hiatus for a bit, as I am happy to announce that in August I will be moving from Washington to Orlando Florida to start an indie game company with some of my friends. I will also be doing more non-game projects, such as game reviews, let's plays, and a series about what I have learned as a game tester, in my free time. The hope is to get more active, get my name out there, and get some indie games released.

Links Awakening 3D OST vol 1
Songs can be found on YouTube as well

Note: Volume 1 of the OST contains all the songs Dan made before he had to quit due increasing work load from college. When he has the time I will commission him to finish up the remaining tracks and release them as Volume 2.

Models will be uploaded after they are cleaned up.

See you on the other side!

Cucumber Sandwich Discus @ the Chap Olympiad

This last weekend saw the 5th Annual Chap Olympiad. The Chap magazine, a journal for the modern gentleman, has been publishing sartorial advice and articles on pipe smoking, tweed, and indeed everything else a chap needs to know, for ten years now but it is their marvellous sporting events that appeal to the lover of Strange Games. The event features Hair Tug of War, Bicycle Jousting (covered

Robot Soccer

As the bore-fest that is the Football World Cup comes to a close Strange Games receives an e-mail from reader Issy McDonald promoting the cause of Robot Soccer.She writes, "Robot Football is my own invention. To play you simply play a normal game of football except everyone, including goalies, must move like a robot. So movement must be as mechanical as possible but most importantly you must not

Chance of Gaming Podcast

When Adam contacted me about being interviewed for his Podcast “Chance of Gaming” I had two immediate questions.


1) What the hell is a podcast?


2) What the hell do I have to talk about?


I am decidedly un- hip, I do not tweet and I refuse to buy an I-phone.


I took some time out to listen to the Chance of Gaming Podcasts and found their style to be an R rated entertaining and irreverent look at all things gaming, from board to miniature to computer games.

I agreed to the interview but I wasn’t even sure I would be able to fill twenty minutes with anything interesting. Turns out once you get me started you won’t be able to shut me up. If you have some time on your hands and you want to learn a bit more about me and the way I create my models, give a listen to Chance of Gaming Episode 10. I do recommend that you try out the other episodes as well… I found them entertaining and even learned a thing or two.

So sit back in your favorite chair, relax and enjoy!
