Unleash nature's icy fury in Effing Hail - Time Waster
by Lee Mathews Apr 16th 2009 at 4:00PM
Hail can be a real bugger. In real life, we usually only have to put up with a few dents in our vehicles. In Effing Hail, on the other hand, the frozen menace is capable of a whole lot more destruction.
The goal is to harness the power of wind to increase the size (and destructive force) of hailstones and redirect it toward various targets: homes, skyscrapers, planes, weather balloons, satellites, and even pedestrians. It's trickier than it sounds, and surprisingly addictive.
For big damage, you'll guide a stone as high as you can - into the Effingsphere, if possible - to create a gargantuan ball of icy devastation. For the record, a 32-meter sphere is just about enough to bring down an airplane or satellite in a single blow. Pedestrians are tricky targets, and you'll really have to work to hit them.
At the end of your session, you'll get to see your accomplishments displayed as a chart on an imaginary newsclipping. Sweet.

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, ...
