The reason I originally chose to play flash games was because I just did not have the energy or inclination to start spending a ton of time downloading my favorite games from the Internet. But what I didn't imagine or expect was how great they could be. Because there are so many different flash games to play (a lot of which are free) I play a ton and thus go through phases of which my favorite ones are. Currently, I love to play ping pong flash game. I used to play ping pong with my brother when I was growing up so I understood the basic concept. But I tell you something...when I play ping pong in a flash environment it's WAY more exciting and I think I'm better skilled at it. Not only that but I'm sure that if I go out to play real live ping pong, because of my experience with flash ping pong gaming, I think I'll be really good at it.
It's a free game to play and the aim of the game is to bounce the ball as many times as possible. The more you get in to bouncing the ball without it dropping on the virtual floor, the more you begin to understand the whole concept of keeping a ball in the air - hence the reason I am sure I will be really good at playing real live ping pong. And of course with this ping pong flash game there is no downloading time (even though the size of the game is 353 kb) so I'm playing straight away without wasting any time. The mouse controls the ball so playing ping pong is also good for general computer skills as you learn to better control the mouse. It really is a great way of getting in to computer games as a general rule, especially since it's free!

Get Real Excitement from Bubbleshooter
There are very few things my husband and I come to blows on. And even with this cool and exciting flash game of bubbleshooter we are not exactly coming to blows! But when we vacation to a spa for 2 days and take only one laptop with us, we do tend to argue over who's going to play bubbleshooter first! It's just such a fun game! There are 6 different colored balls on a screen, filing three quarters of the screen (light blue; dark blue; yellow; green; red and fuscia pink). At the bottom of the screen are two colored balls - one that is going to come out immediately and the other one behind it that will come out afterwards. The goal of the game is to aim the first ball to the screen filled with balls, but to aim it to at least 2 of the same colors of these balls so that you knock them out. If you knock them out more balls do not fall down; if you fail, extra balls come down and you lose if too many balls come to the end of the screen.
What I've been learning in bubbleshooter recently as I've been developing my bubbleshooting skills, is that a good strategy is NOT to focus on the first ball but the second ball. If for example there are two options for the first ball (i.e. your first ball is red and there are two or more places where there is a clutter of red balls) then go for the red balls that will give you access to the next color that you are going to have to try knocking out.
My husband and I both find that the game is very unforgiving of 2 mistakes. And it is very unforgiving once you have knocked out one color on expert level (there are four levels with two ways of play: sniper and classic) then it gets really tough and the balls come down really fast. But that is what makes the game so exciting. You feel like you just HAVE to knock out another color. And the more colors you knock out, the faster the balls come down so you have to be really fast and clever. It's frustrating but in a fun way and we love it. Somehow it always adds to the enjoyment of our vacation!

While Away Time With THESE Cool Flash Games
Sometimes you just have to take a bit of time out. Not because things are difficult or anything, but just because you need to do something a bit different. My husband had been a semi-professional pool player for years - way before I had ever met him - and I guess because he was really good now, he just wasn't at all interested in showing me how to play. In fact it was his long-term pool partner who had taught me my first (and indeed until I discovered the flash game 3D pool) and only move in pool. Well, now that I was able to play on line, without even having to wait a moment to download the game (that's the beauty of flash games), I felt like I was actually managing to develop a skill in the game.
Within seconds of clicking on 3D pool, you can see your pool stick and aim it against the white ball (you can tell by my lingo that I know nothing of this game at all, right?). You get a small round diagram at the top of the board to show you how your pool stick is lined up, to help you organize your move. I have to tell you, it took me a while to get anywhere at all in this game initially, but once I did, I found that I was developing a skill that I had never managed to achieve when I played the game off line. And then when I next went to our pool table downstairs, my husband was most impressed that I was able to actually get somewhere in a real live game too! It will indeed take me some time to get to any kind of level so as to play the game against him, but I sure am a whole lot better than I was a few months ago! 3D pool is a great way of wasting time in a positive way.

Thunderstruck Flash Jolts You!
Thunderstruck Flash was the best game I have ever played. I was using a different game by Microgaming when he had noticed the thunderbolt in the middle of the screen. It said, "Play Thunderstruck Flash And Get a Jolt!" Well, I thought that sounded like an exciting and enticing game, so I decided to give it a try. Boy, I was happy that I had. Thunderstruck Flash was so much fun that I couldn't let go.
Thunderstruck was exciting, full of music and great graphics, and bound to give out nice winnings. These were the things that I love about Thunderstruck Flash. The flash component always made the games more exciting and vibrant, and I try to play flash games whenever I can. Now Thunderstruck - the Flash slot game - offers a great chance to play and enjoy. This was just the type of game that I have been looking for and now it is right there for any computer. I figured this blog would be a great way to spread the word about this fun game.

Play Fun Flash Games from your PC
Actually, I think the greatest place to play games is in Dave and Buster’s. They have the coolest games around. They also have good food and drinks, but the bets part is the virtual reality games they have. It’s just like playing in the real world, only better! They have games galore and lots of awesome stuff to do. Once we had an office party there, and one time they fixed up a great deal for my friend’s birthday. And while you are playing all their fun games, you can meet a lot of really neat people. Another great place for games is on the internet. Although the interaction isn’t there, you have the convenience of being able to play from any computer. And the new games are much more sophisticated than the old Solitaire that comes with your Windows. They have action games, silly cartoon games, casino games. You can find just about anything to play these days.
Romance at the Fun Flash Games
Paris and the Fun Flash Games
I travelled to Paris with my boyfriend on a romantic getaway trip. Although I was very much looking forward to the vacation, I had no desire to leave the Fun flash Games behind me. I had a simple solution for this challenge. I decided to take with me my lap top computer and then I would surely be able to enter the Fun flash Games from anywhere that I could access the Internet. This proved to be good idea - one that I am sure that my boyfriend would also agree with.
Enjoying the Fun Flash Games in Paris
I loved Paris. I felt that it was such a romantic city. We toured the city during the day and sat at cafes - ordering coffee and croissants. I enjoyed just sitting there soaking in the the atmosphere. In the evenings, we usually went out for dinner, although on the odd occasion, we ate at our hotel. We were on vacation and we could do what we liked. When we felt like some action, we accessed the Fun flash Games. It was simple to access - and looked just the same as it does from home! I cannot explain why, but somehow playing games at the Fun flash Games in Paris, had a romantic feel to it!
