Frustrating, yet totally unproductive.

There is no WAY people got those high scores without cheating.

Indeed.

You can't even get from one side of the screen to the other in 4 seconds, let alone maneuver. It's ridiculous. Though, it is fun just to play them as puzzle games - rather than timed ones.

Can't clutter the boards with time wasters, so I'll bump and old one.

Just what the world needed... digital whack-a-mole

Whack-a-mole's hard when you have no numberpad on your laptop keyboard.

In any case I should really get back to my Literature paper (on Virginia Woolf's political views as shown in Mrs. Dalloway) Ergh.

Here's another one. (By the way, as of right now I have the high score, 55.471)

Digital whack-a-mole is no fun. You can't use the super-secret strategy available in RL.

Oh, great. I was the first one to break 55, and now someone has broken 56.

Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :

Woo! I got to 52!

That's horrible.

(My most recient amazing time-waster is text twist which is kind of like Boggle, but wicked annoying because it's a free trial so you have to wait for it to reload every time you loose.)

You know whack-the-penguin? Well, now there's four (4) Yeti Sports games.

The first game feels just like backing with a trailer using a new car.

Posted by ludosti (Member # 1772) on :

Thanks a lot Feyd. I am now addicted to that game!!

Alright, time to get ludosti addicted to a new game...

And this one really is pretty addicting.

Ah... reminds me of the old Subspace game. [Wink]

Posted by SoberTillNoon (Member # 6170) on :

That game will haunt me until the end of my days.

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

Feyd,
This game reminds me a lot of the old game Racko -- which we still play at home a lot. In fact, it is identical, except this is on computer instead of with cards...

That is the best game ever. More or less.
