Video downloads and Blobby
We really appreciate your freeware suggestions so keep them coming. The latest from the suggestion box includes a video downloader and a game called Blobby.
iSkySoft downloads FLV videos from YouTube and other video-sharing sites, and plays them on your Mac. This could come in handy if you wanted to watch a video at a later time on a Mac that doesn’t have an Internet connection. I was put off, though, by the app’s insistence that I provide it with my administrative-level password. The security bells and whistles went off in my head, and I never did try it out.
Blobby is the type of game we normally don’t cover at thriftmac, because it’s played online only. That said, there is a Mac version of the software needed to play, which is always nice. And it looks like it could be a lot of fun, with opponents playing volleyball matches on the Blobby league servers. There is a chat function and a forum, so players have a chance to take part in the Blobby community.
