Samorost flash game

This is a very entertaining if a bit surreal flash game and should keep you entertained over Christmas if all you get is another novelty tie or underwear! The hero Samorost has his dog kidnapped by aliens and must travel to their world to get him back. The backgrounds and interactivity with this flash game are very trippy and surreal. This game rightly won the designers a 2007 Webby Award!

Have a play around with this. The images below are taken from Samorost 2. Click on the links and try to solve the puzzles to get that dog back! Great fun! You can play online or download from http://amanita-design.net

Acrobots V Feed The Head!

AddThis Social Bookmark Button

This application is quite entertaining. The Acrobots almost seem to have a personality as they wildly sucker anything their little suckers can grab onto! Increase gravity or turn their world upside down make plus them appear and disappear! Should be distracting for all of 5mins!

Slightly more distracting is the application 'Feed the head' which is found at http://www.feedthehead.net/ pull the nose off the head a few times a feed it with balls tosee what happens! Has the feel of being trapped in the Beatles Yellow submarine film!

Yeti bubbles (I suspect Yeti balls has more of a ring to it!)

AddThis Social Bookmark Button

Need a distraction thats going to have you spending the whole afternoon in a trance much like Tetris? Well Yeti bubbles or Yeti balls as I prefer to call it could be your answer! It's very distracting and will have you whittling away at least 1/2 an hour!

It's suitably festive with the ice and snow and the cute Yeti and penguin looking on and is of course addictive as many arcade games are!

Thinking about this game however Penguins are restricted to the Southern hemisphere and the Yeti is reported from the Himalayas so thats a little misleading lol!

You can download this arcade game here for free CLICK HERE

Screen shot of the game:



There are many other free great games available from http://www.gametop.com/ which is where this game originated.

Is this your name?

AddThis Social Bookmark Button

Is this your name?

If you've ever wondered about the origins or meaning of your own name then this site is certainly for you. Type your name into the search engine and it instantly reveals a wealth of information about your name.



http://www.isthisyour.name/


It proves to be quite entertaining and certainly very distracting! Here is an example:

Etymology for the name Jason Feather


Forename:
Origin:
Greek
Meaning: Healer

Top 5 Facts:


42% of the letters are vowels. Of one million first and last names we looked at, 22.8% have a higher vowel make-up. This means you are well envoweled.
  1. Backwards, it is Nosaj Rehtaef... nice ring to it, huh?
  2. In Pig Latin, it is Asonjay Eatherfay.
  3. In ASCII binary it is...
    01001010 01100001 01110011 01101111 01101110 00100000 01000110 01100101 01100001 01110100 01101000 01100101 01110010

3 Things You Didn't Know:


  1. Your personal power animal is the Grizzly Bear
  2. Your 'Numerology' number is 5. If it wasn't bulls**t, it would mean that you are adventurous, mercurial, and sensual. You seek growth through adventure and different life experiences. Although you are a critical thinker, you can sometimes over-ponder an issue.
  3. According to the US Census Bureau°, 0.662% of US residents have the first name 'Jason' and 0.001% have the surname 'Feather'. The US has around 300 million residents, so we guesstimate there are 20 'Jason Feather's.
