Teh Hotness – Captain Forever

Captain Forever - Build a Ship
Captain Forever - Build a Ship

Captain Forever is a new flash game from Farbs in which you fly through the galaxy, blowing up other ships and salvaging what is left for your own ship.

The gameplay itself is wonderfully addictive in how you always want to try and build different shapes of ships. Combat is very interesting in that you want to destroy the enemy ship, but also want to save pieces for you to salvage.

If you like Captain Forever – for $20 you can become a supporter and have access to the game Captain Successor.

Here’s a fan-made video to give you an idea of what’s in store when you play Captain Forever:

Teh Hotness: Make your own [adult swim] DVD

[adult swim] has done it again where you can make a custom DVD of your favorite [adult swim] shows for $20. Remember when an actual DVD filled with things you didn’t want to watch cost $20?

You get 110 minutes of whatever [adult swim] shows you want. Pick the shows, pick the episodes and go to town. You can mix and match Venture Bros. with Aqua Teen Hunger Force – it’s your call.

Once you’ve got your shows lined up, you can pick the design for the case, disc and insert. Three days later a DVD filled with [adult swim] love is in the mail, on it’s way to a loving home.

And while you are at the [adult swim] store, you can get more insane bad-assery from the one television block that is so awesome, it makes me want to buy a US satellite dish.
