Ignore all your unwanted Facebook invites with one click

Would you like to be in a wagon on the Oregon Trail? What about sending all of your friends virtual cupcakes? Maybe pretend you're a pirate or a Jedi? No? How do you feel about comparing all your movie and music tastes? All of your friends to determine who is in fact the "#1 Best Shopping Companion?" Still no? Don't worry you can say no today and we'll make sure someone asks you again tomorrow.

If your popularity has earned you not only a good amount of Facebook friends, but also a good amount of unwanted invites to Facebook applications you have no interest in using then we have something for you. Ignore All is a bookmark you can add to your browser that makes it easy to say no to all your unwanted Facebook invites.

The idea is pretty simple, when you have your applications request page open click on the bookmark and it will automatically click the "Ignore" buttons on all your application requests while keeping your friends requests, event invites, and group invitations. Pretty simple in design and execution, but if you get as many application requests as we do on a regular basis then it can be a huge time saver. Check out a video of IgnoreAll in action here.

Facebook was once a place of refuge from the assault and battery on your eyeballs that is Myspace, but increasingly that safe place is becoming more and more like its most loved and despised competitor.

All we know is, the next person to "Super Poke" us is getting it back, right in the eye.

Graveyard Shift - zombie-busting Time Waster

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 ...
