Snowcraft: take that, you snort boys

Filed under: Procrastination on Tuesday, December 19, 2006

I want to thank Lesia of Biography of a Southern Writer for finding this game and and sending me the link, thereby saving me lots and lots of time, which I hope to use to get the rest of my Christmas cards out before Valentine’s Day. Yay, Lesia!

I did do a little homework about it, though (just so you know I’m not a total procrastination loser) and learned that this game first saw the light of day in 1998, when IconNicholson sent it out as their company Christmas card.

Okay, so let’s get down to some serious snow fighting business!

At first I kept getting slaughtered by the little guys in green, who like to snort-laugh after they whup your hiney. Then I discovered that if you throw the snowballs while you are moving, somehow it packs a bigger punch.

Yeah, well, that’s the theory, anyway. Unless I’m constantly on my guard I usually end up like this:

  1. You are a bad and evil woman. As soon as I get back from finishing up the Christmas shopping, I’ll have to try this. And then, I’ll have to post it so Marianne can yell at me how I’m the major reason she’s not finishing her book!!! ;-)

  6. I have shockwave, but every time I go to the link I just get a blank game page…Is there some secret to getting the game up and running? Or does it hate Safari?

  7. Dawg tried to lure me into that game.

    I ran. I will watch him play but he’d rather play Monkey snowball fight.
