Bloons - Today's Time-Waster


In the game Bloons, your goal is to pop all of the balloons on the screen by throwing darts at them. In each of the games 50 levels the balloons are arranged in a different order. With each level you are given a specific amount of darts to throw at the balloons (sometimes just one) and a target number of balloons you'll have to pop to move on to the next level.

Levels get progressively harder as you go on and start adding things like a bouncing wall, and walls you have to break through to get to the balloons. You also encounter "special balloons" which start effects such as giving you a boomerang rater than a dart to throw, or giving you the ability to throw three darts at once.

Double Wires- Today's Time Waster


Double Wires is a Spiderman type game where your only goal is to not fall down. You have two extendable wires that are released by clicking your mouse on the area you want tem to connect to. The man has a bit of a swing to him, so you have to watch out for missing your target or moving so quick that you have nothing else to grab onto. Simple, but addictive.

Shrink - Today's Time Waster

In the game Shrink you control the red ball. Your main goal is to avoid the black balls that come flying at you from every angle. Sounds easy enough right? The catch is that the red ball keeps getting smaller. You can make the red ball larger and earn points by touching a larger blue ball. The blue ball is also floating around making it difficult to hang on without accidentally getting in the way of a black ball and dying.

The black balls multiply after each level making it even harder to hang onto the blue ball and avoid shrinking into nothing. Difficult and totally addictive. Give it a try.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
