Arrested Development chooser - Mac Time Waster

I have to admit, this is probably the most self-indulgent Time Waster ever (and we can be pretty self-indulgent), but as a huge fan of the too-quickly canceled "Arrested Development," I could not resist.ADchoose is a stand alone Mac application (though it is written in Python so porting it would just be a matter of compiling against a different binary) that does exactly one thing: it recommends what episode of "Arrested Development" you should watch.

If you are a big fan of the Bluth Company, give ADchoose a try...with club sauce!
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.

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, ...
