People opened their browsers to see a Google Doodle, except it certainly wasn't anything they could have expected. Instead of commemorating a special event or anniversary, like they have done countless times in the past, the Doodle was of a flying saucer 'abducting' one the of O's in Google. In addition to this strange event, Google posted on their Twitter account a cryptic message, which, when translated, spells out 'All your O are Belong to us'. When the doodle is clicked, it directs the user to a google search, the key words being 'unexplained phenomenon'.
What do you think this means? Post your speculations in the comments!

Revolution in Flash
Ever played DDR? You know, Dance Dance Revolution? Have you at least heard of it? You know, that game where the arrows are scrolling and you have to step on the corresponding arrow on your dance pad? Yeah, so you know what I'm talking about. Sure, it doesn't compare to real dancing, it looks quite silly in fact, but, you know, you're getting excercise, so why now play it?
Now, what if you could experience all the thrill of hitting arrows at the right time, but without the silly jumping and sweating? Not interested? Well too bad, because you've already started reading, and there's nothing you can do to stop! That's right, imagine, seeing the score go up, your combo climbing higher and higher, but without the dance mats, because everyone knows peripherals are gimmicky right? (right?)
Well, you can have all that and more with Flash Flash Revolution, a flash based clone of Dance Dance Revolution, the classic rhythm game. With only the four arrow keys on your keyboard you can be accumulating 'perfects' and collecting all the tokens and achievements, increasing your grand total score with every game, and proving to everyone how epically awesome you are. And when you need to rest, there's always the option of 'chilling out' with friends and strangers on the forums and chat rooms, only to come back rejuvenated for multiplayer battles. And if that's not enough, why not participate in a tournament, or the many contests scattered around the site.
Oh, and what about the song selection? Well, there aren't any big names out there, except maybe a Disturbed song or something of the like scattered here and there, but it's what you would expect from a game like this, right? Look at DDR for example; not many names in lights there. Sure Rock Band and Guitar Hero, are up to the brim with them, but that's what you would expect, right? With many genres to choose from, as well as extra songs you can purchase with credits (or save them up to unlock songs that require a minimum balance of credits), there are over 700 public songs to choose from, and that number increases every week.
But, I'm sure you've had enough of this advertisement-like article, so why don't you stop listening to me and try it for yourself? It may seem difficult at first, but, if you have any knowledge of music-based games, you'll come to expect things like that. Don't let it intimidate you, just keep practicing! In no time you'll be seeing yourself improve! Watch those hours fly away!
