Another habit forming web game...

Not for the sqeemesh....

Haha i laughed so hard! Mine went on forever! It's so funny to think it's going to stop and then hit an explosive and go like 20 ft. in the air.

About 2-3 tries in I got 1,181 ft. ^_^ Funny stuff.

Lately I've been addicted to Mob Wars on Facebook, spend way too much time on that stupid game.
Go read "Ishmael" a novel by Daniel Quinn. It will literally change your life.

Lucky you. My work uses WebNonsense (which blocks everything in the world except porn, it seems).

Well naturally that's a violation of company policy... but yes, a co-workers stumbled across some unintentionally a month or so ago, and I'm 100% certain (based largely on prior experience) I could have porn up on my computer in 15 minutes or less if I didn't care about my job and really tried to find some.

That's what drives me BATTY about Websense: it's a web traffic baby-sitter, a short-cut, and an inefficient one at best. And yes, yes, I understand that it's a useful tool for a company of 45,000 people, and that it's not feasible to have the IT staff play the watchdog role without the assistance of a program... none of this changes the fact that Websense blocks thousands of harmless sites and misses thousands of harmful sites even with the finest-tuned settings.

Yep, some games are like that ... totally fun but they serve no educational purpose, aren't a test of ability or skill, and waste tons of time and/or energy. Since my entire day is spent teaching or learning, utilizing my abilities and skills to meet deadlines or goals, and managing each precious second ...
I LOVE mindless games like these that let my brain relax.

How about a habit forming web game that's actually beneficial? Shocking? I know. This one donates ten grains of rice for every vocab word you get right.
