Motor Storm is (finally) Coming

TLM was nice enough to gift this yesterday - a PS3 original I've been secretly wanting since I played it at I Politico's so many months ago. It's just a racing game, nothing special, but with all the free time I have these days (sarcasm), it's just the thing I needed.

Time Waster: Magic Pen

This one is very fun, very innovative, and potentially a BIG time waster, so be warned. The game is called Magic Pen, and you draw and erase lines, triangles, circles and other shapes onto the screen to manipulate an object across some flags. You can play it at MiniClip.com.

Magic Pen Collect the flags with the red ball to complete each level.

Play this free game now!!

Time Waster: Maukie the Cat

Thanks, WidgetBox. Now we have 3 cats.

Time Waster: Pac-Man

One of the classics is still the best, and is even available as a widget, though I decided to make it a post rather than a permanent part of the site in the name of productivity. Don't waste too much time, you have work to do!

PS3 Splurges

After the recent price drop a couple of weeks ago, I finally caved (to myself) and bought a PS3. Tonight, on our seemingly weekly trip to Target, I splurged some more and bought my first Blu-Ray movie. In fact, I ended up buying three of them...they had the "Spiderman" trilogy and I just couldn't resist.


Oh, and as if that wasn't enough, TLM noticed a Fantastic Four - Silver Surfer PS3 game on sale for $20, so I threw that in too (though the fact that it was 1/3 the usual price of games should have maybe persuaded me to leave it there).

Time Waster: Bible Fight

What is one of the busiest work weeks I've had this year sure to bring? A time waster of course, and in our internet-laced society (or, more specifically, on this blog) that means a web page with some Flash-y cartoon or game, ripe for hours and hours of procrastination goodness.

This time it's a game featured on the Adult Swim site called "Bible Fight". It's a standard one on one fighting game, except instead of Ryu, Guile or Zangief you choose from biblical characters such as Noah, Moses, and Jesus. You have your kicks, your punches, and of course your divine intervention.

If you're Christian and a little worried that this is on the blasphemous side of things, you might be right, but at least you can play Jesus and pound the crap out of Satan...

Time Waster: Bubble Trouble

This is maybe time waster of the year...

Time Waster: Line Rider

Thanks to AL-9000 for this one...this is a serious Time Waster, so be careful. "LineRider" is a beautifully simple concept, and one I wish I'd thought of myself. You draw a line, hit play, and watch a small tobogganer with a ski hat and a red scarf sled down your slope .The only complaint I have of it is that there is no apparent way to erase lines....you can only start over. Maybe that's part of the challenge, I guess.

The region in which you can draw lines seems endless, and you can shoot your Line Rider off into the void for a long time before trying to make him land. Try to make a loop-dee-loop (hint, you can't go through lines). Have fun and remember, you probably have better things to do.

Time Waster: Programming Language Inventor or Serial Killer?

You think it's easy, but how well can you tell them apart??

Time Waster: Reverse

This is amazingly challenging. I wish I could flip my monitor....[source]
