Ripholes in Rubbish is a game designed by six programmers in the Computer Science: Computer Game Design program at UC Santa Cruz during their senior design sequence. The sequence is a three quarter long program that teaches the students how to work in team, giving them experience in an environment similar to that of the industries.
The world of Ripholes in Rubbish takes place in a sketch book. The player plays as a sketched avatar in an magical animated land. Her goal is to find her lost friend, Arky.
Ripholes’ core mechanic is the player’s ability to rip and paste level elements and other game characters (doods, short for doodles). Although the player can move and jump freely, they will not be able to complete all the levels without using their ripping ability.

I was recently looking for a way to grab a few systems for cheap to do some new mods and tests/reviews on. Well, just when I thought I was going to have to bite the bullet and go out and pay full price for them I found an alternative. It's a company called Rewards1 and they have a pretty easy way to get Games, Consoles, MP3 Players, Microsoft and Wii points, Cash and just about anything else you can think of.
Just follow the link below, sign up, and then complete some surveys. You can also refer friends to make cash that you can have them send to you or use to buy whatever you want. They have a populated forum that you can visit to get tips and help from veteran users. Some of their long-time users are making a ton of money now without doing anything (from referrals). I am usually skepticle of services like these, but I have to say that I have honestly not had to spend a single penny, I just go on the site and complete some free offers and surveys once every few days and I have already gotten several systems and games totally free.
If I post it here you can always trust that it's a good link, I don't mess around with scams and the like. So check it out, try some free offers, visit their testimonials page to see what others have won, and if you don't like it no harm done because it doesn't cost anything. I have prepared a detailed guide that will walk you through the whole process, if you'd like to have me send it to you just send an email to r1offersguide@gmail.com .

I had been talking to my husband some time about this game, because he had mentioned he had never played it before, and as I may or may not have mentioned before, this was one of my all time favorite games when I was a child. I must have played straight through it over 5 or 6 times, picking it up and dropping it over the years since then until with much displeasure I had a system that it would no longer run on.
So one day while I was wasting my time away on twitter, I began to hear an all too familiar game intro. My husband, who is quite possibly the most fucking awesome man in the world, found a program in which Kings Quest VI could run in Dos mode called Dos Box. I was ecstatic. After thanking him profusely I immediately stopped what I was doing so that I could play, practically bursting with happiness at getting to relive my old memories, and very curious as to whether the game would be as fun as how I had remembered it. In fact, it seems that I may have let my mind deteriorate a bit from playing to many reflex catering fps’, because much of the puzzles in the game were incredibly more difficult than I had remembered.
