Find your happy hour with Unthirsty

by Chris Brentano Mar 18th 2007

It's been a long day, 5 o'clock is rounding the corner, and nothing could sound better than getting together with some friends and quaffing a pint, right? Unthirsty helps you find the nearest and greatest happy hour based on your location and preferences. In my opinion, this is a home run Google Maps mashup that is done right. Need your nacho fix? Want to find a pub with Wifi? Looking for a cheap martini and outdoor seating? Check, check, checkity check.

With a clean interface, easy to use search, user comments, and a features key, they have seemingly covered all the bases. If you're already out with your friends and want to find the next ratskeller to wet your whistle at, their mobile site has you covered too. And, if you discover a new watering hole during your travels, you can submit it to their database.

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.
