I love these types of games, but I am woefully bad at them



The description from their webpage describes it best:
MOTAS is an online graphic adventure game in which the adventurer has to solve riddles and puzzles, find and use objects, escape from locked rooms, find hidden passages and be a detective and examine everything to unlock the doors of the mystery of time and space.
You can google for walk-throughs, but that sort of takes the fun out of it all - unless you just want to see what happens in the end.

Penguins and Cannons!

More recreational penguin torture. Don't forget to use the grenades and rockets. Play two player game against yourself to play faster turns.

Conquer Antarctica

In case "hello" isn't sufficient



I should add the latest winner to this list: "It's not about you, it's not about me. It's beyond you and me. It's about us." Yes, a guy did actually use this on me this past weekend. I don't want to say that it actually was effective, but it did get conversation rolling. Maybe that was the whole point.

In case you're stuck at a bar and someone catches your fancy, maybe you can try one of these out. Let us know if any of them worked.

(By the way - click on the image to make it bigger if you can't read the text. It's quite funny.)

The Most Complete and Useless Collection of Pick-Up Lines

In the internet version, you can't cheat by reading all the endings first


I used to love those "Choose Your Own Adventure" books. Here's an internet version, with 223 different endings, not including the "hard mode."

If you live in L.A., like cheese and like voting...


...then this is the place to be for the month of April. It sounds like this place is worth visiting if only to see all that insane hard work in person.

I look at the outfits on the covers now, and wonder why I thought they were the epitome of fashion

Like so many, I loved reading The Baby-Sitters Club when I was in elementary/middle school. I mean, they were so cool. They had a club, and it was all around baby-sitting. How entrepreneurial! How much fun! I was also jealous because I wasn't allowed to baby-sit. But, I did have the first half of all the books published, until I sadly outgrew them.

But, in case you want to relive the memories through a more mature and snarkier lens, the author of the below webpage has taken to rereading all of the books and sharing her 20-something POV on the happenings of the Kristy, Claudia, Mary Anne, Stacey, and the rest.

Also, if you want a more up-to-date consideration of the outfits these girls chose to wear, follow the link below.

Satisfaction and Frustration...


...are all a part of procrastination. When playing this game, make sure to sight your cannon fire slightly ahead of your target. Hold down the mouse button for more firepower!

Protoss Invasion

Oink oink!



Draw a pig, and see what it says about your personality. That's my pig pictured. I am definitely no artist, but apparently I am a stubborn realist who believes in tradition.

Draw a pig

Because people want their children beat up on the playground?

Celebrities name their offspring all sorts of crazy names, like Pilot Inspektor (Jason Lee) and Audio Science (Shannyn Sossamon). But, such nuttiness is not limited to celebrities - oh, regular people can inflict all sorts of similar pain upon their children as well.

For those who dream of taking over the world



It's like Risk, but even better. You can play against various "artificial intelligence" computer opponents or real live people. I just like it when the map is taken over by my entire army due to my brilliance.
