Hate Linux? Bash penguins for distance - Time Waster
by Lee Mathews Feb 13th 2009 at 2:00PM
If you're in the mood for some in-browser shenanigans this afternoon and feeling a bit wound up, Bloody Pingu Throw may be just the thing to help you work out that excess stress. A little warning: there's more than a touch of cartoon violence and bloodshed ahead.
You control a Yeti wielding a spiked club the size of something a character from Final Fantasy would brandish. Click your mouse to stand ready, and a precariously perched penguin will swan-dive down to you.
Wait for it...wait for it...Now, click again to swing that club!
Make solid contact, and you'll drive the little bugger hundreds of feet, leaving a trail of blood of Pythonesque proportions. Misfire, and he'll either land at your feet or be instantly smashed to itty bitty Tux chunks.
Let's see who can put up the best distance - it's not like you actually want to be productive on a Friday afternoon anyway.
Thanks, @mantia! I think.

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, ...

This thing is like a hundred years old. Still fun though.

Any chance the devs could release version 2.0 with little Sidney Crosby jerseys on the penguins. Would make them so much more fun to smash. Of course, they'd be whining at the refs the whole time they fly through the air...
