Voki - make spooooky avatars

by Dolores Parker Oct 31st 2007

Voki is a site which allows you to create and personalize avatars with your own voice. You can make your "voki" look like you or choose different characters, animals, monster, anime, etc. After you waste tons of time creating your avatar and making it say ridiculous things, you can then embed the code on your blog or website (we're not saying you should, but it is an option you may want to avoid).

For Halloween, and since time is running out, Voki has ready made spooky avatars which you can email your friends. See below.

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.
