Poor penguin.

Just something silly to keep you all amused for a few moments.

Can you hit the penguin? Just click on the yeti to get the penguin to drop down, then click on the yeti again to swing the bat and hit the penguin. How far did the penguin go? What is your best distance?

Your welcome shy. Some days we just need a little silliness in our lives.

Ok I only hit him once but I got a measly 201.3. I'm a wuss. It took me three darn swings before I even hit the bird! All right, I need to go take out some more frustration on Mr. Featherbrain. Thanks Roobs :D

Crap, I must have had a finger spasm from all that penguin wailing. Can every one else see that? Can I get rid of one of my dummy double posts?

Thanks Ruby
311 first go... then just got worst :-) Kind of addictive

Thanks a bunch, Ruby! :rolleyes:
Very addicting! On about the third try I got 321.9
... and I've been trying to duplicate it since. :eek:

RubyPitbull
Nov 18, 2007, 06:47 AM
Haha. Glad you both like it too. My best was 315.5. I have managed to duplicate that score and get a 311 but that is as high as I have been able to go.

You terrible people. Abusing a poor harmless bird. Will the cruely never end? LOL.

Glad you both are having fun.:)

Try this one: Yeti Sports Games (http://www.methodshop.com/games/play/yeti/) , but be warned of the bloody version ;)

BiWiccanAndProud
Nov 21, 2007, 01:50 PM
323.5 is my highest I think

RubyPitbull
Nov 21, 2007, 03:07 PM
Well, CB I tried the bloody version and of course, really smacked that penguin much farther than on the other version. 594. But, I have to say, it left me a bit squeamish. I am just not good with killing, maiming & blood, even the virtual reality kind. I know. I am a wimp.

Curlyben

If you have time try the LONG shot.
Takes ages, but here's my score for you all to try and beat ;)

I got 754 on bloody version.

Clough
Nov 21, 2007, 06:28 PM
I loved doing the first one that was mentioned, Ruby! :D

Will be giving the bloody one a try!

Holy Cow Capt!! How did you get this, I have been playing a week almost and still can't get past my first score :)

If you get the angle just right, on the Long Shot version, and let it run (very long finish, so minimize and let it run) It will skip and skip and skip... very slow decay, almost like no air resistance and little gravity! The little guy just keeps on going!

Very good! How do you attach the image like that?

Curlyben
Nov 22, 2007, 03:05 PM
Print Screen,
Paste into paint (or similar)
SAVE as JPG
Then Go Advanced and use the paper clip icon to attach the picture.

There is a size limit so you'll have to cut the distance part out like I have ;)

Thanks Ben , I'll give it a go. That means I'll have to belt that little penguin again :-)

Nov 22, 2007, 03:39 PM
Anyone else going to try?

CaptainRich
Nov 22, 2007, 03:40 PM
I've have been trying! :eek:
You keep raising the ante! :D

Curlyben
Nov 22, 2007, 03:47 PM
I know.
Long Shot is hard.
You have to hit Pingu right at the BOTTOM of the fall and go for the long term bounce.

friend4u178
Nov 22, 2007, 03:48 PM
Ok Ben looks like you have set the benchmark for the longest , I don't think anyone can beat mine for the shortest though :-) 248.8m

Hhmmm picture didn't work , I'll have to try again.

Curlyben
Nov 22, 2007, 03:49 PM
