Annoying waste of time contest

I posted this elsewhere - but it failed to engender the type of response I was hoping for. So - here it is for you folks:

It's: Annoying yet addictiveGame Time!

Try:
The Copter Game - best score - 1250
Curve Ball - best score - level 8 - can't remember the exact score
Defend Your Castle (this is probably the most "stragely satisfying" game of the bunch) - best score - level 18 - can't remember the exact score - then the giants came!
and yet another
Mini Golf Game - best score - 6 under par in a miraculous showing - not sure I can ever top that

Now - get out there and WASTE SOME TIME

And if Cakewalk ever posts a -18 on that golf game - he's cheating for sure.

AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! (heaving sigh of relief) - now THAT felt good.

But seriously - those are addictive and fun aren't they? I think curve ball is the most addictive.

Let's see the scores people!

OK - I tried playing the castle game but I'm not getting anywhere. Do you just keep putting the little people into the castle? I don't see a red flag either.

The rules are listed on the page if you click on the HELP as soon as the game comes up. Basically - you throw the dudes into the air, they fall and go squish. Read the HELP for the more intricate details. I started playing for a while before I read the instructions and after I read them it made a big difference in how I played.

"Guide" is a drop down menu at the top of every page

from that menu choose "Activities"

Ah - I see. Silly me. Interesting games. Not quite as addictive as others I've played, but at least you get the satisfaction of having your high score posted.

ya I agree

the integration with the FLASH games is underway. the guys that wrote that module are having trouble transferring the high score. if I had the time I'd show them how to do that, it's hell learning the code but once you understand it it's not so bad. Unfortunately it's like teaching somebody to type, it's pure frustration in the beginning. Then becomes second nature

If that happens - that would be WAAAAAAYYYYYY cool. Of course, I'd never get any actual work done any more - but...what the hell...I'd be haveing fun.

for 4 months I played the Hexxagon game(main menu > activities)
and just now got the top score of 58

I NEVER EVER NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER want to play another on-line game

so then I got to thinking, you know I've never really been a video game player of sorts
how in the heck did this all start
then I remembered... dear ol' olesma's "it's Annoying yet addictive Game Time!"

yes I realize it's a boring little slow paced othello game, but whew

I declare
NO MORE :sweat:
give me a simple addiction like cocaine or alcohol, but NO MORE GAMES :sweat:

Well, then you certainly won't want to click here, or here, or here, but especially not here.

No thanks necessary - just trying to help.
