# New Game - Typing Terror! Wave after wave of malfunctioning clockwork Grundos are attacking the Space Station, bent on your destruction! Your only hope of escaping alive is to type in the words on their body screen, which causes them to short-circuit and explode.

"You sit there, stunned. The scientists start screaming. You have no idea what to do. You start panicking... You suddenly see a bottle of Neocola. What do you do?"

# If you have lost touch with someone, or just haven't seen them for a while, why not catch up with a quick 'Long time no see' Neogreeting?

Hehe, I knew there would be a happy Armi about :D ignore the idb pm ^_^

I'm impressed by this part of the news: "We have increased the max Neopoints you can earn from playing the featured game to 2,000 NP."

Coolies xD

:o Game scores on featured games doubled? At last!

Now if normal games followed that trend, I'm not disappointed at this though.

:) -enters Random Contest-

Fri Jul 29, 2005 8:13 pm

awww, my Anthem didn't win. *pouts* I've tried that new typing game, it's fairly tough. (Level 5 seems to be where it gets difficult) Too bad I can't make good graphics, although maybe I'll try to see what I can whip up in Paint. ;)

That's awesome and everything, but I really wish I hadn't played todays FG yet. :cry:

Fri Jul 29, 2005 9:35 pm

Hooray, a Random Contest I can enter! I better win! XD

Sweet stuff, having you get 2000 NP from featured games. And that Darigan Bori is sweeet.

Fri Jul 29, 2005 10:17 pm

Yay! New Random Contest...one I can actually do =D

Fri Jul 29, 2005 10:18 pm

About the new random contest.... Do we use neopets images around the site, or do we have to draw our own pictures aswell?

I hope either or. Galgarroth doesn't have any good images that can be made into a blog, so I wanted to use my drawing of him instead.

Hmm, well I entered the contest already, and I've seen a few other entries. Mostly people are just using images from the site and going from there.

That new game is driving me nuts! And I can type, really! I end up feeling like I did when I had to take typing tests though, I kind of freeze up and make mistakes :P

Too bad I'd already played the featured game today! Watch, now the featured game will always be something uber hard to get a good score on in general or that I just can't play (not that good at games).

Am I the only one who thinks that they should have a weekly avatar and blog contest? The avatar one was so much fun and it was a shame to be limited to just one avatar to be judge. I haven't a clue what I'm going to do for this one though.

Sat Jul 30, 2005 12:35 am

Darigan Bori is sweet....pity Faerie matches Rykara better, those things are awesome....

Sat Jul 30, 2005 12:35 am

Huggles, yes! Even once a month would be neat. I ended up making 2 blogs. I started one, then had another idea so I ended up sitting and staring at both of them trying to decide which one was good enough to submit. Fingers crossed, one of these days I gotta win ... something?
