Stick Games

Today we would like to turn your attention to stick games and stick videos that can be found all over the internet.  There is much that could be said about this media, and I hope that our insights on the matter prove to interest you and make you think about how they describe a portion of the cultural climate on the web.  We can also throw in there how to compare this game genre with other popular categories to get a taste of where they are in the ranks of free online games.

Much can be said about stick games as they relate to stick videos.  One way we can discuss this is to compare how readily available they both are on the internet.  Let’s start our discussion with where we can find these kind of videos.  If you want to find stick videos that are actually funny and creative, you have to go to a few lingering sites online.  That is about as much as you will find with which you will be satisfied even if you try other, more popular video outlets (and I think we all know what I’m talking about).  But as far as stick games are concerned, if you want to find really good ones, all you need to do is make your way to your favorite search engine, and you will get a whole lot of sites that can gratify your stickperson wants.  So it should be rather cut and dry that while stickmen made it into the limelight through viral videos for a time, they have done bored people everywhere a huge favor and have advanced themselves onward to games.  Lots and lots of games.  So if you ever want to waste a lot of time while you are chained to a computer, find yourself some stick games, and you might be surprised by how much simply animated and gory, cartoony attributes go together so well to establish a flash gaming category.

Now let’s compare stick games with other game niches. When it comes to such a general game type like this, I would like to suggest that where there is a demand for such material, there will be people out there to accommodate for these wants.  Besides, there are no rights that can be infringed upon by developing stick games.  So basically anybody is allowed to make any number of games with the characteristics that are shared in this genre.  Nobody needs to walk on eggshells in fear of infringing on protected material while trying to come up with as many cool ideas as possible for goofy flash games that people will want to waste their time on. So now we have a broad sense of why stick games have their place in the world of flash gaming and how they can compete with the other, very different categories on the web.

With that said, we understand that you can only spend so much time with the video portion of stick media, but just think of what can happen when you put stickmen in games!  You can experience a game once, or you could play it through several times, try to get better scores each time, and see if you can outrank your friends with your highest score.  Furthermore, you don’t simply watch the stickmen die, you get to have a hand in the whole ordeal.

Now we have compared where we find stickdeath videos with where we can find stick games.  We have also proven how much better stick games are than their flash movie counterparts.  Give these games a shot the next time you wish to kill some time!
