Reminiscing old games as a little boy

Hi guys. How are you doing? Hope you're doing fine. Yah yah I know. It's been a very long time since I've written an article about some awesome sites on the Internet. So much have changed. Too long a story to tell. So anyway today I'm going to talk about the beautiful gaming sites I've found on the Net these past few days. Beautiful free online games websites. Since I've been hooked into online games lately to kill my boredom. I've quit writing and reading for a while and start to engage on this gaming trend today. This Mobile Legends thing. 

But no, this is not my cup of tea. Since I grew up in the 90's, I prefer to play classic games. So then I came looking for classic games that I can play. Some kind of reminiscing the good old childhood days. As Gun N Roes would sing, Sweet Child 'O mine. My sweet child of mine. I want to do things when I was still a kid. And yes computer is just one of the top on the list. Computer games. So without further ado here are my favorite gaming websites:

 Kongregate. (https://www.kongregate.com/) What I like about this website is that it has almost a complete set of games from different eras. They even have old games I play when I was still a kid such as Super Mario Brothers and Battle City. To be abe to play their game you need to register to their website. However after you're registered, there is a message that says:

Flash End-of-Life This game runs on Flash. Effective Jan. 12, 2021, Adobe (the company that made Flash) began blocking its use everywhere. This is unfortunate, but outside of Kongregate's control. We recommend installing the SuperNova SWF Chrome Extension. Check out this article for specific steps. Please note: If you are using the SuperNova extension, badges will not work normally. Read this forum post for more information about how this will affect Badges of the Day.

So you need to install a Chrome extension called Supernova, since Flash is not anymore available since January 2021. I have not yet decided to install the Supernova extenison for Chrome since I need to remove the existing important extensions in my Chrome for my marketing needs. Meanwhile, I need to play games on my free time as what I've said, I want to do things I did when I was still a little boy. I'm so on a rush I can't wait to play my favorite classic games. So here I found Plays.org.

This time I can see a bunch of games old and new and with many categories to choose from so that you won't be having a hard time looking for your favorite games and without using the search bar. So here I found the 'classic' category. There I found 3D Pong Pinball Game and Tetris, also my favorite games as a child.

But I found something interesting that brought back memories of childhood. Tom and Jerry. So there my curiosity and excitement sparked again. Tom and Jerry is my all-time favorite cartoon show. Watch below how I played the game. So funny I don't know how to play games anymore. But it was because I was overwhelmed with the control keys. We'll I'm not getting used to it yet. Since I use my keyboard for my writing stories and articles. And as a child I used Joy Stick of an Atari or Control Device for Play Station. 

Nevertheless, the website is so cool. I don't have to register to the website and no need for a Chrome extension. Just go directly to plays.org and there you're ready to play. There's so much to choose from. Try it and I'm sure you will be satisfied with the huge amount of games in the website. The website is coded with HTML5. So it is not that difficult to render in any browser. 

What I like about this website is that you can play directly. How's that for instant gratification? Have you played a game before without having to download a software? I don't think so. You will need a software in order to play a game. If you're using a mobile phone, you will need to install an app. That's for sure. But with plays.org there is no need for that. Go directly to the website and play immediately. Perect at these times of pandemic. Stay home and play as you can. 

Plays.org is super awesome especially to litte kids. Having said that, it is also awesome to all ages. Especially to me who just want to bring back the old days as a little boy. It's not that complicated. I so love it! This will be my favorite beautiful website to go whenever I'm bored and wanna spark my 'sweet child of mine.' 

Just click here to go to the website. In the meantime, I have yet to install the Supernova extension for my Chrome so I can play my favorite classic games at Kongregate.

Feel better with Rainymood

Weather changes mood, as Kurt Cobain sings. It is a dogma. Well, psychologically, it is the truth.

Personally I always like rainy weather. That wet streets with raindrops pouring, I have always liked being out there. Of course with an umbrella.

Even when your inside your house or office, isn't it relaxing to hear the rain pouring down the earth, the leaves, the roof? Combined with little thunderstorms, the sound of the rain is like music. It's a sweet melody to the ears.

Let's admit it, when it rains we feel better.

Here's a beautiful website that make us relax whether you are in the house or in the office.

The sound you'll here is an actual rainfall. And it doesn't stop. It is continuous. No repetition. It's like hearing a real rain.

A very beautiful sound most ideal to hear anytime of the day. Although most of the time you want to get relaxed at the middle of the day. In the afternoon or at late night.

You can also combine the rain sound to this music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzIK5FaC38w#t=16

Or just any slow, soothing music always goes together with this sound of a pouring rain by RainyMood.

I tried Pictures of You by The Cure and it was so lovely. :)

Chrome Experiments is a showcase of web experiments written by the creative coding community.
All of them are built in HTML5 and JavaScript using open web technologies such as Canvas, WebGL, WebRTC, and Portable Native Client. Each experiment is submitted by the creator.
It’s our hope that these projects provide inspiration to anyone interested in experimenting creatively with the web. We also hope they show how the web is constantly becoming more powerful, more fun, and more open – the spirit in which we built Google Chrome.
 We’re always looking for new experiments. If you've made something fun, fast and beautiful in HTML5 and JavaScript, please send it in. We can't post everything, but we'd love to see it. Thanks for visiting, and happy experimenting.

One page I stumbled upon showcased the floating, animated numbers 500 drawn in motion.
