Nuclear Toast

The End of the World

2012-01-03T08:00:00.000-08:00

Is 2012 really the end of the world? Well, it is the end of Nuclear Toast, the blog. It's been fun, but it's time to wrap this thing up. I'll leave you with two things:

The first thing I ever linked to, on my original link site, is still around. The amazing workstations of Poetic Technologies.

See how a link blog is done right by heading over to Look At This...

Don't worry, the internet is still out there, and it's waiting for you.

This is a reaction/aiming game where small colored balls drop from the top, and you have to bounce them off the big ball you control at the bottom. Get three or more of the same color and they disappear for points, but be careful that none reach the top of the screen or your round is over. The red spike ball clears out any others it comes in contact with. Try to keep the balls bouncing with The Game You Can't Stop.
