    Take a swing at the Penguin!
    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?

    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 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:
  • Nov 18, 2007, 06:47 AM
    RubyPitbull
    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.

    Try this one: Yeti Sports Games , but be warned of the bloody version ;)

    323.5 is my highest I think
  • 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.

    Takes ages, but here's my score for you all to try and beat ;)

    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?
  • Nov 22, 2007, 03:05 PM
    Curlyben
    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 :-)
