Three big lists of useful software
by Victor Agreda, Jr. Mar 3rd 2006
Every day on digg there's
another list of freeware, games, or whatever. Well here's yet another list,
although this time there's three lists from the first I found. And for added fun, two of the three are scoured from the
rank and file of Something Awful contributors. The first is a bunch of useful Windows apps, the second is useful Linux apps, and the third is OS X (not Something Awful related). The Windows list
includes an entire category for Shiny Chrome, which are mostly mods and guages for Winders (including some app
launchers we might have missed on the launcher spree we went on a few weeks ago). Definitely a lot of great
software on this list. Sadly, the Linux list is lacking in content. Only two or three apps per category. I know there's
more than that folks... Of course, the Apple list is good and bad and ugly. I mean, obviously Microsoft Office is going
to be in there, but did it need it's own sub-category? Anyway, these lists are fun for about twenty minutes or so,
until you realize you've seen them all before (and only a couple were worth keeping). But there they are, ready for you
to show a less-aware friend who asks you, "where can I find another chat tool?"
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, ...
