Go on a Redneck Rampage at Comedy Central

What a crazy couple of months. Game addiction, violence in games, game ratings legislation, game bans, aliens using games to fatten us up before invading and canning us like Spam. Okay, one of those isn't true (I'm hoping "game addiction"), but it's Friday, time to relax, and how better than with a couple casual rounds of Comedy Central's Redneck Games 2.

In Deer Stacker, you have to move a truck back and forth with your arrow keys to catch as many "flung" deer as possible. Yes, flung. The deer--mostly a bunch of dopey bucks--come stumbling off a cliff, are caught in a catapult, then hurled headlong into the air. Your goal is to keep 'em stacking in your pickup bed. As the stack grows, beware mud-balls, which spawn "bonus" sheep or buffalo, but occasionally what look like saw-blades and of all things, refrigerators, both of which decimate your pile of whitetail booty.

Actually Deer Stacker's only kind of fun for the first few levels, then it gets boring.

Acrobatic Mud Diving, on the other hand, rules. Guiding a fuzzy looking, big-bellied, long-haired, red-capped guy-in-a-wife-beater named Eric, you have to hit arrow key patterns in sequence (completed by tapping the space bar) to execute moves like "Yepee Roll," "Camel Spin," "Moonwalk," "Striptease," and "Redneckboard 1080." Eric dives off a cliff whose height varies, initially climbing until you hit level 12 or 13, then dropping in level increments of 100 feet (the moves get increasingly more complex). If you fail to rack up enough move-based points when you ker-splash in the mud at the bottom, you lose.

As of this posting, I'm up to level 18 with 579,272 points and counting.
