Okay, now I know I’m not supposed to be sitting for long periods of time (I’ve got a fracture in my left foot and cellulitis in my right leg), but this new game, Iggle Pop (available at [here (yes I realize some of you folks think this place is EVIL)](http://www.gamehouse.com) is as addicting as **Crack**. I went ahead and purchased it, and have been bedeviling myself with it ever since. It has two modes, adventure and retro; the adventure has 100 levels and the retro 50. I’ve made it all the way through the adventure game but that’s only because it gives you the option of continuing if you use up all your lives–the retro mode doesn’t do that! Each time, you start back at the beginning!

It’s kind of hard to explain, but it is a challenging game and quite fun–you goal is to save little critters who have been imprisoned, similar to Mario brothers, I guess. Hehe, I was quite addicted to Super Mario Three there for a while … that was like crack for me too. At any rate, if anyone is interested, it is a good game and worth the purchase.

Darn, I was hoping this was going to be a game based on the life of Iggy Pop. Now _that_ would be exciting!

Bah.

Good game, but it downloaded adware that attempted to hijack my browser. Now I gotta spend time cleaning off my computer. Not happy. ☹
