Google Maps Meets Carmen Sandiego

Posted by Zonk on from the they-go-from-nashville-to-norway-down-there-to-zimbabwe dept.

Craig Miller writes "What better way to end the weekend than by playing a game of Brewster Jennings Protects America? This new game is a Google Maps mashup with the classic 'Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego' style of game. Run around the world trying to stop a terrorist from carrying an attack. Pretty amusing game and it shows what you can do with the Google Maps API and a little imagination." Despite the jingoistic title and concept it's a lot of fun, and quite challenging on hard.

    I had many a naughty fantasy about Carmen Sandiego in my youth.

    My end to the weekend was taking my 5 year-old son and his 5 year-old 'girlfriend' (the 'girl next door') to a farm park to see the animals, play on the inflatable bouncy castles, ride on the boats and generally get some fresh air. Welcome to the real world.

    Flamebait? Are you fucking kidding me?

    Please explain to me how the outing of Plame did not blow out a significant portion of the CIA's assets in Africa!

    Flamebait would be posting an outrageous claim meant to sucker people into an endless shouting match.

    That the outing of Plame was harmful to the US's best interests is a statement of fucking fact my friend, and is of such importance that everyone in the USA should be hearing it.

    I can only assume the moderator is a supporter of the Bush presidency. That's fine: just don't allow your ideology to interfere with your responsibilities as a moderator.
