Seems like Monday news.

A Fire Faerie mushroom for Adam to collect.

The Zomutts are pretty awesome. Nothing really St. David's Day themed...

[Base]

Nothing too special... those Zomutts are pretty cool though. St. David's Day doesn't seem that exciting. But hey, what would I know.

[AFI_Sorrow]

Oh I love the new Zomutts! The eyes on the snowy one are adorable.
Meh, the stairs are alright. I guess they were due to make some though. I'm just waiting for some nice stone staircases. Those would be cool!

[fallen_enigma]

I went to the Kiko Match game and clicked to play it. But when the window popped up, it said:

ERROR : This game is not available!


Ack...and that's like the only game I was ever really good at. I want to see if they ruined it at all.

I keep waiting for something to be able to go between the rooms. It's annoying to have to go back and then click on the next room rather than just walk between them.

....unless I completely missed something.

[Knives]

OMG. Robot Zomutt and Mutant Zomutt rock. Now I know EXACTLY what to give my mutant lupe!

[Chao]

It's absolutely adorable. <3

A Fire Faerie mushroom for Adam to collect.

Thats what I first thought too!

The new Kiko Match II makeover is nice... but it kinda slows me down now.

[Armi]

OMG! Zomutts have colors! *huggles Klawz* What to paint him!? I want mutant, but that would destroy his Petpet spotlight image. Choices!

Man, I was NEVER expecting Zomutts to have colors.

[everconfused]

Well I just played the "new" kiko match. They have completely ruined it. At least for dial up users (of course, we don't exist, do we?). It takes forever for a card to turn over, and I find I have to really click hard to get a card to turn over.

That's great fun for someone with carpal tunnel, I can tell you. Well there's another 3k a day I won't be able to earn. Every time I turn around it seems that they're finding more ways to keep (some of) us for earning any np.

What do the internet connection has to do with the game speed?
And why don't you just click the "turn off animations" button?

EDIT:Well, it would be weird to post on a day old news topic. Shockwave is of course laggy for slow computers. It's much more complex than flash. But, flash games were never "too laggy" to me, even with the slow computer I have, since I could play with size and graphic quality.. .Your computer is maybe slower than mine(I use a 500 mhz), as I play smoothly with the 600x480 windows, high quality or 800x600, medium quality. Animations turned off, of course. Still, this is not to convince you think that this game upgrade was good. I just...don't see it as bad as you do.

Some games either don't really work (castle battles) or don't work well (volcano run) on older, or slower computers. And yes, I did turn the animation off.

I thought, at least, that my dial up had something to do with how slow and almost laggy the new version of this game is.

Oh, was just lurking the game board - no one there likes it, many people are sending in comments saying so.
