Was Kenken also really popular with elderly folks before kids randomly decided it's fun to do math puzzles in their free time?
Doin' podcasts before they were cool.

Oh, man, I just clicked this link. Great, great game. Unfortunately at level 7 there must have been a gust of wind or something because my mouse moved involuntarily.

Swing and a miss.

Some of the stages were hard, but a lot of the later stages were cake.

Yawn.

If I am going to keep indulging in your games, why don't you try KenKen? Just do a 4X4, you may surprise yourself.

I did! I already said that it's not my kind of game, so I'm offering up games that are interesting timewasters, rather than just telling you to not shoot the puppy over and over again.

On the same site as Don't Shoot The Puppy, I'm playing the "Make the World a Better Place" one - so far, up to 24,800 points and still counting...4 ranks to go and I'm Stalin at the moment...

WTF?

RRRRthatsfiveRs is an interesting website. Every game they have basically is created solely to destroy all of your preconceived notions about how flash games like that work. One of my favourites is 'Race to the Finish'.

I left for work at about 210000 pts, and ranked at Jesus Christ, with 1 rank to go. I came back just now from work with 1022341 pts accumulated and it scrolling rapidly through the rankings. So fast I can't read them, so I don't know what #1 was, but I believe it is "...".

I gave up when I re-read the introduction about the game. It says that the third kick is a guaranteed win - therefore it will continue indefinitely. The algorithm that calculates the distance of each 'bounce' and where to place the objects on the ground is set to place them at the perfect spots so that the surviving piece of his computer just keeps going...

I figured it would've been something like that. I didn't play it so much as let it run on my computer and check it every 10-15 min (after it hit Stalin), and then left for work, and nearly 10 hours later...
