Excellent news for fans of quality point'n'click games (and fans of playing thru surreal modern art) as the top quality sights and sounds of Deep Chalk return in Deep Chalk (Second Phase) to entertain us on an otherwise uneventful Thursday [via nordinho].

Hmmm... a personal quandary... England play USA, who do I support? The homeland or the motherland? I'm not really sure what I'm meant to do. It certainly felt strange watching the game, and I'm not sure if I lost or won. A good game, but it weirded me out.

Monkey Experiment involves a monkey, as you might be able to guess from the name, which is always a good thing. Monkeys rock. Although experimenting on monkeys is always a bad thing. Monkey experiments suck. However as this is a short escape the room game, and it's all virtual, and no monkeys were harmed during the making of the game, it's all ok. Especially if you sing a little monkey song as you play [subbed by ~*Mercedes*~].

UPDATE: I forgot to mention BTW that the code changes each time you play so, unless random luck is really smiling on you today, the "clue" in the screenshot above won't be of much help to you.

Try to escape the stereotyped "smart casual" dress code of wearing khakis* in Escape Khaki Room [subbed by Mystery, ~*Mercedes*~ & Meeker].

Forgotten Rites is an action adventure game controlled using your clunky old keyboard. Not my normal cup of tea (or coffee) at all, but a tenuous homophone link between the words "rite" and "right" allows me to gratuitously link to the Beastie Boys singing "Fight Your Right To Party", which is precisely the sort of randomness that is totally my cup of tea (or coffee). Anyway, meanwhile, adventure games fans may enjoy the game even if you have to leave the comfort of mouse clicking behind you to play [subbed by Andiar].

Brains Is A Dancer is a silly, but amusing, viral ad thing coming to an inter-web near you soon. And by soon, I mean you've probably been emailed it 50 times today already [subbed by f00].

FAQ: Who is Brains?

News just coming in on my earpiece that Level 20 of MOTAS is out now... although I assume MOTAS addicts are already too busy puzzling and/or dancing in the streets to be reading this [subbed by PhoeNixe, sorrowless_joe & anon].

JohnnyB's Agent Scarecrow Series, which is a little part point'n'click adventure, a big part interactive story, continues with Agent Scarecrow 2: Aggressive Shopping. Those of you confused about what number to call at the beginning of the game have probably forgotten your code from Part 1 (or never played it) meaning you're going to need to play Part 1 again, or hunt around for the numbers somewhere, I'm sure you'll work it out [subbed and created by JohnnyB].

The somewhat involved Geek Quest adventures continue with another lengthy point'n'click episode in Geek Quest 3. Players new to the series are probably best advised to play the previous episodes before trying to figure out what's going on with this one [subbed by Mystery, Helanren & ellerbellers].
