Throw Paper! - Today's Time Waster

Throw Paper! Line Rider it ain't, but my roommates have been playing Throw Paper! for the last two hours, and there's no end in sight. I have no problem admitting that I've only been able to get 6 in a row - though it appears my step-sister is some kind of click-and-release freak because she's at 28.

Note: Submitting your score doesn't seem to work right now - I've already emailed the game author to see if it's fixable.

[Thanks, Chris!]

Pure Sudoku - Today's Time Waster

Sudoku
We have featured many a Sudoku game in the past few years, and here is yet another for Windows XP, aptly dubbed "Pure Sudoku." I like this one a bit. It is a free download, is fairly light-weight and features nice backgrounds and sounds that don't get in the way and aren't annoying. There are 43 different backgrounds that change automatically (if you care about that sort of thing), many difficulty settings, and over 20,000 puzzles to last you many years, or just one weekend if you are really bored and play really fast. Great for people who are snowed-in. The deluxe edition is only $9.99 (cheaper than most infomercials) and allows you to do more with Sudoku, like a hints feature, the ability to print puzzles, and 3X the number of backgrounds (woo-hoo) and much more. It is a fun little time-waster that already today I have found more addicting than I care to admit. Oops.

Thanks Mark for the tip!

In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. 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 ...
