FootieFox: Firefox extension to feed your World Cup obsession

by Jordan Running Jun 13th 2006

Yesterday I mentioned Microsoft's Soccer Scoreboard. If you prefer to take your sports scores in the form of a Firefox extension, there's FootieFox, an extension that will give you up-to-the-minute scores for today's matches. You can configure it for your preferred teams and leagues, and it will sit quietly in your Firefox statusbar displaying the most recent score, or all matches at the click of a mouse. It even has visual or audio notifications for when your team scores a goal.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
