Fun and games
I'm probably way behind the times on this one, but that sodding penguin game has two sequels which are similarly fun (all require flash type stuff). Apparently JoWood have signed those responsible, which should be a load of fun, given some of JoWood's other releases.
Meanwhile, I've been busily playing Agents (still!) and frozen-bubble, and looking nervously at the list of things I really ought to be doing before term starts again; still, maybe I can complete both this week, and return to my usual levels of productivity, or something.

You quit, you pansy.

This is the second insulting comment I've had from (presumably) random Agents players in the last couple of days. This one can stay here. so I can hang this comment off it.
I stopped playing Agents before the end of the game, yes. Apparently this makes me a "pansy", as well as a "cry-baby". But frankly, the game was getting tedious. It's great fun at the lower levels, but by level 10 it reaches the point where there is no variety in play, and each day is simply a mechanical process of trying to work out which of the agents online is someone's duplicate account today, and to get a kill every few days in order to stay up a level. There's very little excitement left at that stage. There are 2 players who don't feel the same way, who have spent months and months at the top of level 10 — I can only assume they have nothing better to do with their lives than paranoidly check on a web game every few minutes. Sadly I do, so was unable to compete. I wish those who continue playing it all the best, but I don't think I'll be back any time soon.
As an aside, I may suck at silly web games, but I hope I'm at least better at putting across my opinions than "lyle", whoever he, she or it may be. :-P

Pansies quit Agents? Hahaha. No, people with lives to lead quit Agents. Lyle is just some sad Agents addict with no friends and a fawning protection of Linoge.

To start with I was just talking a little smack, hoping you would finish the game; you are so close to finishing, I got to ten. Yes there was some team work with linoge, but when your roomate is playing, wouldn't you watch each other's back also. And to address the comment on having no life that would be incorrect, my roomate and I play at the same time of the day, and we periodically check up for each other throughout the day and see what's going on. and to 'jimbo' check your email on the game.

For what it's worth, the person posting as "Foo" has indeed already finished the game. Shortly after the first time I reached L10, as I recall.
