[brightpearl]

^oooh, tricky, but I'm improving.

I like this site www.eyemaze.com
It's not very well organized, but there's a list of games over on the left, most of which are some form of Grow. I particularly enjoy this one Grow Island (http://shingakunet.com/special/10054301/0285/index.html)...if you click in a certain order, all manner of funny business goes on.

[brightpearl]

^gorgeous, my son loves it too

[Tunesmith]

^ I showed it to the kids I was babysitting for last night, and they sat transfixed for an hour. :)

Check out the sequel, it's almost as good.

[brightpearl]

^we did already, had to buy chapter 2..:D

[Tunesmith]

chain factor http://www.sketchzilla.com/madlibs/pill.gif (http://chainfactor.com/)


How to Play:
Use your mouse to drop discs into the grid.

The Main Idea:
Whenever the number on a disc matches the size of the row or column that disc is in, it will disappear.

See if you can clear the board, or just try to survive as long as possible before filling the grid.

i am rubbish at it but i like the nice music



.

[Brynn]

me too - 86,324!:p

[zero]

yeh but..i only play so that i can hear the music nice soothing music - the genre is ambient/jazz/plinkyplonk/piano/toy

[Brynn]

with a little touch of George Clooney romantic comedy thrown in
itsa verrra nice

[brightpearl]

^Reminds me of the soundtrack to the remake of The Thomas Crown Affair. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0KK0msnLhw)
(this is a total spoiler, btw, don't watch if you haven't seen it)

[Frieda]

that chain factor game is too addictive-- i play too long and then when i stop playing i notice the world has square shapes everywhere. my brain plays tricks on me! :eek:

the music is too hypnotic actually.
when I think of all the works of genius, the letters, the housecleaning, the job applications i could be writing.

it makes me think of spring and newspapers

[trisherina]

That is some unusual game background music. It sounds like something you'd hear in an adult education elearning module. My big current timewasters are still Rock Band and now head-to-head Puzzle Quest, but you never know when something like this could find a void to fill.

falling sands game (http://www.heavygames.com/fallingsandgame/showgame.asp)

[trisherina]

^^ rat man plays that for hours and hours

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

http://www.channel4.com/history/microsites/C/city-of-vice/game/bow-street-runner/game.html

"Bow Street Runner" is set in London’s Covent Garden in the 1750s and depicts a time when crime and vice in the city had hit such levels that the locals magistrates began to introduce the first instances of physical policing of law and order. Each episode of the game will lead the player to explore different crime scenes, collecting evidence, solving puzzles, interviewing characters and presenting the case to the magistrate for judgement.
This game is based on the Channel 4 five-part series "City of Vice".
Bow Street Runner is designed to be historically accurate and therefore
the game’s content and its setting may not be suitable for
younger players!

chain factor: 208,120 + 4:07 am = droopy next day minus any real work :mad:

I hat that game.
I suck tiny rubbishy booklet bits at it.

Okay. Here's one more my speed that I happen to excel in because it's for elementary school children - if il ratletto plays falling sands, I'm sure he plays this one on the same site. I'm sorry to say that it keeps me happy for hours, planting opium, dancing for tourists, hosting paramilitary troops and solving the world's ills one elephant at a time:

10 Gnomes: Rooftop (http://www.10gnomes.com/01.html)

[trisherina]

Fact: Only 3.97% of all level 12 games have won (http:////bored.com/boomshine/)

[Hyakujo's Fox]

^ I just wish I could believe there was some skill involved

[trisherina]

^It's under "dumb" and makes tinkly noises, whaddya think?

[Hyakujo's Fox]

^ I still refuse to accept defeat.

[brightpearl]

try this one then (http://www.pastelgames.com/index.php?dzial=game_play&game=51)

[Brynn]

Little tinkly dots game -I went all the way to level twelve and completed it the first time - it was entirely by accident. i haven't been able to win since, but i like it anyway.

Escaping from the kitchen is frustrating. what do the dog and the bird have to do with it??? Once i fill the pitcher with water and plug it in, I can't get it over to the bowl with the fish in it. And nothing happens when I drag anything and everything on top of everything else :mad: I'm stupid!

[brightpearl]

rollover for a spoiler....You have to click on the parrot's tail to get a feather, and then tickle somebody's nose with it. And after you plug in the kettle, you have to turn on the teeny switch on the pitcher so that it gets to steaming. To make things with the parts, click on the little hammer in the top left.

oh yeah I got out of there :)

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

a guessing game (http://en.akinator.com/#)

[brightpearl]

^I defeated Akinator. :cool:

But to be fair, he did choose someone with a similar job. It was a little spooky.

[MoJoRiSin]

sheesh I chose
snow white and
one of the questions was something like:


is your character concerned with apples in some way?

or something to that effect

where is the color "wine" when i need it?

[treekisser]

In ten games, Akinator did not guess my character. In most cases, they were not even in his/her database. Where can I get my money refunded?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

^ Um... maybe Bernard L. Madoff? :p Great with funds, or so I've heard.

How much did you invest into defeating Akinator?

[Brynn]

He guessed "your uncle" (correct), but not "Frosty The Snowman" :confused: He wanted to know if he was obsessed with food.


With this next one, think hard about the time you will lose and never get back. Just be careful if you were ever a fan of Galaga. This is extremely addictive. I downloaded the free demo, which feels like a complete game.
