Game of Chomp

I found this very chompy cute and tasty game online [See link below]. Unfortunately, I have yet to win against my opponent. Let me know if you do.

Instructions:

The game of Chomp is like Russian Roulette for chocolate lovers. A move consists of chomping a square out of the chocolate bar along with any squares to the right and above.Players alternate moves.

The lower left square is poisoned though and the player forced to chomp it loses.

Try your luck against the machine. You chomp on a square by clicking on the square with the mouse. You move first.  You can win from the initial position, but be careful!

Click on the CHOMPY GAME to try it. =p

Chomp!

Komikon Review

Three days after KOMIKon and I still have not updated my blog (my apologies!!!) The fever of the said event has been transferred to me. Literally. It did not help that my *ahem* monthly visitor also chose this memorable day to drop by and bleed me to death. Ok, not to my death, but to very painful cramps. But this post is not about me so to continue…

I would be lying if I say that Komikon 2005 went by without a glitch. After all, it was a first of its kind in many ways. It’s a first for Artists Den to organize an event. It’s the first Philippine comics convention specifically catering to Filipino artists. It’s the first (well, maybe not the first) that friendships, patience, personalities and beliefs among the group was challenged. In spite of all these, the group, with the help of the sponsors, exhibitors, participants and everyone who have contributed, we can definitely say that KOMIKON 2005 was a success! Thanks so much! We all deserve accolades (or Punta Fuego wink!wink!)!

But we, as the organizers acknowledge that there is still a lot of room for improvement. And we know that that is our next challenge. That is why we would really appreciate your comments, suggestions, criticisms, etc. This would only ensure or at least help make next year’s KOMIKON an even bigger success.

After all, we have the next 360+ or so days to prepare for it. Time is ticking!
