More Head-in-Hole Fun With Yearbook Yourself - Time Waster
by Lee Mathews Aug 24th 2008
Ever wonder what former U.S. President George Bush would have looked like as an early-80's high school senior? Well, wonder no more!
A few quick clicks with Yearbook Yourself and you can transform yourself into a horrendously coiffed teenager from 1950 to 2000. FYI before you head over: this one's a marketing gimmick for a group of malls, so the stores you see listed on the yearbook pages take you to badly-designed mall directory web pages.
Still, it's good for a laugh. Center and scale your image, rotate it if you need to, and you're good to go. Images with glasses are particularly amusing, as they tend to appear at a slight angle - giving your photo that hapless, disheveled look. And don't feel limited by the gender selection - go ahead and do the ol' switcheroo for even more photo fun!

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, ...
