Stop stealing my Letters!!! - Time Waster
by Christina Clark Aug 6th 2008 at 10:00AM
Remember those refrigerator magnets you had when you were a kid that were all letters? Letters is the same concept in your browser with one fun twist. Instead of just you playing with the letters you have to share with whoever else is logged in. When I tried it there were 12 people sharing letters.
Every time I got close to spelling out "Download Squad Rules" someone kept stealing my letters, moving them around and trying to put them into their own words. Of course when someone named Kevin tried to proclaim he was god, I took the time to change it to goofy which seemed to annoy him since the next thing he came up with was who?
There were plenty of people using their letters to spell out naughty words and plenty of others who would immediately try and change those naughty words into something nicer.
See what you can spell before someone steals your letters.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

It took me about 10 minutes to get all the letters together and then keep taking the R back from the person who was stealing it from me. And, I had a really quick finger ready for the screen capture as soon as I got it all in place.

It just highlights whats wrong with the internet. People would rather make words with the letters you are using than make words with the hundreds of other letters on the table, all just to annoy you.

Canonical example of the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory, I think.

It depends on a few things. If could have gone really fast or really slow.
I have a Tablet PC, so when I am on there I am a lot faster than most of the people. but if you get a bunch of people, and they all grab a letter, you can spell what ever you want :).
also, while I was on, there wasn't 1 single "naughty word" :D
Tablet PCs FTW

I thought I would lose interest in this game after a minute, but it held my attention for a solid 10 minutes. It was mostly chaos, but someone spelled YO, so I added DAWG, then someone else added HOLLA and finally someone else added AT YA. :-)
