Test your batting swing
 
See http://www.ircuser.org/files/penguin.swf

Since baseball season is upon us, this is a timely link. My record is 587 ft. so far.

yellow 03-30-2004 08:26 PM

961.3 when I discovered this a couple weeks ago.

I cannot click on that link though.. if I do, bye bye 1 hour!

Oh! This is not the link I thought it was... lemme try and find one slightly more bloody.

Found it, the Rated-R version: http://andrewg1323.uk.ro/ping.swf

Phil St. Romain 03-30-2004 10:16 PM

Oh, that's awful, Yellow! :eek:

Thread title should be "Test YOUR batting swing." D'oh! :rolleyes:

Well it depends on whose links you're talking about, Phil's or mine. If you're talking about the bloody penguin, then keep trying.

Yellow, I am not talking about the bloody ones. That is just too cruel. :D

Penguin less gravity
Penguin Rocket

For those who love soccer, try keeping the ball up

Let's see here, considering it's April First what would be some good advice:
- Run Disk Warrior.
- Delete preferences.
- New Graphics Card - ATI cards have been shown to give about 3 feet more distance than comparable NVidia.
- New Mouse or just switch to USB Overdrive mouse software.
:-)

More seriously, you just need a good bounce or two.

By the way the penguin.swf file can be saved and played in Safari. No need to be on the Internet to play. Could be good for those long plane rides. :-)

Right I have tried all your suggestions and nothing helped. Now I have setup a new user and that also did not help. I got so frustrated that I just whiped my HD and reinstalled Panther with all Apps and Upgrades. Three hours further, a clean computer and my skills in penguin whacking have not improved. :confused: More suggestions are welcome to get over the 600 mark.

I Had It!!!
 
This is not my best yet, had a 1046 but when I tried to take a screen shot, I must have pushed the wrong buttons because it took me to another website.(I cried for 5 minutes :mad: ).
Anyway, this is a picture of my best since then, a wimpy 1001.8.

The mother-load!

It's probably a good thing that the mobile version isn't compatible with my phone.

Jay Carr 01-16-2008 03:36 PM

All I have to say about Extreme Penguin is that I have no idea how that penguin had so much blood in his head.

kel101 01-16-2008 03:38 PM

what mobile version??

There were links for mobile games on some of the pages that came up through Google. And I think on the original Yetisports site.
