R2-D2 Translator - Star Wars Time Waster

As a protocol droid, C-3PO was the only character in Star Wars who ever really understood what poor R2-D2 was trying to say. But, with this neat little R2-D2 translator, you can speak R2's language, or at least get a good audio file of it. Put in any word, and it'll be translated into droid-speak for you to download as a ringtone-ready mp3 file.

The most disappointing limitation is the 30 character limit on text. I mean, come on: you can't even put in "the Force is strong with this one!" However, if you have some audio editing software, you could certainly splice multiple Mp3s together to make one longer ringtone. If it's not edited exactly, no big deal. To be perfectly honest, only C-3PO is going to know what your R2 ringtone is really saying.

Yoda's out to kick some butt in Path of the Jedi - Time Waster


My 4-year-old son is completely enamored with all things Star Wars right now, so when we stumbled across Path of the Jedi on Cartoon Network's web site the other day he just about fell off his chair in excitement.

In addition to playing as Yoda, you can also wield your saber as Ahsoka or Anakin, and there are three episodes to play: Shadow of Grievous, Assassin's Snare, and Ambush on Vassek. Each one is fairly massive, so be prepared to wait for about a minute the first time you play.

As you play, you'll pick up new force abilities - just keep an eye on your meter, or you may wind up powerless at a critical moment. Grab glowing spheres as they appear to boost energy,health, or gain extra lives. There are plenty of nefarious enemies to dispatch, and Yoda's dash is pure awesome.

Nothing like killing a little time with a few Jedi mind tricks!

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, ...
