I'm going to be adding new games to the site almost daily for a long time. I have several hundred on my computer that need to be uploaded, but it's a pretty time-consuming process when you're on dial-up.
Meanwhile, play them all and let me know if there are any bugs. There may be.
If you have any games that you'd like to see put on the site, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Also, tell your friends to come. The more, the merrier.

Our Virus Tournament ended with Liz (that's me!) as the champion! See the post in the Entertainment section for the results.
The next tournament began this morning and will run until 6 p.m. EDT on Saturday, July 21. The new game will be Yeti Olympics and everyone gets two tries.
If enough people start to enter the tournaments, we're going to try to start offering prizes to the winners.
Enjoy, and play the tournament!
Downtime fixed; arcade gets tournaments!

Dammit.
To the few of you who still frequent the site: I apologize for the recent downtime. Dunno what the problem was, but I finally tracked down a fix.
You'll also notice that the arcade is getting some attention in the way of a long, long overdue face lift. In addition to the (much needed) cosmetic fixes, the arcade now allows folks to participate in tournaments. I plan to have at least one per week, and I'd love to give out prizes.
Real prizes.
I'm talking about cash or video games or iTunes gift cards or things that people would actually care about winning. But to do something like that, I'd need paypal donations (send money to michaelthemoon@gmail.com), or I'd need to do some kind of entry fees (a dollar per player?).
Let me know what you think.
And let me know what other changes you'd like to see to the site in the future. Other than the layout. I'm rather fond of this design, so it's going to stick around for a while.
As for the first tournament, log in, click the "Games" link, and go to the "Tournament" section. Here's a direct link: Tournament link.
This first tournament is "Virus," a puzzle game. Join and play! I'll leave it running through Sunday, ending it around 9 p.m. EDT on Sunday, July 15.
For the time being, I've set it up so that only administrators can create new tournaments, but that's apt to change once I figure out what I'm doing.
Major updates coming

Almost a year ago, I posted that I would be making a nifty homepage for the site.
Then I got sidelined by some pretty major things going on in my life, such as a career change. But that's an excuse, and excuses are for littly nancy boys.
Anyhow, with teaching comes much downtime during the summer months. And with downtime comes (finally) major updates to the site.
You'll be seeing some major changes to the homepage, and I'll be resubmitting the site to Google and the other search engines since they've forsaken us -- er, me. I can't really speak in pluralities anymore since everyone is gone.
The homepage is going to look pretty and will have several cool features that'll make you say, "Damn, I want Oh-Snap.org to be my homepage!"
I'll be announcing the possible partnership with another gaming site in the coming months, which should benefit both my site and my pal's.
I'll be adding new flash games to the arcade soon and re-organizing old ones.
The photo gallery works just fine, so I won't update it. But you should use it.
I think I'll start using the front page as a blog until people start using the site again. Or stop altogether. Whichever.
But most of all, the forum should be working top-notch again.
