I salute you to reaching this far, you are not the only one possessed by the eggs. Here are some cool facts you may not know about the egg!

- it is actually made from chicken
- if you stare at the egg for too long, it might grow a baby chick... infinite eggs!
- sadly it does not grow on trees

This is all I managed to learn so far, but my conquest for the mastery of egg-knowledge continues.

100 Asian Cats
Rating: 10/10
Why: Looking for the last hidden cat reminded me of times when my little Friskle decided to run away to Indonesia for spiritual enlightenment, and I had to search for him for two weeks. Simple times, happy times. Thank you for reliving that lovely memory.

Cats Hidden In Paris
Rating: 10/10
Why: I think it's self-explanatory. It's cats, you just have to find them.

Andarilho
Rating: 9/10
Why: You can hit a cow at Mach 1. -1 point for how difficult the chicken is to find.

League of Angels: Pact
Rating: 4.5/10
Why: It has been quite a while since I played this game... or at least the variation of it. A long time ago, when this mortal body had fewer pounds and healthy mental life, there was a game similar to it on Facebook. I enjoyed it back then, so why not give it a try and play it again, right? Right...

I can't say it's a bad game or a fantastic one. I can say with certainty now that my younger self was way too easy to entertain. It's at the line where you like it as much as disliking it. There's an old game mechanics, funny-looking women, pay offers every metric meter, and a way to keep entertained by many different mini-games. The server where I play is "Hot", so there will be even more features soon. That's nice. Since it's an idle game, it pretty much lives its own life as usual.

What I hate, however, is the GUI itself. Like, it's way too apparent this game is more for phones than computers. Also, the whole P2W concept is way too visible in this game. That's a big "ugh" from my side. Also, why disable the screenshot function? Weird move.

Personal feelings aside, I think it's playable enough for a while, so give it a try, and see for yourself.

THE BUTTON by Elendow
Rating: 10/10
Why: No one will read this review or care about it, so here's a short history about buttons, according to JSTOR Daily[daily.jstor.org]:

Electric push buttons, essentially on/off switches for circuits, came on the market in the 1880s. As with many technological innovations, they appeared in multiple places in different forms. Their predecessors were such mechanical and manual buttons as the keys of musical instruments and typewriters. Before electricity, buttons triggered a spring mechanism or a lever.

The word “button” itself comes from the French bouton, meaning pimple or projection, and to push or thrust forward. It’s impossible to pinpoint a single origin of the push button, writes Plotnick, but such interfaces included the “inanimate buttons that adorned clothing.” Between 1880 and 1920, hundreds of patent applications were made for “electric buttons” or “push-buttons.”

At the end of the nineteenth century, many laypeople had a “working knowledge not only of electricity, but also of the buttons they pushed and the relationship between the two,” according to Plotnick. Those who promoted electricity and sold electrical devices, however, wanted push-button interfaces to be “simplistic and worry-free.” They thought the world needed less thinking though and tinkering, and more automatic action. “You press the button, we do the rest”—the Eastman Company’s famous slogan for Kodak cameras—could be taken as the slogan for an entire way of life.

Firestone: Online Idle RPG
Rating: 9.5/10
Why:
- I spent 250 hours playing this game. Honestly, it's good. It's the type of game where you have no idea how to progress efficiently 90% of the time, but also a game where you can just relax, click on funny upgrades, throw away everything you did by doing prestige (and getting some boost), and go back to your job while heroes are suffering from the endless cycle of killing the same monsters and dying again and again.
- Community is helpful, sometimes weird, though (we are humans, of course, it's our mortal nature).
- An important thing to say about this game is how free to play this game is -- you don't have to pay your monthly salary only to progress a few waves further or get a good-looking avatar. That I like.
- 0.5 off from the rating only because I can't seem to finish all expeditions on time (*cough* skill issues *cough*).

Other than that, good job.

The Monster Inside
Rating: 10/10
Why: Interesting detective novel with plot twist at the end. Short, easy, and simple to finish, which keeps you entertained to read. Good job.

Never played the game, seems promising. Thank you, and good job.

Pacifish
Rating: 9/10
Why: Good thing to just relax or catch a dinner. Only disadvantage is that I need to work as well. Good job, anyway.
