World Wars Flash Game

Careful, World Wars is a great little flash game, similar to Risk, that may keep you coming back for more—it’s very addictive.

The Bros Mario

You’ve listened to backwards music, now check out Jump on Mushroom, a mind-bending video game that’s played in reverse. Trust me when I say, it’ll force you to rethink the way you learned to play Mario Bros.

Play Auditorium

A beautiful physics flash game: Auditorium.

Whiteboard Tower Defense

It’s a terrible time waster, but if you’re looking to kill your afternoon, try Whiteboard Tower Defense.

Google Lively

I tried out Google’s new Second-Life clone, Lively. Never having played Second-Life, I’m not so sure what all the fuss is about, but just for kicks, embedded below is my Lively virtual room.

Update: Lively has been shut down.

Type Racer

Here’s a fun distraction for your Friday: Sign in, wait for the green light, and type as fast as you can.

I did pretty well with my average 65wpm speed.
