I Hate Clowns - Today's Time Waster

i hate clowns gameLet me preface by saying more than clowns, I hate wacky browser plug-ins. So unfortunately, you're going to need one of those wacky plug-ins to play this game. If that's a deal-killer, sorry. In this case, it might be worth it. I Hate Clowns is a simple game: throw metal pie plates at ragdoll clowns as they fly through the air. It's a simple game, and tons of fun (especially if you really do hate clowns). So why the plug-in? First, it's Virtools Web Player, which is only for Windows, so that makes me sad. But if you read the story of I Hate Clowns here, you'll realize why they chose that plug-in. The game was merely an exercise, and the development platform was an easy target. I mean, it took less than 10 hours to make this... So OK, I'll forgive them— this time. But if anyone makes a port to Java or something cross-platform, let me know. Because even Linux users hate clowns.
