31 Spooky Games for Hallowen
debbie | October 1, 2009 | 4:29 pm | action, brain, escape, flash, free, free trial, puzzle, time waster | No comments

I’ve collected 31 of my favorite scary, creepy and fun games for a month of Halloween goodness.  The games are divided into kid-friendly and mature, and they include zombies, vampires, ghosts, and creepy houses.

Most of them are hosted on my site, or they are free to play on other sites. A few are free to play for an hour, but then you have to buy to get to higher levels. There are also a couple of videos and some just plain weird games.

My Casual Games Halloween Collection.

Enjoy!

Nudge – cool, free, music maker!
debbie | September 28, 2009 | 2:55 am | free, rhythm, time waster | No comments

This is the coolest timewaster ever. Create your own music with Nudge. Select 1 of 8 different sound patterns, use your mouse to draw or select notes and combine sounds. You can adjust the volume and tempo for your piece. Then share it with the world with Get & Share.

The final song sounds like a ringtone, or an old-school game soundtrack, but playing around with the notes is fun (and free!). Click below to hear my composition.

Cryptic Clues – free movie puzzle game
debbie | September 26, 2009 | 1:54 am | free, puzzle, time waster, trivia | No comments

cryptic-canvasWant more seek and find movie fun? Here’s another all-movie picture puzzle called Cryptic Canvas. See if you can find the 50 movie titles (mostly newer movies) in the pic.

Just click on what you think the clue is (the train, for example). Once the box comes up, type in your movie title and press enter.  If you’re right, the box will turn green and the clue will fade out. If you’re wrong, the box turns red and nothing else happens.

Can you find all 50 clues? I haven’t been able to, but when I do, I’ll post a walkthrough.

50 Comedies – find all the visual movie puns!
debbie | September 25, 2009 | 12:29 am | free, puzzle, time waster, trivia, twisted | No comments

50comediesA former post of mine was all about how I enjoyed the Dark M&M’s 50 Horror Moves pun and seek game. Well here’s one for your funnybone. Test your knowledge of funny movies and bad visual gags with 50 Comedies. It’s hard, but you’ll feel very clever if you get them all.

There are some ground rules:

  • The names are all of actual comedy movies
  • No sequels
  • You must type your answers in lowercase – no caps
  • Click the enter button to check an answer
  • Right answers will get a checkmark, and the clue will turn blue. Wrong ones will get a red blink and then nothing.

Now, I’ve got to get back to the puzzle. I’m still trying to figure out the one with Keifer’s butt…

If you need help (and if you’re like me you will) I’ve posted a list of the movies on my hints page.  Don’t look until you’ve gotten many of them, though, because the list is in random order and may take some of the fun away.

geek hierarchy chart

And geek week continues, with the Geek Hierarchy Chart.  Ever wonder who’s geekier than Trekkies at a convention? With this chart, you’ll know, and be able to pinpoint just how geeky you are. If you wanna know, I’m sort of in the 3rd tier, with my love of video games, sci fi fiction and lots of sci fi TV.

the internet party
debbie | August 14, 2008 | 12:32 am | funny, time waster, video | No comments

Another take on the internet community. This is what would happen if Google’s parents left town for the weekend. What kind of party would their kid throw? Very funny video, although not kid-safe at all.

fishdom – match-3 aquarium goodness
debbie | August 4, 2008 | 2:45 am | action, free trial, time waster | No comments

Fishdom match-3 game imageYep, it’s been a while since I’ve posted. Fishdom is a match-3 game that I love to play. It’s soothing, with a bit of everything.

The graphics and sound are amazing. You play a match-3 game to win money. With the money, you can outfit one of 3 aquariums with fish and decorations. You can even feature your creations as wallpaper on your computer. This is a great game that combines gameplay, shopping and eye-candy, all in one.

The only complaint I have is that the game loads somewhat slowly. However, the great graphics and sound are worth it. Download Fishdom today – get a free 1-hour trial today or buy it for $19.95.

debbie | July 8, 2007 | 6:06 am | free, funny, time waster | No comments

i-c-dead-peeps.jpgOh my god! icanhascheezburger.com has the funniest cat pics and captions around. Of course, I’m an English nerd, so the captions make my teeth clench, but the pictures are so funny that it’s worth it! I spent a lot of time going through the 90+ pages of pictures (what? yes, I do have a life, really….). The picture here is from page 4.

Catch the wacky cats (and an occasional mouse, ferret, bunny, and dog) here.
