As Marko stated when he shared this link on his blog, “Yes, I’m a middle school youth worker.” (grin) In this game, you must “power” your pig with pig-farts to get him across the screen. Anyone up for a try?
This, from the generation who does not know life without Internet connectivity and social web 2.0 sites…
I initially saw this on Jonathan’s blog from The Source for Youth Ministry, and now, I’ve seen it several places since.

What’s a “luchador”? Here’s a definition off of Wikipedia…
Lucha libre (Spanish for “free fight”) is a term used in Mexico and other Spanish-speaking areas to refer to a certain form of professional wrestling involving varied techniques and moves. Outside of these areas, the term is synonymous with the professional wrestling performed in Mexico and other Latin American countries.
Mexican wrestling is characterized by rapid sequences of holds and moves, as well as spectacular high-flying moves, many of which have been adopted in the United States, and colorful masks. Lucha libre performers are known as luchadores (singular luchador).
Now, watch what happens when this everyday luchador’s roomie — whose name happens to be “Jesus” — comes back after break and wakes up luchador from his nap time…
Check out this mash-up where you can “drive” a little car around your neighborhood (or any other) on Google maps. All you do is select your location, click on the map, and then use your arrow keys to get around. It’s called “googleDrive”.

I ran across BuzzDash: The Game today. It’s a fun, Family Feud, guess-what-the-majority-vote-is type of game. Give it a try and see how you do. I just scored a 10 out of 15.
