Chrome Dino
Chrome Dino
the pinnacle of schadenfreude. we've reduced the last throes of the now-extinct dinosaurs down to some web browser game available at the mild inconvenience of the internet being down. arguably the worst entry on this list, it represents the darkest humanity has to offer. we mock the t-rex for not being able to join its airborne brethren, as we force it to manoeuvre around each and every one of them. we revel in its powerless and futile struggle to overcome its pathetic fate of running headfirst into a cactus. we do all this while absent-minded of the dino's actual feelings - all that concerns us is when the internet is going to be back up. (Lot0)
