Shvoong Homework - It's for kids!
If you've been looking for a way to get your kids to hate you, we are proud to inform you that the wait is over. It's called Shvoong Homework and it's worse than detention. Calling itself "the world-wide notebook for all your school needs" it fails to actually address any of them.It begins innocently enough. You sign up for a Shvoong Homework account, give them your e-mail and nickname, and you're ready to Shvoong with the best of them. You are then presented with three options: edit your timetable, edit your notebooks, or connect with your friends that also use Shvoong Homework.
There are so many things wrong with this picture it's hard to know where to begin. The timetable is a virtually worthless feature because kids memorize their class schedule within a week anyway. The notebook feature is an awkwardly implemented document editor and homework uploader (and has a little image of Cartman smiling at you - we suppose that means it's kid friendly). As for the friends feature, supposedly you can share your homework answers with other friends. Great. Have your kids spend their time uploading their homework to Shvoong Homework instead of actually doing it.
And if that isn't enough to get your kids to beg you to punish them with anything, but please, not the Shvoong, then the made-in-2001 design and horrible interface will turn them into straight A students. Oh yes, it's still in beta, but you probably shouldn't get your hopes up.

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 ...
