<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.frostfight.com' target='_blank'>http://www.frostfight.com</a><br /><br /></div><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/augusto-20061214-frostfight.gif" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/><br /><br />A few months back I decided to step down from the crazy world of cellular sales and ease back into the realm of Web Development, which has always been one of my number one passions (not including Smartphones ;)). After a few weeks and a bit of searching, I landed a job at an awesome marketing firm here in downtown Portland. In return for all of my hard work over the past few months they let me be a model for a Snowball fighting game called <a href="http://www.frostfight.com">Frost Fight</a>. This is just a simple Flash game we created to go out to our clients as a Holiday card. As you can see from the picture above, I’m the left handed guy with the blue jacket!<br /><br />While being in a video game is pretty cool, it isn’t as cool as knowing that all of your family members, friends and fellow Smartphone Thoughts read can have hours upon hours of amusement pelting you with snowballs all winter long! So what are you waiting for? Throw a few snowballs at me, assault a yeti or two and beat up a couple of snowmen! :D

...he'll say something like "yea flash doesnt show my lightening reflexes and perfectly formed spheres of death too well"

i was so just going to say that! as good as flash is, im just way to smooth to catch my fast and super quick motions. when they played back the video, i was really just a blur on it! thats how fast i am. they had to draw me in from still shots! ;)

How are you making the snowballs? :? I live in the North East and we haven't had snow in days, plus it is 50+ degrees. :(

I'd pay to see snowballs right now. At 39C (102F), the only thing I'm seeing is scorched sand. :(

oh how the grass is always greener... or in this case, the sand is always yellower ;)

i would happily switch spots with you! right now its cold in portland, about two degrees F away from snowing, and now its raining except its not cold enough to freeze so its all slushy and very unpleasent. :(

Yeah, I can confirm that bug - it says "YOU ARE RANKED #1." Also, I just got a score of 8200 (should be second place as of now), but it doesn't give me the option to submit my score. I did submit a previous score though, so maybe it did it automatically? Hmm.

Entertaining game though. :D

i let the programmers know about the ranking system. hopefully one of them will fix it today. the good news is, this game does wonders for the self esteem, you know, with being ranked #1 and all ;)
