Waste some time and toss the turtle

No, no, really... I'm not suggesting you head to the supplies cupboard and actually toss the turtle! It's a game! NO! Not the kind of game you play with friends while drunk! A Flash game! Adobe Flash! In your browser!

Toss The Turtle is the epitome -- the end of the line -- the ULTIMATE 'fire a canon ball as far as you can' game, a genre that you might remember from the (really) olden days. The basic premise is obvious: you gotta toss the turtle as far as you can.

But oh boy is it more complicated and involved and awesome than simply firing a canon. This could be significantly more than a 10-minute-time-waster, I assure you.

Warp Forest - Today's Time Waster

Warp ForestTo say the amount of time I killed yesterday playing Warp Forest is embarrassing would be an understatement. This action puzzler is, I think, the best Flash-based specimen of the genre I have ever played. In Warp Forest you drive a little car around a forest, and the goal of each level is to collect all of the keys on the screen and then return to the exit. Of course, it's not nearly as simple as that, because you have obstacles, locked gates, and hostile baddies to contend with, which make some of the levels mind-bogglingly difficult. As expected, most of the levels require you to do things in a very specific sequence, but what set this apart is the more action-y parts that demand quick, precise movements. On top of the rock-solid gameplay, nice graphis, and original puzzles, the game has a few nice touches rare among Flash games, including five game save slots and the ability to turn off the music or sound independently. Now, can anybody tell me how to beat level 24?

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

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, ...
