All your whining about the game won't load and you can't get your 5 points BOTD obscured the comment of one of the guys who repaired this game which told you how to. I have the game working, and I got the badge of the day. It's not a hard operation, you don't have to be an hacker. Here again: http://www.kongregate.com/forums/1-kongregate/topics/261015

The badge is actually one of the easiest ever. The challenge is getting the game to load. Apparently the domain name, www.gimme5games.com, doesn't resolve properly so add the line "216.104.46.66 www.gimme5games.com" to your /etc/hosts file to get the game to load. Someone posted this earlier this morning and that was how I got the IP address.

The really hilarious thing is, I already earned this badge (in 2010!), but because the game won't load the API won't report that fact to kong, so I would have to go through the whole process just to load the game and then immediately leave. NOT HAPPENING... 1/5

Great game to have a badge on. I'm supposed to take the time to figure out how to get it working first?? Forget it. (looks fun, make it work)

@Wyrd42. It should work in Windows 8, too. The problem with 8 is the fact that their Windows Defender cancels all changes to hosts (because generally changed hosts is a sign of malware), so hosts should be added to files excluded from check. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2764944/en

Wow, so many idiots in the comments. It takes exactly one minute to modify /etc/hosts and play the game, less than average time required to type stupid useless butthurt comment. Thanks to zAlbee and sensible part of Kongregate community for preserving this game for us via re-creating part of game files from scratch.

Hah, how does a website put a broken badge up for the featured badge of the day? Does kongregate even care anymore? do they actually see if the badge works?

They should make this badge hard to justify the effort needed to find a way to get the game to work and then completing level 5

That's a pity. A batch of the day game you can't possibly win because it doesn't start. I always try to win it. But for today this chance has been taken away from me. :(

i followed the instructions to get the game working and got the botd in just a few quick minutes! and i predict more butthurt people will angrily downvote this instead of accepting the truth of their overreaction! let's see how many butthurt downvotes i get this time!

I should not have to do any kind of steps to get games to work. If they do not work on their own it means they are broken. Broken things should be fixed to work properly on their own, or be thrown in the trash (removed). Kong, please the the second option.

I don't want to go thru any steps, just to play one simple game. If Kong can't fix it, please be so kind to remove it.

Guys, go to the topic linked in the first best comment, do the steps and it works! I had to go to my hosts file, add the line, go to their website, hold shift and press reload, then I got the message and the game works.

I am sorry gents. 2 days in a row promoting a game for the "Badge of the Day" with games that don't easily work is not a good thing. Props to those who have provided "work-a-rounds" however, it's just not the same.
