Digg fan brings back the Digg "Top Users" list

by Ryan Sullivan Feb 3rd 2007

Today it was announced that Digg.com founder Kevin Rose decided to take down the "Top Users" list in an attempt to deter "gaming" on the Digg site. It all makes sense to me, but one loyal fan decided to bring it back. And by twice daily compiling completely publicly available information, Christopher Finke has successfully brought back the list.

Christopher mentions that he is not seeking any monetary gain, but to just allow proper recognition for those diggers that are doing a lot of work. Feel free to visit the list as long as it is available. Christopher also mentioned that if Digg contacted him to take down the list that he would do so without any trouble.

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.
