Imagine yourself naked and cold, with only a tiny bicycle to help you navigate a post-apocalyptic world, and you have the excellently stylish Flash game Icycle.
“The next ice age has arrived and the world as we know it has peacefully frozen in time, but to one naked survivor it’s cold and lonely as hell!
Icycle is a contemporary take on a RETRO style bike game which challenges your skill and memory. Trial and error will pave the way but remembering the path might prove harder than you expect. Collect as many bubbles as possible but be prepared for plenty of amusing fatalities along the way.
If only dying was this much fun in life!”

Like playing video games, but have the ADD of a Jack Russel terrier on Red Bull? Can’t play video games worth anything, but like the story? Then the Let’s Play Archive is for you. It’s one of the few places you can watch someone play an ENTIRE videogame while they journal during the play. Though I feel that I might have too bad of a case of ADD for even this, depending on the author, there can be humorous remarks during game play, plus you get to see where all of that extra stuff to collect is hidden.
On the same note, check out Freeman’s Mind. This fun series is someone playing through the game with hilarious audio commentary as though you are hearing the comments of Freedman from the famous Half-Life series while he is going through the game!
