Cultspace: Because MySpace isn't enough of a cult already

by Jordan Running Jul 26th 2006

Feeling a little emptiness in your life? Is that space not being filled by MySpace, Orkut, or even Fuzzster? Try Cultspace, a new social networking hub for would-be cult leaders.. In case you've never started a cult before, Cultspace makes it easy: Just create an account and give your cult a name. Other Cultspace users can then read your cult's profile and religious texts and interact with it. You can approve or disapprove of other cults, declare war on other cults or make alliances, and rate them on a number of criteria (Good and Evil are mysteriously absent). Of course, the Cultspace FAQ takes every opportunity to emphasize that Cultspace is for parody and make-believe only.

Wow, that picture is definitely "Gary the Brickyard Preacher" who comes by our university, NC State.

Hey, this is my site.

I do want to emphasize here that although the site is for fun, it is also for people who want to present a serious philosophy. Cultspace is what you make it.

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.
