“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style artistry from around the world is also welcome. ^^

-BD = "Bandes dessinées"
-BDT = Bedetheque
-GN = graphic novel
-LBK = Lambiek
-LC = "Ligne claire"

Here's a place to share some fun links, browser games, and chitchat about whatever...


LINKS:

  • Play the randomly-generated Tintin quiz !
  • Behold the amazing Floor796 animated character project. (see how many famous BD characters you can spot)
  • Browse the utterly fascinating Marginalian blog, in which the author regularly takes deep dives in to the arts, literature, philosophy and so forth, tying everything together in delightful, thought-provoking, and uplifting ways.
  • Play the quiz "Who are these ten classic characters just about to appear?" [ Answers ]
  • Enter a trance-state via the ever-scrolling ZOOMQUILT and ZOOMQUILT2.
  • It's free ANIMATED MOVIE NIGHT. (four films and five shorts) [NOTE: Some of the links there are to the matching lemm.ee posts, but I can't edit them from my new acct. A simple search will quickly turn them up, though.]
  • Play thousands of your favorite old flash (and other browser games) via the amazing Flashpoint Project.


GAMES: (I'll be adding pictures and a table in future)

  • ARMOR ALLEY, arguably the greatest side-scrolling helicopter game of all time.
  • SOLITAIRE BATTLESHIPS, and ~40 other excellent puzzle games.
  • KONKR, a simple but challenging series of tactical boardgame battles, something like RISK, but powered up with special forces.
  • POLYTRACK, a fun, tough set of low-poly tracks to race through, directly inspired by TrackMania.
  • PRINCE OF PERSIA, a browser version of this legendary classic. (Note that this version allows you to tweak time, health and level number right in the URL!)
  • Return of the SLIMEPIRES, a super-fun, totally original, zombie-themed platformer. [Note: there's a higher-res version here]
  • ROGUE FABLE III, an excellent roguelike that only takes an hour or so to beat, featuring loads of interesting character classes. [WIKI]
  • SABOTAGE, an hilarious but tough, top-down action game, loosely based on the early-80's classic Castle Wolfenstein, but with much smoother gameplay.
  • SPELUNKY, hands-down the greatest roguelike platformer ever. Simple to get in to, but be warned that the learning curve is immense. Fortunately, there's a super-helpful WIKI.
  • TOWER-SWAP, a tremendously fun, original, addictive mashup of the match-3 and tower defense genres, both of which I'm ordinarily kind of fatigued by.

Well, there's a reasonable start. Much more to add in coming weeks and months, and of course feel free to nominate your favorites. Or just to chat about whatever...
