Topical Time Waster: throw eggs at Steve Ballmer!

No, today's Time Waster (which we've mentioned before) is not likely to be the most awesome gaming experience you've ever had on your computer. It is, however, a fun way to vent your frustration at the tidal wave of Windows 7 blogging going on today (guilty).

Before you ask - yes, this really happened and there's a video after the break for your enjoyment. Check the YouTube page for some more insight into what motivated the barrage.

It's an all-out Egg Attack, y'all!

Hungarian student throws eggs at Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer

OK let's be honest. Who hasn't wanted to throw eggs at Steve Ballmer at some point.

The whole thing was caught on video. Note that Steve Ballmer was not harmed in the making of this video, but several eggs lost their shells.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
