We think we just saw Ashton Kutcher, cuz you just got Netflix'd!

Punk'dNetflix users are in an uproar, and rightfully so.

If you're not familiar with what Netflix is, then sorry...please move along.

Kidding...you can rent movies online, and you can create a queue of what you want to see, and they'll mail them to your house as they're available. It's like an autopilot feature and it frakkin rocks.

A few months ago the company put out an even cooler feature that let Netflix account holders create multiple queues under one account. So basically your baby daughter, mom, uncle Steve, and your parrot Whiskers could have their own queue of movies that they want to see.

Such a time saver, such a great function that really reminds you why you use and love (and pay for) Netflix.

Don't go and try to sign up just for that feature though, because Netflix just announced that they're taking it away.
You read it right...do not pass go, do not collect 300 movies. Gone, nada, zip, outro, peas out., Seacrest OUT!

This is what folks are in an uproar about regarding this:
  • The feature was just introduced and now it's gone
  • The sub queues will be deleted September 1st
  • You can't migrate those sub queues into your main queue...so basically all that time you spent building them? WASTED!
But it's ok, they'll email you your queue for you to enter it back in...manually.

Here's the email from Netflix:


Wow, way to irritate the people who pay for your service Netflix!!!!!

Why should we have to make separate accounts now and pay differently for them when we were given this feature to spend time on? Have you ever spent time with your Netflix queue? We have. And we've spent hours on it. Who doesn't want Rocky III at the top and on it's way ASAP?

What say you? Are you a Netflix customer? Are you crabbypatty about this? Be heard!

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

CiviballsI 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.
