星探(Find Stars, Waste Time)

First of all, have you seen this man?

If you enjoy finding stars, this is the game for you.

And if you can't get enough, here's the sequel.



(It had been a while since we'd posted a picture of Mark Ruffalo)

Good crop today, mostly because I had most of the day off...

The Aptly named clip "Why Italian Restaurants Failed in Dubai"



And now a brief interlude:



I think the funniest thing about that clip is how serious the guy looks, and that he has a whole series of youtube videos including such classics as Sweet Child O' Mine and an emotional rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody.

Looking for new ways of using google maps? How about finding crack?

And for those of you who really don't want to get anything done today how about a delightful jigsaw puzzle?

And finally a Japanese reenactment of the song We Are the World (if one thing from the 80's deserves to be celebrated, it was that video):


I think the Bruce Springsteen guy is the best, although the Cyndi Lauper one could actually be Cyndi Lauper, so maybe that wins. It's a shame they didn't do some of the other singers like Bob Dylan or Steve Perry.

Flugtag

Apparently all the profits from selling Red Bull were put to educational use.

Campaign

In honor of Super Tuesday here's a dated political strategy game. Think of it as battle chess with a political theme.

Cat on a Dorphin

A very Japanese game to get you through the weekend (or Monday morning). basic plot: fling the cat in the air to keep it from drowning, but be sure to catch it and take it to the end of the track because the cat wants to be there apparently.

Untangle

Here's another fun timewaster for those of you stuck at work today. The game is called Untangle, and if you can't figure it out you need help.

Cursor*10

Here's a clever little game that won't test your knowledge of geography. It took me a couple of tries to get the hang of it, but once you do it's fun trying to maximize your score and compliment your previous moves.

Traveler's IQ

Here's a fun game to test your knowledge of geography. I got up to level 11, but didn't have enough points for 12. Sometimes the hardest part is figuring out where these cities are without natural features to guide you (Russia and Canada are hard). We have a pretty well traveled group of friends, so write in your scores (unless you're too embarrassed).
