The Daily Show, Colbert Report come to Hulu

by Brad Linder Jun 10th 2008

It might be time to give up your cable box (If you live in the US anyway). Two of the most popular shows on Comedy Central are coming to Hulu. Sure, you could already watch full length episodes of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report at the Comedy Central web site, but we're big fans of one-stop shops around here. And as of today, you can find these programs along with episodes of The Office, Heroes, Battlestar Galactica, and Starsky & Hutch all in one place. What more could you need?

While Hulu started out as a partnership between Fox and NBC, the company has been steadily adding content partners over the last few months. While CBS, ABC and the CW are nowhere to be seen, you can find some popular TV shows and movies from networks including Sony, MGM, and Warner Brothers.

Hulu will also be adding PBS content later this month, with shows including Nova, Carrier, Scientific American Frontiers, and Wired Science.

Always seems like some of the most popular shows on hulu are Arrested Development, Family Guy, 30 Rock & SNL. Luckily these are my favorite shows on TV so hulu has become my favorite site on the web. What a wonderful idea.

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.
