Line Rider - Today's Time Waster
by Jordan Running Sep 26th 2006 at 3:40PM
Today's Time Waster isn't a game, per se, but it's a lot of fun. Line Rider is more of a physics toy. You start out with a blank white space and a line tool, and are encouraged to draw a diagonal line from the top left to the bottom right. What you're really doing is drawing a hill for a little scarfed figure to toboggan down. The physics seem reasonably accurate for a Flash game. You can send your little sledder careening off of jumps, but if the course is too rough he'll be thrown from his sled. Like I said, Line Rider isn't a game--there's no score, time limit, or any goal, but as a plaything it succeeds, allowing you to test your hill-engineering mettle with majestic jumps, or feed your sadistic side with sheer cliffs and unforgiving drops. There aren't a lot of options--just draw, clear, go, and stop (an eraser tool is sorely missed), but Line Rider does have a save option that lets you set aside your favorite lines for later.[Via Waxy.org]

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

So addictive. Great way to avoid doing productive work. And what's worse is all the addicts who have uploaded INSANE line rider videos to youtube.

It need a tool that allows you to clean a specific area. If you click "trush" you'll clean the whole circuit. But, it is a very very good Game.
It also lacks of the possibility of create a looping.
VERY VERY NICE & ADIECTIVE !!!

you CAN do loops.. make a jump, then start the loop after he jumps, make the down part of the loop go thru the gap. works great.
