A Triple Shot of Awesomeness: Galaga Cupcakes
2008-03-07 19:27:00 My friend Jon is an avid fan of many things, including classic arcade games. He’s got a select few in his collection, and one of his favorites is the Midway classic known as Galaga. It was his birthday yesterday, and since you could never have all three ships operating in the game together at one time, I decided it was high time to rectify this matter in the form of three conjoined cupcake ships.1 Lo and behold, the legend of the triple shot became reality. The cakes themselves were made of my mocha angel food cake, obviously minus the berries and cream. While they were cooling, I made a fresh batch of marshmallow fondant, dyed it accordingly, and went to work. The results are what you’re now viewing.

Galaxian, Galaga, Gaplus
2007-08-11 21:14:00 Here, in this post, I present recordings of at least three classic games that expanded on what Space Invaders began. First, here's Galaxian:As you can see, the challenge is to gun down all those aliens who're dive bombing at you and to be careful thus that they won't crash into and destroy your ship. Things get pretty tough when there's fewer left and more to dodge.Next, here's Galaga:This game introduced the aliens with tractor beams that could capture the player's ships, and the challenge here if you have the chance is to gun down the alien with another turn and regain the ship to put alongside the current one for double - even triple - firepower. Since some of the aliens can do a double swoop, that makes shooting them down pretty tricky if there's just two left.And then, here's Gaplus:In this entry, you can move anywhere on the screen within the lower fourth/fifth of it (I wonder if it used a trackball like Centipede did?), and this time, depending on if you shoot the cor...

Kgalagadi Transfrontier Game Reserve
2007-03-15 15:20:00 Go on a African Safari in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park.Where the red dunes and scrub fade into infinity and herds of gemsbok, springbok, eland and blue wildebeest follow the seasons, where imposing camel thorn trees provide shade for huge black-mane lions and vantage points for leopard and many raptors... this is the Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park.The Kalahari Gemsbok National Park in South Africa was proclaimed in 1931 mainly to protect the migrating game, especially the gemsbok.
