Wrapping your mind around a simple game like 99 Bricks is harder than you might imagine. The object of the game is to build the highest possible tower using only 99 pieces. Sounds easy enough, but you're playing with Tetris pieces and distinctly non-Tetris physics. If you screw up, you don't just leave gaps that you could have used to score points, you cause your whole tower to wobble and collapse.
Pieces also don't lock to a grid in 99 Bricks, the way they do in Tetris. You can wind up with pieces slanted diagonally, and there's an edge of the board that your toppled bricks can fall off of. 99 Bricks is kind of like Jenga, in that it's almost as satisfying to watch your tower crumble as it is to play seriously. Once you get the hang of the way the pieces behave, it's an addictive little game.

Ahh, the great media hype train that is the 'Digital Divide'. At least we've moved past the black vs white, or the rich vs poor aspect of this. Still, when it comes down to it, who cares. Some people are into computers/internet, some people are not. Who cares.

Funny none of my household's plants are connected to the Internet. They must be far behind the times.
