Yay!  You begged for it, you asked for it... some of you even demanded it!   Today markes another batch of new games.  Only five of them, but hey, it's something right?

Have fun and be careful not to trip over each other scrambling to get to them, eh?  You'll see the games linked from the home page or find them in the Flash Game Arcade . 

Today's batch is all in the neglected  Puzzle & Strategy games category, which will be great for a lot of players.  There are more coming in this challenging category, but these should do nicely for a little while.  Go excercise your brains, Pointless Gamers!  :)

UPDATE:  Mark Trail has obliterated my score: (who's next??)

Oh yeah!  The gauntlet has been thrown ...

Yup, now you're gonna have to get in there and beat THAT!!  I know it can't be done.  Honestly, I'm the best and will likely stay the best forever and ever.

...and not just because I can edit the scores in the database directly and give myself any score I want.  No, that would be too easy.  I'm the best because I play better than everyone else.  It's that simple.  So, if you dare, try beating that high score of mine.  Go ahead.

(Whew!  It was hard for me to act that arrogant, but desperate measures called for it.  We need more players to come in and post scores!!  Email your friends and challenge your uncles.  Let's get some competition going around here, eh?  I promise not to  act like a jerk anymore if you promise to go out and bring in more players!  Deal?)

I hope most of you like the new site theme!  I finally found one that worked technically, and I rather like it aesthetically, so we have a winner!!  I did quite a bit of customization of it, but the colors and (lack of) graphics are all stock.  It would be great to get around to customizing the colors at least, but not a priority of mine right now.  I NEED TO MAKE GAMES!!!

If you're finding something dissatisfying about the layout of things, please drop me a note... I know there are a lot of ads strew about, but I really need the extra revenue to justify working on all this stuff!  I'm doing it all so you can play fun games for FREE... a few ads are the least of your worries, I think.  Just support us by visiting links that you find interesting.  DON'T CLICK JUST TO GET ME PAID!!  PLEASE!  Honesty is key here, but I'm sure you'll find some interesting stuff pop up, so know that visiting those links does help me out... I don't want people to commit fraud, though!

Blah, blah, blah... thanks again for stopping by!  Please bookmark us and come back soon!  (Bring friends and post links to us if you can!  Thanks!!)

What an annoying ordeal... of course it was just a single changed setting that I could have fixed, but noooo... complete site reinstall before figuring it out!  It's basically some incompatible stuff I installed, but you're not interested in that, are you?

Now I can turn attention back to the games and polishing up the site!  Yay.  However, the bad news (for you) is that I'm heading off on a trip, so I'm not sure how much I can do before I leave.  You'll have to just click on some ads you're interested in to find your games.

Make sure to bookmark PointlessGames.com before you leave, though!  Also, if you're interested in massively multiplayer online games, you can check out one of my other sites, MassMOG.com . 

Thanks for visiting and thanks to those of you who were up late with me and helped me test things out!!  Go sign up for a new account so you can get the handle of your dreams for the high score boards that will be up "soon."  Woot! 

I think we're back up and accepting new accounts now.  Please give it a whirl. You can find the account creation link on the left under the login form.  Make sure you use a valid email addy and check your spam filter box if you don't see the authorization email within minutes.

I'll go put more of the stuff back on the site while you're helping me test the system.  Thanks! 

GAH!

Hate to say this, but I think I'm going to re-install this frickin' site now!  I can't get user registration to work and it's driving me crazy.  I will bring back these posts in a minute, but for a while, the site is gonna be dead and then will look wacky for a bit.

Sorry!! 

[update:  re-install complete!  Well, there's still some tuning to do, but it should be back up.  --Luap]
